In a bewildering op-ed for the New York Times, Aaron Sorkin suggested that the Democratic Party should nominate Mitt Romney as their presidential candidate, replacing Joe Biden.
This proposal has sparked a heated debate online. Most critics lambasted the idea, arguing that Romney, a softer Republican and anti-Trump individual, still fundamentally misaligns with key Democratic policies and values.
Some humorously countered that if Democrats were to nominate a Republican, the fictional character Arnold Vinick from ‘The West Wing’ would be a better choice. The suggestion of Romney was met with widespread mockery. It’s a clear sign the political strategy of the Democratic Party is beyond repair when it comes to dealing with their ‘Biden problem.’
Responses to Sorkin’s piece can be viewed below:
Aaron Sorkin published an op-ed in NYT this morning that calls on Democrats to nominate a Republican in place of Pres. Biden next month at the convention, specifically Mitt Romney. For real. Don’t click on it. Don’t read it. I promise you ain’t missing anything.

Mind bending lib idiocy has peaked:
The West Wing’s Aaron Sorkin says the Democrats should select…a Republican, namely Mitt Romney, to face Trump.
It is bordering on some kind of health condition at this point. pic.twitter.com/GU32KbtAnJ
