So today the scuttlebutt (I've never used that word before in my entire life) is that Let's Go Brandon will indeed step aside. It has always been a possibility given his abysmal polling this year. Vivek Ramaswamy thinks it'll be Michelle Obama for reasons he articulates very well to Megyn Kelly. It leads to my paranoid concern (see below):
Vivek makes a good case.
So if the Democrats were planning on replacing Let's Go Brandon, they put themselves at a different disadvantage versus Trump than they face with Brandon remaining on the ticket. The problem is it doesn't look very democratic to parachute someone into the race last minute.
But the Republicans would have had to do the same if Trump had been assassinated. So, it was to Democrats' advantage if both parties had to do the same thing. They could have claimed this is an entirely different race than it has been; a start over. So while they claim they didn't want that to happen, it's terrible, blah, blah, blah, there are reasons to believe they did want it to happen and through sheer deliberate incompetence, could have tried to facilitate it.
Paranoid?
