I would be more concerned about the security of this open venue. Flashbacks to the assassination of Sadat keep coming to me.
I will say lots of prayers for our Secret Service tonight. I’d hate to see any of them take a bullet because of David Axelrod’s folly.
Regarding the safety issue - Does anyone know off-hand what the procedure is if a candidate is officially nominated and then doesn’t live to see election day? I’m not hoping for that, but the headline got me wondering. Would Biden be elevated since he’s the veep nominee? Would Hillary get it because she had the next largest amount of delegates? What do they do? And would the same rule apply on the Republican side? Any answers would help. Thanks.
Perhaps we should let out the secret, 75,000 of the 75,100 people in the stadium ARE going to be secret service agents.
