I've given this thought, and believe it would be a MASSIVE move if they can pull it off.
The RW machine invested everything they had in screaming "Socialism!" if Bernie won, and pushed him to the top as much as possible. That flopped.
Trump got himself impeached over doing the same thing with Hunter, while the machine downplayed his father's chances. And after Impeachment died, they moved onto telling everybody to ignore the braindead idiot.
Now Trump has the only (coronavirus-splattered) mic in town, and he & Fox & GOP moved left to become the "crisis heroes the country needs."
But if D leaders were able to declare Biden's mental health in too much decline and pivot (the later the better) to someone the machine hasn't prepared for, it might just energize the planet. The biggest problem would be how to execute it. Disenfranchising voters for the sake of the country and planet might not be seen as too big of a negative from voters who would largely be voting blue anyway.
BTW, my pick would be E. Warren.
