They wanted Haley versus Kamala. We were going to get the first non-white female president, come hell or high water.

Nah, I think the Democratic party is in complete disarray. The assassination attempt, whether it was a party-backed inside job or not, threw a monkey wrench into their plans, which were already falling apart since the debate. Trump is surging in popularity like never before and all the media's attempts to attack or downplay him are falling flat. Biden is looking and getting worse with each passing day, and their attempts to salvage him with things like the Ukraine presser and the Big Boy conference backfired horribly. The Democratically-aligned Secret Service and their DEI hires are getting unwanted attention. And the party itself has been divided over what they should do with Biden, and more than that, who they should replace him with. Whatever they're doing right now, it's being done in haste.

Yeah. I’m curious if Biden would have dropped out in the universe where Trump died or there wasn’t even an attempt.

It's such a bad plan, it's such a desperate plan, that it's hard to imagine that anyone intelligent came up with the idea. So, I have no idea who would be dumb enough to give the order to let it happen.

All I can see is coming is that they may actually try to use joe as a scape-goat if they get caught, whether the actual Biden upper echelon was aware of it or not.
