Biden has a total lock on the D nomination. He has way more than enough delegates. And those delegates must vote for him on the first round. Superdelegates are not allowed to vote until round two, if there is one.
But I wonder…does the DNC have some rule hidden somewhere that allows them to remove such a candidate? Something like our 25th Amendment.
Parties make their own rules, so they can change their rules as they see fit. If they decide to drop Biden, they will.
I commented months ago that I believed then the Demoncrats were running out of time to dump Joey. Back in Jan-Feb, they could have made a relatively smooth transition leading up to November.
NOW, today, I think that window of opportunity has long closed. Notice how Joey is being paraded out all over the place and looks stiff as a board and has that dumbass clueless expression on his face. I think the Demoncrat plan now is for Joey to have some sort of “medical” issue that causes him to drop out. I wouldn’t put past the Demoncrats to hope Joey dies out on the road so they can capitalize on the “sympathy vote” for November.
The question now is TIMING. The Big Confab in Chi-Congo is quickly approaching.
“does the DNC have some rule hidden somewhere that allows them to remove such a candidate?”
The secret to understanding the Deep State is that the “rules” don’t matter.
Removing Biden is trivial if that is what the Deep State wants to do.
“Either your brains or your signature will be on that contract.”
Biden has a total lock on the D nomination.
Seriously?
With what they’ve demonstrated to us all, cheating their asses off, trying to put President Trump in prison, do you think they’ll suddenly start following even the slightest of rules?
Pfft.....
Rules are irrelevant to the DNC, so if they want to remove him, they will. But it seems that the warnings have been there for some time, and he could have been reasonably replaced long ago, and it would have been readily accepted by the Democrat supporters.
My conclusion, then is that the power behind Biden is content with his diminished capacity, and has a fairly solid strategy to win the election.
The only Democrats who seem to be really panicking are people like Carville (who is no longer an insider) and Nate Silver (who thinks the DNC is honest).
“does the DNC have some rule hidden somewhere that allows them to remove such a candidate”
All of our states had strict rules and LAWS governing election processes. But a dozen states illegally and completely ignored and voided those state laws to allow ballot harvesting, mail-in voting, ballot “curing,” delivery of ballots outside the legal time window, no signature matching, ignoring missing date on ballot envelopes, etc to steal the election.
If they can blithely ignore such codified election LAWS, do you really think a silly, mere party rule will stop the DNC from doing whatever the Powers That Be want?
