Convince Biden to drop out of the race about a week before the Democratic National Convention, citing health reasons, and name a millennial candidate who grew up on a farm with wind turbines and solar panels, before enlisting for 2+ terms, and moving to a middle-class area of a blue state after separating. Turn the convention into a media frenzy, energizing the Democratic base.
Undercuts Trump among rural Americans and veterans. Reverses all of Trump's old and senile attacks against Biden, as he suddenly becomes the geriatric candidate. Keeps all of Biden's supporters, while stepping away from the "genocide" criticism.
Basically, if Biden backs out a week before the convention and names someone in their 40's, they can run on a platform of "Ok, boomer" and reach 270.
You want the old and powerful to give some space to the younger generations? Nah, they'd rather lose the elections.
OP asked what it would take to defeat Trump. Based on the memes from the debate, Biden is either going to have to get a lot younger than he is; Trump is going to have to stroke out; or the Democrats are going to have to shift to someone else.
Iโm thinking we crack a vial of mutagen and see what Mega Biden looks like
