You are the one in denial, you think Biden stepping down so some 'progressive' takes his place is a practical option. As if you don't even understand how incumbency matters. Why don't you post Reagan vs Biden and show how much lower Reagan went. Did Reagan win a second term or not?
You mean averages that include polls showing Trump up 7? A Republican winning popular vote by plus 6 and 7, ya right. You are joking or being gullible.
Biden/Garland may be playing cute dragging these Trump affairs since he's one of the few candidates he can beat, but let's say they do drop the hammer and not let him skate. DeSantis just isn't cut for it...you can see him crumbling in real time. Does Joe beat a Christie then? Regardless of how much better a "sensible" republican might be, some of us still want a dem to replace a Thomas (plus a plethora of other issues) if he retires or drops dead.

Don't think it even matters, Republican agenda is simply not popular which is why all they can focus is on transgenders. If the economy isn't cratering which seems unlikely, Democrats just need to do what they did during the mid-terms.
Both Bidens and Reagan's net low on 538 is -20.Reagan recovered and is now 15 points higher than Biden.
The base of that is Obamas Obamacare and Clinton's Chip.Obama didn't just make a tweak to Clintons Chip,he got millions of adults healthcare and ended the precondition ban with his own bill.
