If we want to get him out, it will take a big effort by everyone who wants him out to beat the odds and put Biden or Sanders in, the ONLY ones who can beat him. If Biden wants to win, he'd better recapture some of the youthful idealism and some of his support for the younger generation when he represented the younger generation in the 1970s, and when he was elected senator because of the boom in political participation by boomers like me in 1972.
That, frankly, is the wrong concern. The real concern should be the never-ending Presidential candidate list that draws great Senate candidates into a fruitless battel for the top job. Without the Senate, any of the Democrats will be President without power: no court appointments, no progressive laws of any kind, no reversal of the idiotic tax cut.
Both are the right concerns. Republican senates and Republican white houses block progress and maintain the current 40-year regression.
