    LBJ walked away because RFK was likely going to dominate him in the primaries. This situation is much more bleak for Democrats because their isn’t a well known and well liked alternative like there was in 1968.

      Yeah if Biden had promoted someone else starting a while back it would be different. But everyone calling for this now is playing with fire. They’re more concerned about not losing than rallying around Biden to win. Pushing him out at this point is going to cause enough disruption to guarantee Trump wins.
