Kamala never got a primary vote and Walz was chosen without sufficient vetting. Joe should have announced he was quitting a year ago.
Surely the rush to get candidates did a disservice to America.
Walz’s claimed 51 visits to China as a congressman (could that be true?) anyway (Walz is now changing his story https://www.foxnews.com/politi...n-says-its-closer-15) He’ll lie readily if he thinks it’ll benefit him. Telling Congress he was in China doing Tiananmen Square murders when he was in the US is just the latest disclosure.

Surely there’s a better Democrat who’s liable to be a heartbeat away.

You are acting stupid.

The process was the same as when President Johnson decide not to run.

The delegates could not nominate Biden, like Johnson, he withdrew. Like, President Johnson, President Biden threw his support behind his VP. The Delegates were free to vote for whom they wanted. The majority chose VP Harris.

Likewise, VP Harris was free to choose whomever she wanted.

I like Gov. Waltz. Besides that Gov Shapiro it is reported acted like a jerk in vetting wanting a major role in policy. Gov Waltz provides an opportunity to sure up Michigan, Wisconsin, with his proximity in Minnesota.

My Gov was never going to move any votes in Ohio, KY, TN, nor Indiana. Thus, he was not better to have on the ticket.

It will be a good day when VP Harris wins this specific election.

I trust Walz a lot more than I trust Trump who betrayed the Constitution, his Office, and every American citizen is the most vile way yet seen. Well, since various Federal officials took up arms against our Constitution to preserve slavery.

The Democratic Party is at liberty to choose a Nominee as they see fit. Why is it only Republicans whining about how the Democratic Nominee was chosen? All those carefully constructed lies about Joe Biden going to waste really bothers ya'll, doesn't it?

And the very concept of anybody who supports Trump having the temerity to accuse anybody, anywhere, of lying beggars belief.

Except for basically all the actual facts between them.

quote:

In September 1967 Johnson openly admitted he was considering dropping out of the race for re-election.[317] Johnson won a narrow victory in the New Hampshire presidential primary on March 12,[318] but in a March 31 speech, Johnson shocked the nation when he announced he would not run for re-election by concluding with the line: "I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president".

So the rest of the primary was voted on for the remaining contestants, not an appointment

President Johnson’s VP who won nomination at the received no primary votes.

This fallacy of yours is not supported in law not historical precedent.

The DNC delegates of the states were free to pick VP Harris. They did.

Republicans chose their candidate. Democrats chose theirs. WTF difference does it make? Red herrings being dragged around doesn’t change that either. Seems a few devotees of the orange Jesus are getting a bit worried about the outcome….

Stop crying. If you want to live in a shithole dictatorship, apply for refugee status in Belarus. They’re accepting dipshits.

Why haven’t any of the 50 states put up an objection to Kamala running?

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/0...-obstacles-48-states

Stop being a whiny, lying sack of shit and pull your head out of your ass. The only people who believe your stupid story are other brainwashed trumptards. Everyone knows you’re just planting the (fake) seeds of an objection for when your white trash messiah loses.

Did I mention fuck off?

Arguendo, Trump lies, uses over the top hyperbole and is a danger to the Constitution.

In the short time Walz has been on the national scene he lies, uses over the top hyperbole and his relationship with the CCP is becoming more suspect every day, now particularly with whistleblowers coming forward…. and he “allowed” Minneapolis to riot and burn. He also believes parents have little roll in whether some fool physically or chemically castrates their children.

I wrote that Joe should have quit a long time ago so every Democrat voter could study the man and his history. Joe did a disservice hanging on. He didn’t do his party any favors.

BTW, if you like Walz, I’ll bet you can find him in Tiananmen Square. Or was he home and just another lying politician.

How about we quote some authority
The Democratic Party's 2024 Delegate Selection Rules do not provide specific guidance for how delegates should vote if their candidate withdraws. The rules say the following about how a delegate should vote:

“No delegate at any level of the delegate selection process shall be mandated by law or Party rule to vote contrary to that person’s presidential choice as expressed at the time the delegate is elected.”
—Rule 13.I (p. 15)[10]

“Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.”
—Rule 13.J

Fourteen states have laws binding presidential convention delegates to vote according to how they were allocated after the state's primary, but 12 of those states allow delegates to be released when a candidate withdraws or after a specific number of rounds of voting at the national convention.

Again, the S. Ct., recently upheld states mandating through legislation delegates be bound by state election in the general election. However, as 12 states recognize when the candidate for a party nomination withdraws, the delegates are unbound.

This has happened before. No one had a majority of delegates pledged through state primaries. The party delegate majority chose the setting VP who got no primary votes, and did not campaign.

This is not even a non issue. It is foolishness.

There was no other process to be had once President Biden withdrew, but to hold the Convention and vote.

Don’t confuse the esteemed jurist with facts…

I don't hear Dems protesting how their candidate was chosen. Why should the Reps have a say in it?

This time we had two pretend primaries, resulting in two coronations. Lipstick on a pig.

Actually, you complained the nomination of VP Harris was too fast.

There was no other process to be applied to nominate a candidate when President Biden withdrew.

It was not too fast. It was all that could be done.

The Convention was not getting moved back to September w an election to be had in November.

The state’s were not going to re-run primary elections.

The DNC and states has procedure to follow in the event President Biden withdraw. That was followed in the time given to perform it.

No more and no less.

Damn, Doc.
I never said that the Democrats broke any rule or did anything wrong. I just said that I believe there could be better candidates (and a better likelihood of Democrats winning, as an afterthought) if Joe and his handlers had done the right thing earlier.

I don’t disagree. I’m not faulting the system, just Joes inability to quit sooner and to allow the primary system, as bad it is, to work.

I agree Biden should have withdrawn earlier, but think Harris would be the nominee anyway. There's tradition of VPs being the next nominee. Nixon, Bush I, Biden, and so on.

Yep…

Oh, let's be honest. Exactly what Democrat would you be willing to describe as "better" in your fucked-up estimation?

You dipsticks think you can dictate who the Democrats run against your idiot candidate. You didn't like Biden and he got booted....now, you're realizing that was a mistake because Harris is polling better than Biden. Because the process was "too fast" and is now not to your liking.

Idiotic.

They already had the index cards with lies about Biden ready, probably had the dates to release them this month printed on each card, keep them coming, a new lie every two days or so, and then a big nothingburger that sounded bad about Hunter to drop about the 20th, and that's all out the window now and all they can do is bitch and moan.

Roger Stone is likely very upset.

If Trump had been smart enough to not debate with Joe so early, or at all, he could have had the luxury of running against the one person he could probably beat. Sadly, or perhaps predictably, Trump isn't that smart. He then debated Kamala and looked old and inept himself. This is what we've got. Regards, Bill.

This is exactly right! Trump literally beat himself. I think Trump would have won against Biden all he had to do was keep his mouth shut, however, we all know him and that is an impossibility. We had two candidates that nobody liked so the first party to boot their candidate out and run someone would probably win. The Dems saw this and did it while the Reps have their head so far up Trump behind that they can't see anything.
