if Biden resigns, VP Harris has to get a VP confirmed through the House. If she can't do that, and let's face it the GOP House won't go along, then MAGA Mike is second in line of succession. If anything happens to Kamala Harris, MAGA Mike is President.

I wonder if this is the game that's being played.

Now if he agrees to complete his term and another ticket is selected to run, that's a different set of possible outcomes.

Each option has its own set of risks, and the situation is too dynamic right now to weigh them. Only Joe knows the whole story. Whatever he decides is fine with me.

If he decides against that the second best is for him to resign the presidency and make Kamala the 47th president and incumbent.

A brokered convention will doom us for certain.

Regardless of which path is taken, at the end of the election, somebody will be able to say:

“I was right - I told you so!”
