After the oddly timed 1st Presidential Debate in June (usually these didn't happen until after the Conventions were done and the nominees officially settled) the polls for Democratic candidates nationwide plummetted and we were looking at a Republican 230 seat house majority, approaching 60 senate seats, and 55% win for the convicted felon.
Given Joe's subsequent public performances he was clearly not up to the task of rallying or communicating effectively with the public to resuscitate his candidacy. It's a shame that his Presidency was such a success that it lead him and his inner circle to think he was up to running for a second term; there ought to have been an open primary in which all the Democratic candidates could have gotten out in the open in front of people and made their cases and demonstrated that it's a party concerned with not just edge gender cases and ivory tower elitism but actually improving not just those lots but nearly everyone elses' except con artists, oligarchs, and torture fetishists.
