    No, the optics here are very important. If they get rid of a sitting president during the next elections democrats will say “the last guy they nominated was so bad they had to get rid of him, you can’t trust them”. This damages the brand and they don’t want that. They always have to project confidence and never admit mistakes. It was the same with Biden. People around him new for a very long time that he was unfit for office but were hiding it for as long as they could. Republicans will do the same but Trump doesn’t have to do any debates. He just has to wave at people from a distance and sign papers.
