You don't need to have a replacement ready. You can run this thing called a primary where people vote on who the replacement should be. We can even gather up the democrats and let them discuss the future of the party and officially nominate a new candidate. We can call that a democratic convention. We have plenty of time.
Except you can't just do that now. We dont have plenty of time. Good luck organizing primaries in all the states again before November. And good luck pressuring the law to allow you to do that.
You're tight about the primaries. But, the democrats can still pick a different candidate at the committee. We have plenty of time for that. We can even do debates and polling before then.
Its different because someone has already been nominated. Its not as easy as just picking someone else at the convention because of various state laws about it. Thats the issue here, well and that there doesnt seem to be any clear alternative that'll bolster one last hoorah.
That would've been a good idea a year or 2 ago
We live in the information age. We still have plenty of time. But you're right, it would have been better if we had a real primary to begin with.
Seems pretty desperate, holding a primary and a convention despite having a good candidate that already won against the conservatives.
Not a remedy to anxiety, switching your horse at the end of the race.
You do not have plenty of time.
The mail in voting process starts August 7 in two weeks, election day is in a little over 3 months.
At maximum, you're in the last 5% of this presidential term.
No plan but to abandon a winning candidate because he's 3 years older than his opponent.
Bananas. Bananas!
