    Here's a Biden update from http://BillOReilly.com news headquarters. The decision has been made that the President will quit the campaign. Two reasons: Democrat internal polling says he cannot recover from the debate, and fundraising is drying up. (1/2) #JoeBiden

    If he tuffs it out - they're toast

    So many permutations

    If B is out...surely that means he's out of the race but still in the chair til the election
    If so who takes top of ticket?
    If he steps down, then Harris steps in and she has to be the top of ticket unless Option 2 below prevails

    The first question is....can he be swapped out on the ballot?

    Many states already having delegates pledged for him and laws in place that prohibit a change at this juncture, may mean getting someone else on the ballot is either far too hard or one that will need to be done in the courts

    Option 1 and 2
    1. Harris steps in and selects a running mate - death choice...and they know it but the prospect of swapping out the first possible woman and "black" woman as the POTUS for anyone other than a black person at least, will tear the party apart.

    2. Harris takes Gov of Cal and golden handshake in the offshore untraceable accounts and stands aside

    Option 3 (if Option 2 plays out)
    Choices
    1. RFK - hmmmmmmmm
    2. Newsom - death choice
    3. Whitmer - woman
    4. Warnock - black
    5. Big Mike - black and grat name and loved by the dems and the left and the media

    My Call - if B is out and H steps aside their only chance is with Big Mike
