A Trump – Biden Solution. You Can Both Be Heroes

Hey, Joe! How about taking one for the team? You, know, be like the guy who fakes an injury and goes on the Disabled List* so the rookie phenom can be brought up from Double-A ball. I’m not asking you to pretend to tear a rotator cuff or have a phony stroke to match Bernie’s real one. But how about you make a little deal. You call up President Donald Trump, or communicate along some of those nefarious back-channels, and let him know if he resigns you will drop out of the Democratic primary race.

That’s quite a trade-off. Give up your life long ambition, your unrequited dream, your guiding force. Toss it all in. Why? Well. for one thing, your support seems to be stalled, if not outright fading. The betting odds are against you. While your fans love your humanity, you just don’t seem to break the image of sleepy old Joe. Why not be forever known as the guy who convinced Donald Trump to “retire?” Become immortal!

So if would be a no-brainer for Joe. But why, you ask, would the President ever agree to such an outlandish proposition? Let’s look at this carefully for Donald:

1. Impeachment by the House is a foregone conclusion. The Republican defense of your actions keeps changing, while the evidence of wrong-doing keeps piling up. Sure you will be acquitted by the Senate, but do you really want to go down as history as only the 3rd impeached President? Join a trio including Andrew Who Johnson, and Bill Lock-Him-Up Clinton? Even Tricky-Dick Nixon had the sense to resign rather than be dragged through an impeachment, though in those days the Republican Party had guts to fry their own.
2. You will get Joe Biden, a guy you don’t seem to like, out of the picture. And with Joe gone the Dems are even more likely to nominate one of those two lefties Warren or Sanders. And that can give the GOP a great chance of holding the presidency in 2020. Which brings us to Reason #3.
3. With the Trump name less smudged your offspring will have a clearer path to their political fame (and fortune.) Give Ivanka or Donald Jr. a fighting chance for a Presidential run. Even Jared the K might have big ambitions. Resign now and at least one of them will have plenty of time to nail the 2020 nomination. No need to let the Presidential term of Mike Pence last longer than a year or so-just long enough to grant you a pardon (see Nixon-Ford et al, 1974.) And Nikki Hailey? Forget about it. You are gonna be Trumped.

So Donald and Joe, let’s make a deal. Monty Hall may be long gone (and a Canadian to boot,) but I will be glad to broker the deal. Call me up any night this week–except Friday, that’s our babysitting night. There is only so much I can give up for my country.
