It looks up in the air for me. Maybe they could buy Jill off or something. They seem more desperate and it's so entertaining for all of us who watched them move so fluidly to take down Bernie four years ago. I need some popcorn.
If the dem machine was smart - they would have been kissing her ass and maintaining a subtle relationship with her even before the election in 2020. If your candidate is a super-old, angry, stubborn person - planning ahead about how to change the situation is wise. If you plan ahead - sucking up can pay dividends. This is not complicated at all.
But I assume the machine is filled with abject morons so they didn't do that. If I'm right - they have no cards to play other than begging and pleading which nearly always tends to be a big loser. Another "bad day" and Jill and her hubby might start to worry about his all important legacy. And the dem machine can play on that.
If the number of people in DC and boldface name dems start asking him to drop out gets to be too big and/or the number grows too fast - that's entwined with legacy too and is a another pressure to drop out. I have no idea what "too big" or "too fast" is. Newsom and Whitmer are local party soldiers focused on 2028.
They won't ask him to drop out unless they know for certain he's already a dead man walking. If the say they have "losing confidence" in him that's surely a sign Biden is toast and he can't remain the nominee.
Whatever happens - this month and next month will be fascinating.
