Aaron Sorkin has floated the concept of eradicating President Joe Biden from workplace and changing him with retiring Republican Sen. Mitt Romney.
Sorkin wrote within the New York Occasions:
The actual-world downside is that no Democrat is polling considerably higher than Biden. Giving up, heroic as it might be beneath the circumstances, does not actually make us choke up.
However Democrats can do one thing that may make folks choke not simply with their name to cease Donald Trump’s unity in any respect prices, however with its ingenuity and sense of sacrifice. So this is my suggestion to the writers room: Democrats ought to forged Republicans.
At subsequent month’s nationwide conference, Democrats ought to nominate Mitt Romney.
Nominating Mr. Romney means strolling the speak: making it clear and highly effective that the aim of this election will not be our traditional elections however to forestall an unhinged man from taking energy. Mr. Romney doesn’t should be launched to voters; he’s positive to win sufficient Republican votes to win, and possibly loads of them. Double haters will change into single haters, and Nikki Haley voters may have someplace to go. Ms. Haley disqualified herself when she supported a frontrunner who unsuccessfully tried to overthrow the federal government.
Even Mitt Romney in all probability learn this and picked the true F.
There’s a lot craziness awash proper now that it might take a serious effort to dispel the prevailing ambiance of insanity and panic within the present political whirlwind, however Sorkin did it. He got here up with the stupidest concept possible.
That is what occurs when an individual with energy and ego does not take a look at their job objectively.
Positive, Sorkin framed this as a script, however the true world is like this:
If a non-Democrat wins the nomination, Democratic supporters will explode with rage, resulting in the collapse of your entire celebration. There may be merely no approach Democrats can assist any Republican concept, particularly a rich Republican who does not agree with 95% of the Democratic agenda because the nominee.
The entire thing bought actually silly.
Democrats have wasted three weeks doing all the things however making an attempt to defeat Trump, and that should cease now.
