Pelosi legitimated the discussion when she said, the question if whether this is an episode or a condition, and could not say what Biden's condition would be three or four years from now. James Clyuburn, the most distinguished Black member of Congress, followed up by suggesting a mini-primary followed by an open convention (note: no by the anointing of Harris). Others have noted that the "in all good faith" loophole allows delegates to vote their conscience. Biden is beyond repair. Party leaders need to develop a path forward, though delicately they have to do so with timing and a surround of praise that enables Biden to be displaced honorably. For him, does he want to go down in history as the stubborn fool who let a potential dictator win or as the George Washington who puts party and country first and steps aside? He can be a hero -- and I hope he has that in him!
