In the lead-up to the 1964 GOP convention, then-Pennsylvania Republican Gov. Bill Scranton famously branded nominee-to-be Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater a loser, claiming "unbelievably poor" prospects – leading moderates to rally behind the governor as well as a "Stop Goldwater" effort.
Scranton's supporters, however, failed to collect enough votes at the convention, and Goldwater went on to become the nominee – losing in a landslide to Democrat Lyndon Johnson.

Ok we all know that Biden isn't good. They don't have a good alternate candidate and so Trump may seem like a shoe-in. Why isn't anybody who is a Democrat doing this?

I mean, I think anybody who is a Democrat who had the balls to do a stop Biden campaign would get some positive publicity at least.
What do you guys think?

My guessing surmises that Jill Biden will, a month or two before the convention, make a public announcement stating that due to poor health, her husband will not be able to run for a second term. That period of time, that month or two will give the Democrat machine the opportunity to float various other people for the public to consume.
This will draw the focus of the mass media as names and personalities are washed across the media landscape until the time of the convention.
Then, at the convention there will be rousing speeches and energy creating propaganda offering the appearance of ground swell, grass roots acclamation and after numerous votes and ceremony, the party will arrive at a consensus as the best person to not only defeat Trump but also be a voice and face of the party for the next decade.
