“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.”

    The peril isn’t to Democrats the peril is to the United States no longer being a democracy nor a nation. Trump and MAGA want the states to decide everything for themselves and take us back to a Confederacy of States.

    It’s this entire thinking of party over country BS that we’ve watched for the last 20 years from the GOP. Now the Democrats want to so the same thing. This Senator is just being another agent of chaos and not standing behind the majority of voters that kept Biden as the nominee. Voting is over, the conventions are just side-shows to generate more funding for campaigns to affirm the voters wishes.

      Or, maybe they’re worried that keeping Biden on the ballot will drag the entire Democratic ticket down with him.

      “So, you’re worried that your party is not just gonna lose the White House if Joe Biden is at the top of the ticket, but that you’re also going to lose both chambers of Congress?” Collins asked.

      “I think that we could lose the whole thing,” Bennet answered.
