As much as we disparage Joe's DIMM friends, they can NOT be that dense. They can't.
As noted in the article I cited upthread:
The implication is that there is some group of people — “Democrats” — who were warned and who failed to take timely action.
But the truth is that influential actors in the Democratic Party not only were warned that Biden’s age was an electoral liability, they believed the warnings. The issue is that the warnings weren’t actionable.
It's not that Biden's friends in the Democratic party aren't aware that Biden may have some significant political liabilities. Or that they don't believe it. It's just that there's nothing that they can do with that information, any more than Republicans who know that Trump's carrying some negatives into the election can do anything about it, either.
Biden is the incumbent President. It takes enormous political resources for a challenger to defeat an incumbent President in a nominating contest. No one with that kind of political resources decided to enter the race, and now it's too late. So Biden will be the nominee, no matter what his friends think.
