Agreed.

As a centrist Democrat, if anyone would like the Biden-Haley idea, it should be me. But I think it would be perceived as too clever to be respected.

Biden’s strengths include that he’s honest, normal, and calm in crisis. Taking on a GOP veep would be correctly seen as a sign of desperation.

I fear Biden is pretty far behind. But that’s no reason to dig a bigger hole.
