Once you secure enough votes you have the win.

Same as any election. If my county voted different from the rest of the counties for governor in my state it doesn’t change the fact that the person with the most votes won.

Why do people ignore Harris as the obvious replacement? LonePirate Jul 2024 #1

So then why does Biden have to step down? edisdead Jul 2024 #3

Exactly I don't understand this push. She's already on the ticket. Walleye Jul 2024 #6

Because people don't really vote for VP ITAL Jul 2024 #14

Oh I think our current Vp is part of the reason for the call edisdead Jul 2024 #25

Perhaps for some ITAL Jul 2024 #37

Good grief. No. Biophilic Jul 2024 #136

I Agree RobinA Jul 2024 #85

You posted the hypothetical and asked people to name names. LonePirate Jul 2024 #9

Right you hijacked the thread edisdead Jul 2024 #26

Stating the obvious is hijacking a thread? LonePirate Jul 2024 #33

Thread wasn't asking that. edisdead Jul 2024 #62

Your subject line included these exact words "Give me one fucking name." LonePirate Jul 2024 #72

It said convince me and START with the name. edisdead Jul 2024 #94

Well, it just further looks like this thread was flame bait from the first, so if someone is flaming, BComplex Jul 2024 #113

Whoa, that was unnecessary. Envirogal Jul 2024 #45

Yes. Not trying to be rude to her. edisdead Jul 2024 #66

Aggression isn't helpful. Doodley Jul 2024 #132

I don't think Lone Pirate had the intent of hijacking thread FHRRK Jul 2024 #61

Once again and I don't mean to be rude. edisdead Jul 2024 #68

Here's the beauty of Harris as VP ... aggiesal Jul 2024 #146

If she were an acceptable caniddate to the money people Bettie Jul 2024 #11

The knives are already being sharpened for her. shrike3 Jul 2024 #22

Exactly. There is an automatic replacement. Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #27

Oh, so just "poof in" a replacement and don't the voters a say? Is the Dem party now a dictatorship? Deek1935 Jul 2024 #60

I think Irish was meaning after the election. edisdead Jul 2024 #69

It's a little disingenuous to claim the voters had a say Alpeduez21 Jul 2024 #70

it is a national election. edisdead Jul 2024 #97

Our primary in Florida was cancelled. That a lot of people. kerry-is-my-prez Jul 2024 #130

Hi Deek, how ya doing? Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #71

A brilliant, very qualified and experienced VP btw. bullimiami Jul 2024 #30

Do you really have to ask? ms liberty Jul 2024 #35

She is behind Biden. Voters would want a SAY. TONS of people would say "SHE CAN'T WIN!" for a host of reasons. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #39

Because she's a big part of their problem with Biden's age, a woman of color. Sickening we can do it Jul 2024 #82

This is true. edisdead Jul 2024 #99

Because she's already on the ticket Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Jul 2024 #86

Gender and skin color. I hope the women in this country are taking note. onecaliberal Jul 2024 #115

Talk tough? edisdead Jul 2024 #36

You telling people to shut the fuck up Kaleva Jul 2024 #49

And a typical response to people that get offended by the word fuck edisdead Jul 2024 #74

The question shouldn't be to name someone, it should be who is behind keeping this crap going. lees1975 Jul 2024 #4

Putin Walleye Jul 2024 #7

Meh do we believe Putin has gotten to schiff? edisdead Jul 2024 #10

Putin is behind Trump, everything done in Trump's name is probably approved by Putin Walleye Jul 2024 #16

Schiff killed his own credibility saying "Another candidate would be WAY ahead right now." That is beyond STUPID! Deek1935 Jul 2024 #48

Schiff wants to be the nominee. redstatebluegirl Jul 2024 #142

EXACTLY! Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #12

People like the OP keep this thing going. Kaleva Jul 2024 #31

Nope and you still havent replied. edisdead Jul 2024 #40

So insults. edisdead Jul 2024 #78

This is what I want to know. Who is pulling the strings? Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #32

Big Donors. They run in the same circles. They do business together. haele Jul 2024 #57

I think it Axelrod and his clan. He has been against Biden for a very long time Bev54 Jul 2024 #140

Joe has all the votes/delegates he needs to be the nominee .... Botany Jul 2024 #8

Kamala Harris? Or is that a fucking worthless opinion? Autumn Jul 2024 #13

I would love to see her as president, but Joe doesn't need to step aside, she's already on the ticket Walleye Jul 2024 #17

She is on the ticket. There is no need for Joe to drop out. edisdead Jul 2024 #19

Leading Democrats are calling for Biden to step down. You think it's going to stop? Autumn Jul 2024 #23

Ok who is her VP edisdead Jul 2024 #43

I think Mossfern Jul 2024 #116

She would pick former NC GOV Cooper or KY GOV Beshear. Funtatlaguy Jul 2024 #126

Your post has irked a lot of people SCantiGOP Jul 2024 #141

What about HER VP? Mad_Machine76 Jul 2024 #20

I would think she would select a VP. nt Autumn Jul 2024 #24

Of course she would Mad_Machine76 Jul 2024 #42

Are you calling for Joe to step down? edisdead Jul 2024 #81

They don't seem to reaalize Mad_Machine76 Jul 2024 #92

Enough on board right up until November? Doc Sportello Jul 2024 #125

Ok who is that going to be? edisdead Jul 2024 #46

Whoever she wants to chose. I think Pete Buttigieg would be good. Autumn Jul 2024 #73

So why did you reply? edisdead Jul 2024 #83

Because I can and I'm opinionated. nt . Autumn Jul 2024 #88

But you haven't even addressed the post at all. edisdead Jul 2024 #102

You forgot to change your OP. I did suggest a VP for Harris. Pete Buttigieg. Autumn Jul 2024 #121

Does Adam Schiff think he'll run for Potus in 2028? flamingdem Jul 2024 #15

How do you run for president after tearing up your party during Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #34

Especially if losing that election could mean the de facto end of that party... Harker Jul 2024 #44

And the end of democracy. Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #47
