In response to "Do you really think Biden's dropping out? You really think they're gonna go with Kamala? nm" by Turd Ferguson

If he drops out I don't think the nominee will be Kamala. I don't know who would run or would even want to run. -- (edited)

If you're a serious candidate I can't see wanting to enter this race at this point. Like, I don't see Newsom being interested. He would want the full election cycle to get his policies out there and to try and reach the voters. Giving someone a couple of months to mount a fight is foolish and very likely to fail.

Responses:

If he were to drop out (and he shows no signs of doing so), Kamala is the only real option at this point. -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 08:44 5
- Trump beat Hillary, Trump would beat Kamala. -- nm - LFG Jul 10, 08:55
- You'd think the black asian woman with a record of being tough on crime would be perfectly suited to an election against a convicted felon attacking - oblique Jul 10, 08:52 3
  - I haven't assessed who I think would be a better candidate (Biden, Harris, someone else). I think you torpedo the party if you skip over Harris though -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 09:07

    - heh, and yet we live on Earth 2 where all nightmares come reality. - Jovian Jul 10, 09:06
He's not droping out at this point he's dug his heels to far in -- nm - eag Jul 10, 08:38 8
- He might not have much choice in the matter come convention time. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 08:42 6
  - The convention is too late for ballot access in some states. -- nm - Dano Jul 10, 09:15 1
    - Plus, the war chest is *his* and KH. -- nm - LFG Jul 10, 09:17
  - what makes you think that? The pledged delegates won't unpledge and as of yesterday a whopping total of 6 congressmen (of 213) were calling for him - decline Jul 10, 09:01 2
    - I don't think that but was trying to point out that the choice may not be his own. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 09:04 1
      - This would be like the Democrats holding a bazooka to Joe’s head while the exhaust port in back is pointing at their dicks. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 09:43
  - They ain’t overthrowing him. He won the nomination. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 08:45
- Well imo what else is he supposed to do? "Oh Im thinking about it? I havent decided yet?" - Jovian Jul 10, 08:41
But do they have a choice in the matter? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 10, 08:36 9
- Here's an article from The Washington Post about their options. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 10, 08:40 1
  - That article doesn't begin to address the effects of campaign finance laws and state election law issues (getting on the ballot). - pmb Jul 10, 08:51
- Sure. They don't have to go with Kamala. They can choose anyone they want at the convention. The later it gets the less options there are to change - Krusty Jul 10, 08:38 6
  - if you want to lose the entire black vote, by all means pass her over -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 10, 08:44 5
    - She's not going to win even if she brings out the Black vote as there are way too many people that seem unwilling to vote for a woman. - Krusty Jul 10, 08:52 1
      - yes and yes to the IM -- nm - Pippy Jul 10, 09:04
    - If she is the replacement and she looses then she can't come back in 2028 -- nm - eag Jul 10, 08:47 2
      - if she loses there won't be an election in 2028 -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 10, 08:51 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - mud Jul 10, 08:53
