This is the most devastating piece I've read about Biden's candidacy, in part because it's not meant to be. @MarkLeibovich is balanced and even vaguely sympathetic

nytimes.com/2019/09/02/us/…
@MarkLeibovich There is no raison d'etre to Biden's candidacy beyond the self-perpetuating notion that Biden can beat Trump. Democrats think Biden is electable b/c they're under the impression other Democrats think Biden is electable, which is sort of the electoral equivalent of a Ponzi scheme
@MarkLeibovich The idea that what we need is a return to normalcy is basically self-disqualifying. It was "normal" which led to *this.* To return to normal (or to think that normalcy is the antidote to abnormalcy) is to almost completely misdiagnose what's happening in the world today
