The smoke filled room that could oust joe biden

So if they wanted to replace Biden (whether with Cuomo, the veep nominee, or some arrangement of both) Democratic leadership could wait until after the nomination to do so. Then, as they did with Democratic vice presidential nominee Thomas Eagleton in 1972, they could ask Biden to step aside, citing his health. 5/1/20

There has been some discussion about whether the Democrats could replace Joe Biden with another Presidential nominee. Some say this could not be done within DNC rules unless Biden withdraws his candidacy before being nominated, but this ignores a couple of modern examples.

The first is Thomas Eagleton, George McGovern's VP nominee in 1972. After it was subsequently revealed that he had a history of mental illness and had undergone electroshock therapy, the DNC replaced him with Sargent Shriver as McGovern's running mate. This was done without reconvening the Democrat Convention or polling any delegates.

The second is Bob Dole, who was the GOP Presidential nominee in 1996. After having served in Congress for almost 30 years, he was essentially rewarded with the nomination as a capstone for his career. He then ran a lackluster campaign that appeared that he didn't really want to be President.

This brings us to Joe Biden. Like Bob Dole, his (presumed) nomination seems more like a reward for his years of faithful service than the choice of an inspiring candidate. And like Thomas Eagleton, the state of his mental faculties will become an increasing issue as the Presidential campaign continues.

What is to be done about a nominee whose campaign is likely to implode before the November election? To deny him the nomination would be an affront to millions of Democrats who have participated in the primary process and severely depress voter turnout, so that may not be a realistic alternative.

But what if, after the convention, Old Joe is deemed medically unfit to serve as President? Couldn't the DNC then replace him with another candidate, as they did with Eagleton in 1972? Wouldn't this allow the DNC to claim that it had complied with primary/convention rules while at the same time picking a more viable candidate? 4/22/20
 
Republicans seem intent on starting rumors that Biden will be replaced.

Makes no sense with Biden leading Trump by a wide margin

Democrats seem intent on starting rumors Biden will be elected, and have fake polls to "prove" it, just like the "proved" Hillary would win.
 
As more and more people become dis-illusioned with the phoney known as joe biden it looks like more every day that it is time to get rid of joe biden.


You right wing nut bags are really scared of Joe, aren't you?


That was Obama's reason for choosing Sleepy Joe for VP in the first place. Give him "impeachment insurance", he figured correctly that the GOP wouldn't dispose of Obama because the incompetent Biden was next in line.

You liars always spew the same bullshit. No one is scared of that fool. I actually hope gets elected so we can get on with the war you filth are begging for.
 
It's funny that the wingnuts criticize Biden, but for every criticism they make Trump is many times more guilty of the same things.

Does Biden make gaffes?

Yes occasionally, but virtually EVERYTHING Trump says is a gaffe! He's the most ridiculous public figure, much less President, in the history of the country. Everything that comes out of his mouth is false.

Did Biden molest a woman?

Possibly, but doubtful. Meanwhile Trump has been accused of multiple rapes, has publicly admitted to an affair with a porno star, and has been recorded bragging about molesting women.

To all Trumpbots - people who live in glass houses are idiots if they throw stones!

You don't really think the fluke that caused Trump's election will be repeated, do you?

Trump will win in a landslide this time. He has proven himself to be the best president in history, the most American also.

Actually, President Trump publicly DENIED having consensual relations with Stormy Daniels, and didn't "brag" about molesting anyone.

It wasn't a "fluke", it was a thorough Electoral Schlonging.

And since the Democrats still don't know why they got corn holed in 2016, have shown no curiosity as to what the Trump supporters think, history will repeat itself.

Losing the popular majority and winning 4 major battleground states by less than 1% is a long way from an electoral "Schlonging".

Trump never had a mandate - or anything close. The fact that he and is supporters behave as though he did just show how stupid they really are.
