“I’m not going anywhere.” This week, a defiant Joe Biden called into”Morning Joe”to rebuke members of his own party who are urging him to drop out of the presidential race. The early morning phone interview was as shaky as his televised sit-down with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos—and just as rambling as his debate performance before that....
The vaunted saviors of democracy in the Democratic Party were ready to throw out all the norms this summer to make sure voters keep them in power.Unfortunately for them, the calendar is not their friend.
