The Democrats will do anything to win, as we have witnessed time and time again.
So if Biden performs badly in the first debate, they will go to plan B, which is to behind the scenes force him out and get a new ticket at their convention.
Yes, they can and will force him out, they forced out a Supreme Court justice with no issues.
And by “do anything,” we’re talking take Trump out. I totally believe that.
I can see the leverage being Hunter Biden.
The put the screws to him and convince dear old dad that if he doesn’t pardon Hunter and then drop out of the race, he could lose the election AND see Hunter put away for life.
The Democrat Party changed their bylaws in 2022, so that once a nominee has accepted the nomination they can simply replace him at will for any reason should they drop out.
So they avoid a nasty primary by propping up Joe, he accepts the nomination at the convention and then he steps aside for whatever reason they want after.
This has been part of the plan, at least as an option from the start. The problem is who do they replace Biden with? And the convention isn’t until late August.
Leaving whoever steps in basically maybe 8-10 weeks to try to pull it together.
There are 2 problems with this action.
1) The Democrats don’t really have a superstar waiting in the wings that can step in.. the names they toss about, Newsome, Michelle, etc are all just laughable jokes. The party faithful will certainly vote for whoever the candidate is, but someone who’s going to really inspire and draw in the independents and motivate the base? No one really on deck.
RFK Jr, had the establishment not been so anti him because he attacks and understands the deep state, would have been a cake walk to the White House and I say that as a Trump supporter. So, he’s highly unlikely going to be it, so who?
The second problem is, simply time frame, 9 weeks or so is nothing.
So if they are going to replace Biden, they need to start pushing the alternative now, (actually should have been months ago) even while Biden’s still around.. So if this is the plan, then you should be seeing someone, anyone that they think they can replace him with, start to be all over the news, and talk shows, and various other circuits... running their campaign, while not “running their campaign”. So far I haven’t seem anything like this, but if this is their strategy keep an eye out, because it has to start now, they can’t wait until August, and they know it. They may wait to formally replace them in August, but they have to actually have them out campaigning now... and so far I see no one that’s filling that void.
Here’s reality: they can’t get rid of him or they are stuck w Harris (Trump wins w 360-400 EVs).
If they also try to get rid of Harris, race war inside the DemoKKKrat Party (Trump gets over 400 EV
If they stay w Rutabaga up TOTALLY TO MID SEPT ballots are printed for early /absentees. (30% of Devotes w Biden’s name ARE NOT COUNTED), Trump wins 538 EVs.
