I’d also add my speculation that the repubs want biden to stay in, as he’s their best shot at winning.

Anyone else would be an unknown, and I think would be positive.

That’s my impression too. They know they can beat Biden/Harris. They don’t know if they can beat a different ticket.

How? No one wants to vote for him. We are all voting for “Not Trump”. Someone that people want to vote for who isn’t Trump should perform better.

Everyone I know is happy to vote for him. This idea of changing candidates is only being pushed online right now as far as I can see. Pretty convenient timing too.

What were the approval ratings for Trump vs Hillary? Pretty accurate eh?

I’ve seen you say that a few times here but haven’t seen an argument. I’m just curious, why do you think that?

He beat Trump once. He’s the incumbent. Changing this late in the game is going to cause a clusterfuck so bad that it would guarantee Trump’s win.
