Remember in 1972 when Dem VP candidate Tom Eagleton dropped, POST CONVENTION, due to his history of mental hospitalization, Dem lackey Sergeant Schriver was in in about a week.

I do not remember, was very young at the time, but did look it up.

I have read he was the vice presidential nominee to McGovern for only 2 weeks after chaos at the convention briefly put him there. And of course McGovern lost.

As evidence that the Democrats would not pay a heavy price in lack of unity if Sanders somehow being snubbed by some power move, this example seems completely lacking.

Eagleton had electric shock treatments!

You know, Biden has had two brain surgeries for brain aneurysms!

The Democrats can replace their candidate two days before the election if they so choose. The Republicans WILL NOT CHALLENGE anything nefarious that the Democrats might do.
