wouldn't it be infinitely easier to just make him win, let him croak, and get harris in the job rather than have to start a campaign for her from scratch? within a few months?

The assumption here is that you can make him win, which is far from a given. Democrats win when turnout is high, and turnout is high when voters are enthusiastic about their candidate. "Vote for the senile guy! It's OK, he's gonna die soon," isn't a message that inspires enthusiasm.

This is why people say "you vote for an administration, not just a president".

That doesn't give the same click inducing headlines though. Sewing doubt and spreading bullshit, however, drives up their ad revenue. All these so called polling numbers are fucking made up.
