I have no idea who Nate Silver is but he’s trying desperately for Gold at mental gymnastics.
Or pure tripe.
Anytime there’s a story with the slightest criticism of Biden (or Dems in general) I’ve noticed people just downvote the hell out of it, lol. Trump agreed to all of Bidens crazy demands just so he would have a chance to debate him even though CNN just happens to be network that was caught giving Hillary the heads up on the questions being asked during her debate with Trump. Hopefully it’ll be different this time but I’ve got my doubts
“Never play chess with a pigeon.
The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over.
Then shits all over the board.
Then struts around like it won.”
If it isn’t obvious, Trump is the pigeon.
Did you read the article?
By moving the first debate to before the Democratic convention in August, Democrats increase their option value. Here’s what I mean by that. If Biden totally and irrecoverably screws up in the June debate — he’s just obviously no longer ready for prime time — then he can step down and Democrats can pull the Ezra Klein break-glass-in-case-of-emergency plan and hold a contested convention. It’s not ideal — that’s an understatement — but it’s much less bad than going into the final months of the campaign certain to lose.
