Is Chelsea over 35? Anyone think that they might shoehorn her in there?
Is there ANYTHING in the Constitution that addresses a candidate keeling over after the primaries?
The way I see it, the ‘rats picked this dog.
They should have picked someone who was healthy enough to go the distance.
Michelle Obama?
They don’t need to replace her. The dead already vote in droves for Democrats, so it stands to reason that Democrats can vote in droves for a dead candidate.
The rats picked this dog...
I disagree. Hillary Clinton made herself the candidate. There would be no other. She wouldn’t have it. It was her turn and come hell or Whitewater she was the chosen one. So now we get to be spectators to the Fall of the House of Clinton. Will Bill go before Hillary? Hillary before Bill?
I’m sure there’s a sports betting site somewhere that has the line on these two grifter’s demise.
There's nothing in the Constitution about primaries. Nothing about parties. Nothing about candidates. Nothing about nominees, or being nominated. Nothing about being on the ballot. Nothing, for that matter, about Presidential elections (except an oblique reference in the terribly worded XXII Amendment).
The Constitution says that all 50 states may appoint electors, in whatever manner they see fit, and that those electors meet in their state capitols on a day set by Congress and choose the President and Vice President.
So, on December 19, 2016 the electors will meet and choose a President. Presumably they cannot choose someone who is dead. Other than that, they are free to do what seems best.
This is why the electors designated by the two parties are morons, for the most part.
An individual voter in a given state votes for Electors, who vote for the President and Vice President... No need to delay any election
