If it was about a poor debate performance akin to Obama vs Romney debate 1 I'd be inclined to agree.

The problem is this wasn't really about the debate. It was about revealing to the country Biden's clear senility problems, which at 81, won't get better but certainly get worse.

And second to that: If Biden was 10 points ahead in the polls I'd also say okay maybe we just ride this out.

But he's not. In fact relative to 2020 he's been 10 pts behind pre-Debate. Losing in every battleground state as well.

To me I see the car crash happening up ahead and want to jump while we still have time.

Sadly I agree with your final comment. Today at Camp David was the day Biden could back out if his closest advisors and family pulled him aside. But they're encouraging him to keep going.
