What if Hillary picks Bernie for the VP slot and then gets indicted after the convention?
What if Hillary picks Bernie for the VP slot and then gets indicted after the convention?
Excellent question.
Remember in 1972, after VP candidate Eagleton withdrew from the Democrat ticket, Sargent Shriver was chosed as McGovern’s running mate. This was after the convention.
If I recall correctly, the Democratic National Committee replaced Eagleton with Shriver. It was not the entire convention, just a small group of insiders who put Shriver on the ticket. I assume something similar would happen, if Hillary had to be replaced on the ticket after the convention.
