It's far too soon for it to have been posted, but it if you didn't see Lawrence O'Donnell's A-block tonight...

...watch the rerun, or seek it out when it goes online. It's one of the best answers to Joe Biden stepping aside I've come across so far.

and also the "kick Kamala Harris off the ticket" fantasy.

First, he talked about how Biden-Harris' fundraising has outpaced trump and the RNC at every turn. All the naysayers seem to be ignorant of that fact.

Second, Newsom, if anointed in a contested convention, would walk away with nothing. Zero. Nada--- as far as cash goes. Based on California laws, he can't use his gubernatorial fundraising for a presidential campaign and he wouldn't have access to all the funds raised by Biden-Harris.

Third, booting Kamala Harris wouldn't work either, because she's entitled to half of all the funds raised.

He said a lot more but those three points were huge.
