So I've read some rumors that Hilldawg or Pelosi are gonna take Joe's place if he drops out.
I don't think this will happen as if he drops out wouldn't it nullify ballots already cast for him? If that happens they will inevitably lose voters if all Biden voters get a redo. The next time they vote they risk some people switching to straight ticket Republican and that would be a massacre for down ballot candidates.
Is there anything flawed in my thinking?
Too late to drop out now. No way they get enough votes if they pull some fuckery like that now. Maybe Biden promises to resign before or immediately after inauguration? Kamala is on the ticket, so she can legitimately claim to have been elected. If they pull some switch at the Electoral College vote, I think they start a civil war.
Of course, before any of that can happen, they have to win (or successfully cheat).
There are registration requirements and deadlines for each of the states and territories that hold elections. There is no way to switch out a candidate at this stage. Joe is, and always has been, the real candidate.
The people claiming some sort of switcheroo was going to happen are just having a hard time believing that the democrats really are as bad off as they currently are. The reality is, the dems scraped Biden off the bottom of the barrel because they literally had no one else.
They knew President Trump would destroy whoever ran against him just like he destroyed Hillary, so anyone who thought they had any chance at a political future after 2020 didn't want anything to do with this election.
Pelosi.......ha, I wish.
Biden isn't dropping out; the only time the Democrat's press are going to mention his corruption or Hunter's laptop are in stories about Russians and conspiracy theorists. The only way he would be replaced is if they know he's going to lose as badly as Mondale did in '84. Even then they wouldn't be trying to win, they'd be trying to create as much chaos and confusion so they can pretend Trump didn't win legitimately.
States have deadlines that have already passed for deciding who is on the ballot, so Biden is there whether he drops out or not. Some states have laws where the electoral college electors have to vote along with who is on the ballot, but many states don't. You'll also have electors who will break the law and vote for whoever the Dems tell them to. All these will go to court and the Democrats would eventually lose, but it will all be very confusing and they'll say Trump was put in place by his 'packed supreme court'.
Neither of those two had been in the primaries. It’ll be Kamala and somebody else.
Voters don’t get a redo. The party will nominate a successor. The state electors will simply vote based on votes for their party.
Joe dropping out will likely tank D voter turnout. Americans won’t vote for someone who appeared out of nowhere.
he's definitely going to drop out
Any normal, rational thinker would say Creepy Uncle Joe will bail, but this particular demonrat has been getting away with being corrupt for nearly 50 years and he thinks he’s invincible.
Add the dementia fog over the top and he feels fine and comfy.
Cumala may be the front runner when he gets arrested, not Hilldawg or Halitosi
