"too late for a replacement."

I'm not so sure about that. They have this in their hip pocket...

A brokered convention (sometimes referred to as an open convention and closely related to a contested convention), in US politics, can occur during a presidential election when a political party fails to choose a nominee on the first round of delegate voting at the party's nominating convention.

Once the first ballot, or vote, has occurred, if no candidate has a majority of the delegates' votes, the convention is then considered brokered. The nomination is then decided through a process of alternating political horse trading, delegate vote trading and additional revotes.

Will Joe have enough votes? Will they stay faithful to him? Plus, he may yet be "persuaded" to drop out.

****************

Biden will enter the democrat convention with an overwhelming amount of delegates, even if he’s in a coma.

If they replace him the way you’re saying. Get your popcorn out, it would be a mess for them.

Manchin is maneuvering to place himself in the Ratland World Mind as a player in such a convention.

Presidential delusions are strong in him!
