Former Reagan-Bush assistant policy writer suggests Democrats should replace Biden at the Convention "for this reason".

This is really good stuff, showing the vast difference between the way Republicans were thinking back forty years ago and how the party has fallen apart today. Some of it was laughable.

This is more of the same theme of "younger, more progressive voters are abandoning Biden," and "his age is a problem," and "RFK Jr.'s challenge is a big problem," and "even though he won by 7 million votes in 2020, it was actually less than 50,000 when you count what he won in the swing states," and "the uncommitted vote is a sign of a bigger problem," that we've seen from Republican commentators for a while now. I've included it here because it can give us a look at what the other side is thinking, in terms of how they see the election shaping up, or because putting out this kind of deliberately misleading information that runs along some of the theme lines that we've seen in the media up to this point might affect some election campaign strategy.

My guess is that The Hill included this for a few laughs, or for a few talking points, given the rest of the content that appears there daily. I think it's just worth looking at how MacKinnon labels "one problem" by breaking it down into three problems, and tackles each one with misinformation and incorrect assumptions.

What should we expect, from an old fashioned, outdated Republican commentator from five Presidential administrations back?

1. Some obscure employee of a political figure from the 80s said what?

3. His take is similar to Bret Stephens

the extreme-right never-Trumper Republican opinion columnist in the NYT. These guys take the position that Trump is too dangerous to fight with the present Dem ticket.
It's amusing to hear their conservative take, but I don't trust them.

4. Another Republican 'for your own good-er'.

Fuck that asshole.

He worked for Reagan. Enough said.
