"Trump is a felon. He is a pathological liar. He is a menace," wrote the Vermont senator. "But the national conversation is focused on President Biden's age and capacity. Only he can change it."

Because if the election were held today, he would lose. He can’t gain ground because he can’t effectively campaign due to his age. If they change the candidate, they still might lose. But, at least they can make their case effectively to voters and campaign.

When things aren’t working, do you change things up, or stick with what you are doing, even when you know it won’t produce the desired outcome?

Find me a poll that shows Biden losing (as in outside of the margin of error), reveals the demographic breakdown, and doesn't have 18 to 20-somethings voting more for Trump. The polls are dogshit right now and if you look at the numbers that's what you'll figure out. All the models that don't rely on that faulty data show Biden winning.
