Given that Biden’s pledged delegates are all Biden loyalists...


But are they really? Does Biden strike you aa someone you’d be loyal to, even if you were a democrat? Perhaps in Delaware. But elsewhere? I imagine that most delegates are democrat loyalists. They’ll do what they perceive is best for the party.

Doesn’t matter as if Biden or Kamala, and it will be either or......Obama will still have the reins of leadership power behind the scenes.

I might be wrong, but I think each candidate picks his own possible delegates. So if Biden wins a state, that state will send to the convention delegates chosen by Biden.

Team Biden would naturally pick delegates people known to be loyal to Joe, the “Ridin’ with Biden” types from 2020.

Hilarious! The Dems are getting to hate Biden almost as much as we do!

presuming Democrats have a “conscience”, much less a “good” one is laughable.

I miss the Daley coppers and their hickory haircuts.

Two problems:

1) If Biden fight ‘til the end and LOSES, the “Democratic” Party will have a huge image problem on its hands. Any sign of illegitimacy that affects the party’s own will be very harmful.

2) The opposition will have to be fully united behind a single candidate. Who? They won’t be able to ditch Kamala without her enthusiastic consent, but Harris polls worse than Biden. And there are others with ambition.

I would question whether there is any such animal as a "biden loyalist". Biden has never been anything more than a political opportunist of the worst kind. This has been known for decades. Not the kind of thing to actually inspire loyalty.

How do they get his name changed on the ballot? People are already voting.

Hey Diana of the NY Post, ever feel like you’ve been overtaken by circumstances?

A news story which became moot rather quickly, eh?
