Fair Use: [i][list] [*]In 1968, Senator Eugene McCarthy challenged Lyndon Johnson for the Democratic presidential nomination and ran a close second in the New Hampshire primary. The near upset by McCarthy, a Minnesota progressive, helped convince Johnson that he should not run for re-election, opening the way for Robert F. Kennedy. History might have been very different if tragedy hadn’t intervened that June at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Could a similar scenario (minus any violence) unfold again, with President Biden in the role of L.B.J., Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the role of McCarthy, and a more credible Democrat than Kennedy in the role of his dad, ultimately winning the nomination?[/i] [/list] Lest we forget, LBJ "abdicated" during March '68, or eight months out, so by that timetable, Joe still has nine months to accept "the party's over". I respect Joe for the decent man he is, and I hold he sincerely wants to do his best for the country. But he is simply too old to have the necessary cognitive skills. Should somehow he win re-election, that term "more likely than not" would end under the 25th Amendment and with President Harris taking the ride down Pennsylvania Avenue with her successor.
