**** “She is the apex and the epitome of their party now” ****
If she is replaced HER BAGGAGE MUST! MUST!!! be assigned to and be carried by the replacement candidate.
The entire Dem Party should be made to retain her baggage. Regardless of who might succeed her as the Party standard she is the one they chose to represent them now when all others were available.
Any replacement for this election can be nothing more than a second choice.
