Let's look at this in a different light.

If Obama dies, we get President Biden. If Romney dies, we get President Ryan. Historically, this has happened 9 times in 35 administrations.

So we storm heaven with prayer for Ryan to become POTUS at this point? Can we storm the convention and demand this flip and not get laughed out of the building? What can we do?

Sadly, both of those VPs would be improvements over the top of the ticket. (And no, I am not advocating anything that would lead to the death of any elected official — in America, we change our leaders via the ballot box, not violence, and if we vote in bad people we get what we deserve.)

I think we all realize the pros and cons of Ryan vis-a-vis Romney.

I'm not defending VP Joe Biden, but by the standards of the Democratic Party he's better than a fair number of alternatives. Being pro-police, having a son in uniform, and being a longtime supporter of veterans is not enough, but he's better than President Obama. Also, he actually had significant experience in government rather than being an unqualified amateur.

I'm well aware of Biden’s liberal positions and liberal voting record. None of that is enough to vote for Joe Biden. It just points out how bad President Obama is when Joe Biden would be an improvement.
