Aaron Sorkin, the creator of 'The West Wing,' has written an op-ed for The New York Times suggesting that the Democrats should nominate Republican Senator Mitt Romney as their presidential candidate at their convention next month to replace Joe Biden. Sorkin argues that if Democrats truly believe that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, they should nominate someone who could definitively defeat him. The proposal has been widely criticized and mocked, with many pointing out the irony given the Democrats' past harsh criticisms of Romney. The suggestion has sparked a debate about the Democrats' strategy for the upcoming presidential race.
