Just no! There is a superb television pundit--last name Sullivan, I think--who made a superb case for why switching horses at this point in the race would be really stupid, among other things because they'd have to start from zero on fundraising.

If you would read Simon Rosenberg, you'll find out that Biden has lost zero ground in polling, he's doing fine, and in response to the debate fiasco, many of us are giving money. I'm not wealthy, and until about a month ago I had never given a C-note to political candidates. Back then I gave Biden a C-note, or maybe it was Airlift.fund, which you should give to because it's terrific getting money to grass roots people who know the territory. And just today I gave Biden another C-note.

Start reading Simon Rosenberg and you'll feel a lot better. He's on substack.

I do get Simon's emails, David. Because the stakes in this election are so astronomically high, we are rightly concerned. Biden has done an outstanding job. The next task, of course, is to get re-elected. I, too, have given more money this campaign cycle than ever before. I think that I only made one donation to Biden's campaign since I've been concentrating on the Senate races. If ever there was a time for us to be opening our wallets to make political donations, it's now. Literally, now or never. And, Simon does make some good points. In fact, excellent points.

Lawrence O'Donnell makes a superb case for why switching horses at this point in the race would be incredibly dumb
