Mr. Kristol is absolutely right about this:

"Democrats should fight back when they are slandered and defamed. Perhaps they should move to secure the best standard-bearer possible for a very important election. Perhaps they should seek to win instead of being resigned to losing."

But his implication that President Biden is not "the best standard-bearer possible" is quite in line with the MSM, who keep banging the anti-Biden drum.

Let us be clear about this:

No candidate, other than President Biden, is stepping forward to say "Follow me! I can lead the Democratic Party to victory in November and here's how I'll do it." No one.

There's a reason for that. All the dream candidates are professionals who understand that you can't build a presidential campaign in two months. It takes two years. Only the most exceptional and charismatic leader would dare to try. And such a person would not be waiting to see which way the wind blows before taking the leap.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the nominees. We've had more than two weeks to reach another conclusion. It's just not there. They can definitely win this election, but what's happening now is suicidal.

Everyone must unite behind President Biden immediately. There is no viable alternative.
