“Once hi accepts the nomination at the convention and he drops out the dnc can just name a nominee without a single vote cast. This has been the plan all along as far as I can guess.”
Yup. And that candidate will not have to travel the country gladhanding people, won’t have to debate or fundraise. The announcement alone is all the PR the “chosen one” will need. Meanwhile, they will be hammering Trump mercilessly.
Avoid a decisive primary with candidates no one really wants. And all the nuts and fruits throwing their hats in the ring.
Prop up Biden until the convention, then have him drop out and name whoever they feel will do best in the general their nominee.
This is the Dems problem.. the radicals are overrepresented in their primaries and if they have an open primary they will get someone utterly unelectable.. or someone maybe like Kennedy which the party establishment hate.
So just skip all then and then name whoever they feel is the best general election chances.
