What Path Now for Joe Biden?

It is a curious mess that we are now drawn into.

So much hyped up debate action for roughly seven months....with twenty potential contenders.  So by the first primary/caucus (Iowa), we were down to around seven serious players.....of which Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden led.

By Super-Tuesday (3 Mar), we were basically down to strictly Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.  By 8 April, Bernie gave up.

But now, we have this sexual accusation which has made Joe Biden into a problem.  Under normal circumstances.....Joe would be pushed aside and someone else would proceed on.  However.....there is no such person.

A mess for the convention to clean up?  On top of that, you have the growing dementia 'chatter' going on, and it's pretty obvious that Joe is not going to be able to lead the country by January of next year.

So my chief complaint is that this fake 'drama' built into the debate action....for almost eight months was unnecessary.  It's also not necessary to have the primary action from 3 February to 11 August (now set for Conn). 

The stage needs to be set where a revolving month (say four weeks) are open for various debates (never more than six individuals) to start in the election year itself around May.  The primary season would start two weeks after the last debate (3rd week of June), and officially end in two weeks (the 7th of July).  All fifty states would conclude this at their choice of dates but it has to end by the first week of July.

A convention in August would occur, and we'd proceed on to 100 days of national campaigning.  I would then make a 'quiet-rule' where all journalists and news networks shutdown completely the final 24 hours before election-day. 

As for correcting this mess for Joe?  The convention basically has to pick one of two excuses now for Joe....either for sexual assault reasons....he's out, or for dementia.....he's out.  Either way, it kinda lays a negative perception of the former VP and Senator.

I think forty years from.....historians will have a problem in telling this story, without laughing.
