What are the odds Biden gets nominated at the convention

[oldag]

Will the Dems nominate Biden? Or will they go into a smoked filled room and replace him with another candidate (Newsom, Hillary, etc.)?

They seem to be in an even bigger panic after the debate.

The potato will have to willingly give up his committed delegates at the Dim convention. Will he do what he is told or will Jill tell him to suck it up and stay the course?

Actually, no. There are other ways around it.

Actually, no. There are other ways around it.

It is great that you have inside Dem knowledge... why not expound on these "other ways". I am sure the 25th Amendment could be used if the Kamal tried but potato put his lackeys in the Cabinet so not sure that would fly.

For crying out loud, man. Do a quick web search. No inside Dem knowledge required at all.

Here is one for you.
The DNC’s Rule 13, Section J says, “Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in good conscience reflect the sentiment of those who elected them.” Plenty of wiggle room there.

The answer is it depends.

 

[TXAZ]

Nominated as a courtesy, absolutely.
Nominated as the actual candidate, absolutely f’ing ZERO.

 

[easy rider]

After all the lies about how vigorous Biden is behind closed doors? I think they're stuck with him.

Yes. Quite a number of news outlets have been discussing this topic.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

And they could even change the rules, as has been done before. More effort, but possible.

 

[easy rider]

Many democrats are focusing on the senate and house as if they are throwing in the towel on the presidency.

IMO the only way they can actually put someone else in is to replace Kamala and have Biden step down.

…Where there is a will, there is a way...

We both know swing voters are the only votes at play. Dick around with the process too much and those folks won’t be interested in what’s being sold.

For instance, let’s say at the end of the convention, Newsome is the nominee. GA, MI, PA, WI, NV, AZ have to be onboard in November and I don’t see that being realistic. Even less realistic is if it were Harris.

Maybe…just maybe…if the D’s decided to adopt RFK, Jr, then there’s enough time to convince the swingers.

Post convention? Biden’s pretty much gotta die or quit and the same problem exists, except it’s more easily explainable. But the same problem exists with the small number of voters who actually matter.

Never underestimate Shifty Shiff. He is just weasel enough to try something to promote himself.

 

[Renegade]

If he is replaced, republicans are phucked as Dems will be re-energized and rally around whoever it is.

 

[1911'S 4 Me]

The scarecrow will be Clintonized and Killery will be the nominee.

Let's see. Is there anyone that the public trusts less than Kamala?

The other Joe

 

[red442joe]

The Patatoe will be replaced by Joe Biden.
The Democommies will All stand behind him.
The steal is real, Citizen will vote because they must.

Joe

 

[single stack]

He will be nominated, if he lives long enough.
Then his handlers will instruct him to refuse the nomination and throw his delegates over to support the convention keynote speaker, puppet number 9, because of his patriotic and unifying speech.
Then the superdelegates will take over and there will be no need to count votes.
Also this puts Kamala out on her ear.

Could be.

But as you say, I think the amount of time for someone to decide could radically change depending upon the candidate.

 

[oldag]

The scarecrow will be Clintonized and Killery will be the nominee.

I would not rule that out.
