It is the only logical play given where we are in the election calendar.

The real question is who will be her VP nominee?

I'm reading Mark Kelly's name a lot. Astronaut, fighter pilot.

But no one voted for her. There was no primary.

When the candidate withdraws, the party has to chose.

It is no different than a candidate not getting enough delegates through the primary process.

Sorry, I have never heard of that.

Not much difference from the GOP having their heads up Trump’s arse!

When a person seeking a nomination does not have enough delegates, the convention is “opened up.”

Basically, the delegates are released to pledge/vote for who they want.

Out of tradition, unless things get heavy, the candidate with pledged delegates will “release” that candidate’s delegates to a particular person to obtain enough to secure nomination. It becomes horse trading.

President Biden has withdrawn. He has no delegates anymore. They are released.

They why bother having primaries at all, or even elections that the citizens vote at if it is up to delegates? This seems wrong.

This will be the republicans next tactic. The Democrats shouldn't even be allowed to field a candidate.

The democrat machine held onto goofy joe just long enough that they wouldn't have to let the citizens choose.....they can have mrs. Giggles for their next puppet.

Democrats are a real threat to our republic.

Their puppet was chosen in a back room......not by the citizens of this country!

Says the moron who supports the candidate that tried to overturn the result of a general election and who caused the J6 insurrection. Pure stupid.

President Biden held on. Your position is foolish.

Are you afraid of Harris.

Thts really all you can do is base name calling line a school yard bully.

Some of your fellow travelers definitely have their work cut out mentoring you.

They at least offer facts and counter arguments.

You…..”You’re Stupid”

The left has chosen Harris.

I personally believe they could have picked a more viable candidate with a better chance of winning.

They didn’t happen.

So now we have a two horse race and 105 laps to go.

Right now I think what you are seeing is a surge in polling for her that will abate back to pre announcement levels once the shine of the new candidate has worn off. I could be wrong.

As we are now a sound bite nation with little attention span I think a lot of it is going to boil down to her speeches and any debates. Her speech writers are goi g to have to be on point 100% if the time.


See you guys at the finish line.

You mean the citizens who have twice voted by a large majority against Trump?

Those citizens?

When you seek nomination you have to win a majority of the national delegates of the party. This is done by state parties through the primaries.

So long as the candidate clinched enough pledged delegates and stays in the race, that candidate gets the nomination. It is similar to the Electoral College. You have to get a majority.

A state through legislation can bind delegates to who wins the state primary. Otherwise, the party at the convention adopts rules on how to distribute delegates.

You still have to have a majority ot the process opens up.

All a convention is, is representatives of the state parties of the party comming to one place to articulate platform, policy goals, policy strategy, and confer delegates for the nomination of president when that is on the calendar.

So long as the person has one enough and majority of the delegates (pledged), does not withdraw, they get the nomination.

When you come to the convention so enough pledged delegates or you drop out as President Biden has the delegates are freed.

I never seen delegates not vote in mass by their state. They can.

The primary system matters. You want to go to the convention with a majority of pledged delegates. You have won. Otherwise, you want to go to the convention with the most delegates bc it is easier to get to the magic number when you start w the most.

It is fictional, but watch the film The Best Man. It shows the process well and, sadly, honestly.

Everything I said above applies at the state level for Governor nominations at the state convention.


Barring legislation the party gets to decide how it allots delegates. That is why you heard about non-pledged super delegates during the Hilary runs. Of course, that never came to play bc President Obama had a majority through pledged delegates.

No, I meant the Democratic Party who changed over 60 party rules so they didn’t have to have any primaries and could anoint Biden instead.
