24. Certainly not

If such a scenario should present itself, let him say so after he has had time to settle into office, and let his VP establish herself (or himself, though I bet it would be a herself).

As for your getting your knuckles rapped for bending rules, hold your head up high whether your thread gets locked or not (and I'm hoping it won't). The Primaries board has predictably devolved from a forum for discussing the different positions of the various candidates to a sniping and/or cheerleading forum, where you either get zapped for supporting the "wrong" candidate, or inundated with endless polls that say what the poster wants them to, or a calendar of some candidate speaking to a screaming crowd of dozens at an Iowa pig-and-corn roast in a suburb of Sioux City. Their positions on education, environment, defense, commerce, foreign relations, immigration, water quality, etc. remain mostly in the background if not ignored altogether. Like Stills sang over 50 years ago: "Mostly say Hooray for our side."

Even if I didn't agree with its premise, your post asked a question worthy of rational discussion, so it definitely belonged anywhere BUT the Primaries board, as far as I'm concerned.
