Here’s a brilliantly simple way to get Biden off the ticket.
It’s a creative solution I’d bet you haven’t heard anywhere else.
First, I’ll tell you what the idea is. Then I’ll share how to make it achievable.
Here’s the idea: beginning right now, if anyone conducting a poll contacts you — regarding who you would vote for, “if the presidential election were held today” — tell them you would vote for Trump (in a Biden-Trump matchup). Even if you are a Democrat or an independent voter who intends to vote for Biden, say instead you will vote for Trump.
If a significant portion of likely Biden voters did this, it would send a loud and clear message to Biden that if he doesn’t drop out of the race, Democrats will get creamed. Elections are about turnout; turnout often comes down to enthusiasm; and concerning Biden, there’s a near total absence of enthusiasm.
Now, here’s how to make this idea achievable. I have virtually no followers. But if someone with a big audience and lots of fans were to push this. Let’s say someone like Howard Stern. And then, let’s say Whoopi Goldberg were to jump on board. And Bill Maher. And then Trevor Noah. And Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.
If polling started to show not a 45-43 Trump advantage (over Biden), but rather a 65-23 Trump advantage, don’t you think Biden would have no choice but to drop out of the race and release his convention delegates?
Okay, even with that, Biden might not drop out. He’s a mess. In fact, every time he speaks, half of what he’s saying I can’t make out. The mumbling and leaving out words and talking fast . . . everything sounds garbled. But that just points out, all the more, the need to do this. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Do you have a better idea?
And if you’re wondering, “Hey, can’t Republicans also do this?” — tell pollsters they’re going to vote for Biden, just to mess with this strategy. They can. But keep in mind there are many Republicans who would also like to see a much better candidate than Biden running on the Democratic side.
