    someone who can press to the win on that.

    … like how they switched out the incumbent in 68 and beat Nixon ?

    In fact, switching the incumbent has been a sure way to lose. What’s your angle?

      Was 68 the last time an incumbent was switched out? Because as conflicted as I am about wanting Biden to give way for a candidate who is physically capable of campaigning vs being concerned about the ability to find someone with a better probability of victory than him, I don’t find the conventional political wisdom of 1968 a very convincing argument in today’s media and political landscape
