Set Them Free

Biden does not need to step down. He’s done nothing disqualifying. The debate, though, did reveal new information about his condition which he really had an obligation to disclose earlier than now. Since the delegates to the convention were selected with incomplete knowledge on the part of the voters, Biden should release his delegates. Perhaps most will stay with him. Perhaps not. It is only fair to let other potential candidates make their case for the nomination and make the case against Trump. An open convention is potentially an ugly affair but given the apparent level of support for Biden, I think any nominee would emerge with at least as much enthusiasm.
