Election

The most logical approach to the dilemma facing the democrats is to use Biden to defeat Trump and then turn things over to Harris. To see this more clearly assume that the debate never happened. Biden was having cognitive difficulties but for the most part they were kept under wraps by the press. They could have stayed this course until the election and then sometime during the first two years of his second term he could have resigned for health reasons. They were well aware that Biden's condition would get worse over time and in his case get worse quickly. It would have been a race against time to get him past the election. Now that his condition has been exposed they are up against the clock and must scramble to resolve things. He cannot resign before the election for fear that Trump may win but polls show Trump pulling ahead so there must be an all out attack on Trump's threat to democracy. It is imperative that they get past this debate so they can once again focus on Trump. Right now the focus is on Biden and that is not good for the democrats. They are hoping that Trump will start making public statements but so far he has remained silent.
