His vote share will crater, though. And virtual convention will offer scant opportunity for the disruption he seems still to crave.

"You will not rise to the occasion. You will default to your level of training."

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
