We used to think the same think about Harry Reid. Before he controlled the Senate, he was a go along to get along Senator that never really did anything, so we were not worried about him.

I couldn't write this fiction if I tried....

If you just wrote all this down and published it as a novel the reviews on amazon would generally say "interesting ideas but I put it down after a while, simply too crazy to be believable..."

Doesn’t matter who the candidate is, Dems can’t win this cycle... only effect is the margin of victory for Trump.

I wouldn't be entirely sure about that. October surprise! It's Biden/Warren - the left coalesces around the two and this could tip the scale.

I am absolutely certain about this... Had the Republicans put up a standard candidate, you might have had a shot for a Dem.. with Trump, no way.

Trump will beat any Democrat this cycle, doesn’t matter who.. only difference is the margin of the victory.

Dems can’t win this cycle and they know it, all you are watching is political theater.

The Democrats pulled it off in New Jersey, but could never get away doing it in the rest of the country because............. well something about it being illegal or against the rules or something.

Correct. They pulled it off in corrupt New Jersey but most of the rest of the states will shy with replacing Hillary's name with Biden on the ballot past the deadlines.

Are these the same states that shied away from the Democrats replacing VP candidate Thomas Eagleton with Sargent Shriver as VP on the 1972 ticket?
You know the replacement that happened AFTER the convention.
Two weeks after the convention, if memory serves.
Precedent? I think so.
