So with all this talk about Dems now panicking and realizing their corrupt, compromised Octogenarian is super unpopular - and would probably lose the Electoral College to Orange Man - it got me thinking.
How long do they really have before Biden is pretty much set as their nominee? (Barring any health issues, of course.)
The full answer is complex, because states all have different filing deadlines. Most fall between November and January, but one outlier has one in March.
However, the first deadline is coming up on October 16th.
And which state would that be?
The all important swing state of Nevada.

Now, I may be no expert on the esoteric particulars regarding Presidential candidate filing rules and standards.
But I do know a bit about politics.
And there is just no way in Hades that the Dems are going to bring their candidate into the general while ceding Nevada.
It won't happen. I don't think anyone on the Left, or the Right would argue this point.
Therefore, unless we see a knight in shining armor suddenly jump in and declare within the next 35 days or so - the DNC is tied to Biden like white on rice.
And it will be their inevitable downfall.
If 10/16 comes and goes, that's the ball game folks.
And we can all look back and laugh that the election was actually won over a year before it even happened.
Well, at least us Trump supporters can.

There is no formal, national deadline to file to run for president of the United States. Instead, candidates must meet a variety of state-specific filing requirements and deadlines to appear on each state's election ballot.
These regulations, which are set at the state level, are known as ballot access laws. They often include collecting a certain number of signatures or paying a filing fee. A presidential candidate must prepare to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of primaries, caucuses, and the general election if he or she wants to make it to the election ballot.
The earliest filing deadline we have identified for a presidential state primary is October 16, 2023, in Nevada.
