Lex Anteinternet: Why isn't anyone suggesting that Tammy Duckworth r...: I'm not endorsing Duckworth, and I'm sure she has left of center opinions that I have problems with, but there's no earthly way ...

Well, here's a good reason.  It's too late.

We're now so late in the process, even though its only February, that the candidates for ballots are essentially fixed. 

So, the Democratic Party is going to ride into the convention with Joe Biden no matter what, even though they're effectively so afraid, at this point, of how he'll perform in open sessions they don't let him do them.

As I've stated here before, Democrats don't lose elections, they throw them away.

The only possibility to avoid this, and frankly the only thing the Democrats can do on their own to avoid this looming disaster, would be to have Biden withdraw at the convention and let the convention pick a new candidate, which is really risky, and which will not occur.

Of course, other factors could intervene.  Trump could lose all rationality and blow it.  Either candidate could die any day now, given their ages.

Hubris.
