Holy shit, he did it.

And his follow-up post where he endorses Harris:
-
I was pretty damn sure Biden was on the path to defeat, probably bigly.
And consider that many voters were going to be doing the "hold your nose" vote, with little enthusiasm for either Biden or Trump. With Biden's declining condition, so many were really having a hard time sticking with him, but still not wanting to vote for Trump, well, because Trump. Now that consideration evaporates and they'll be looking at other issues when deciding how to vote.
At least we won't have any repeats of the last debate. Or holding our collective breath to see if Biden is having a good day or a bad one.
You really think Harris can win?
I don't know if Harris can win. But at least she's a a new face and the direction of the discussion will change. It's not Biden vs Trump. Yawn.
She will be able to sound coherent and on message on the campaign trail. Contrast that with Trump and his stream of consciousness rallies. Will Dems lose people who were all for Joe? Maybe. But will we pick up the people who were on the fence because of Joe's age? I don't know that there's any way to predict that.
I think a good VP pick will make it really interesting. I'm reading that not everyone on the other side is impressed with Vance as Trump's VP pick.
Maybe we've learned something from Trump, namely how to throw things into chaos. This is the time for the big gamble and it's a whole new ballgame. How it will turn out is anyone's guess. But it's gonna be an interesting ride.

Neither Trump nor Harris are good debaters, and her public speaking is generally cringeworthy. One again no one would win. We would all lose. In a different way than the Biden
-Trump one, but still a bad experience. I’d be happy to be proven wrong but I doubt that will happen.
