Kamarck said it would be “tough” to decide especially in a state that doesn’t have good polling, but suggested making phone calls.

Only one phone call will be necessary and that will be from the DNC, not to anyone at home. Even this is a thin veneer over the fact that the DNC can nominate whomever it wishes for any reason. It's democracy. The kind they have in North Korea.

The Dems love them a loop hole, though the preferred term is “work around.” I want Biden to get the nomination, but this would be second best. A revolt either at the convention or at the virtual vote shortly before. A not much discussed part of all this is the party leaders’ plan to to essentially come up with a short list of acceptable replacements. They MIGHT succeed, but that could also backfire in spectacular fashion.

It’s hard to say because right now these liars are lying constantly, but I suspect they’d agree it will be Kamala without any attempt to have a controlled mini-promary

Well, we all know how crooked Democrats inserted Frank Lautenberg for Bob Torricelli in New Jersey.

A prominent Democratic source said that it’s well known to certain party operatives that delegates aren’t truly compelled to vote for Biden, 81, even though he swept this year’s state nominating contests.

“It’s not a loophole! That’s the process. You can vote for whoever you want,”

In other words, the primaries are just for show. The Democratic Party bigwigs decide.

Biden has 3,896 pledged delegates.
1,967 delegate votes are needed to win.

So 1,930 of Biden’s pledged delegates would have to desert him and vote their conscience. Any less, and Biden would still win.

Given that Biden’s pledged delegates are all Biden loyalists, can the DNC expect that many of them to betray their hero?

I don’t think anything will happen. The voters are so far gone, they won’t care. It’s for the party. Stop Trump.

Everybody can stop with this horse manure.

Rutbaga is the nominee. He will be nominated BEFORE Chicago.

Of course there’s a loophole. What is the DNC going to do to ‘unfaithful’ delegates? The delegates are loyal democrats from all over the country. If the bigwigs in their state tell them that Biden is going to be a a millstone around their state’s democratic tickets, who are they going to listen to? The national party or the people they know and trust?

This is how Democrats save our “democracy”, change the rules until they win.

“Our Democracy” = “no one cares what the voters think”
