Democrats have Super Delegates which can set their own agenda at the Convention. It's really the only viable option to remove Biden from the ticket, but screwing over Harris would be political malpractice in the eyes of important Democrat constituencies.
Superdelegates don't get a vote unless it goes to a second ballot at the convention.

Something tells me that were that to happen, the outcry from a huge chunk of the democratic electorate would not be favorable.
The ONLY unfavorable outcry would be from Kamala herself. And deep down, she knows she's not qualified.

Hillary would be the one that Kamala would agree to cooperate with.

Despite the hopes and dreams of many Dems, it appears that Michelle Obama has zero interest in politics, and has never pretended otherwise.
She’s happily living a very charmed life.

They can and will do whatever they choose. Don't believe me? See the last 8 years.
Ethics, morals, laws mean nothing to them.
Their best chance is a Michelle Obama/Newsome ticket.
I know Michelle has repeatedly said she isn't interested, but..... grab some popcorn, sit back and watch.

Agreed , but if Barry has allowed the conversation she might,, however unlikely to cash in
would mean generational wealth for her daughter gg grandkids and beyond
a black VP from Trump could be the hedge

After sleeping on it I don’t see how it isn’t Kamala if they dump Joe.
If they remove Joe from the nomination they also have to remove him as President. They are going to push aside an incumbent black woman POTUS for rich, white Newsom? I think they can convince themselves that Kamala as a shot against Trump. I do think she has a better chance than Biden at this point.

I don’t know; all one had to do was watch the signs. Maybe they were counting on the pre-speech cocktail, as I was. But I don’t feel I have a right to be angry. Except with the disingenuous “strategists”.

I certainly think they can. They didn't Jerry rig the rules about superdelegates for nothing.
However, politicians are self-serving above all else. Convincing any of the rising stars (and I use that term loosely) like Governor Haircut or Whitmer to take the nomination on something that looks like a train wreck is a whole different matter. They don't want the stench of this toilet of a campaign to stick to them. They'll wait it out and jump in in '28.
The only person desperate enough and, more importantly, egotistical enough to think she can swoop in at the 11th hour to save America is HRC.

Quite the conundrum.
Never let them forget they propped up these sacks of meat as the best their party had to offer.
Kamala who garnered <3% at the Democratic Iowa Caucuses and didn’t even carry her home state of Ca. and crooked Joe wasn’t even on the ticket.
Bernie “I’m a fricking Communist” Sanders & Pete “I eat other men’s asses” Buttiegieg carried the Democratic Caucus.
frick Obama and his minions.

Are not the delegates slaves to Biden on the first vote in most states?

You’re correct, but Democrats and the rule of law, mix like oil and water. Even when they wrote the laws to govern themselves, they religiously break those as well.
