Will there be a coup at the DNC convention? Great article

Tom Luongo - Article on Biden

For nearly a year it has been my primary thesis that the DNC nominating convention would determine the fate of the presidential election here in the states.

The convention is less than two weeks away and serious questions about the Democrats’ strategy should be plain to see for anyone who pays even cursory attention to presidential politics.
quote:
How can they possibly run Joe Biden?
It’s not that Biden hasn’t been a good soldier for the empire, he has. It is that he is unpresentable as a candidate in public. The evidence of his cognitive decline, which has accelerated in recent months, mounts every time he fails to even read a teleprompter correctly.
The only thing the Democrats are united on is their hatred for Trump. But that hatred cannot be an animating principle to base an election strategy on, though, to this point, they certainly have tried.
quote:
Moreover, since Biden has declined so quickly the odds of an internal coup against him occurring at the convention in Milwaukee is high. It’s why the New York Times is now calling to cancel presidential debates. It’s not because “never made sense as a test for presidential leadership.” It’s because, though the writer doth protest too much, everyone knows that Trump will wipe the floor with Biden.

Most people don't understand political parties.
A political party isn't much more than a private club.
They can do whatever they want.
Primary and Caucus elections in the states are nothing more than a gauge to see what their members think.
They can completely ignore the membership and do what the officers want at anytime.

They have posted rules and are expected to follow them.
When they change their own rules after the fact to do what they want, they aren’t going to have near the membership next time around.

This. And in this case, it is the right thing to do for the party. I think the people behindbthe leftward lurch of the party are evil and hope they lose. But, overruling the primary votes is the smart play for them. It would cause chaos in the Trump campaign as they have to pivot to fight a more capable candidate, and would excite their own voters.
ETA: I think the way it goes down is that Biden declines the nomination for health reasons. Then the delegates choose whoever. This prevents party strife, gains media attention, and gains sympathy by the public

Seriously, of the seventeen candidates who sought the nomination I can't imagine who would be deemed more capable.

A coup?
Posted on 8/7/20 at 10:01 am to bbvdd
Luongo is writing from the perspective that everybody agrees Trump is to blame. Au contraire, mon ami. He is a Democrat shill.

Well, nearly anyone would be more capable cognitively. But I get your question is probably more of: Who would be a solid candidate? It's hard to say but my bet is that with the media's help, can portray just about any nitwit as capable for a couple of months. Example: look how they hid so much of Obama's past during that campaign.

Bernie would be a homerun for their side. People love that wacko for some reason. It still baffles me why they won't run with him

Who said they are becoming Republicans?
If the socialists get screwed yet again, who is to say they don’t form their own party or co-opt a different one?

I'm really curious to see who Joe's replacement is going to be. Michael? Cuomo? Hillary?

Democrats always come together to support their party regardless of how the party treats them or doesn’t represent them.

True

That's the question. Recalling the losers who stood on the stage with Biden, other than bernie, none of them garnered much in the way of traction with democratic voters.
These are candidates who couldn't out maneuver Joe Biden in a debate.
I understand your point, and it's a valid one, but who the dems look to after Biden is likely not going to spur on their party to victory. It's far more likely to fracture the party than unite.
That said, I truly hope they try it.

Hillary's Bull dyke brigade will attack from the north. Antifa will be in charge of recon.
BLM and SPLC will begin the attack with a frontal attack through the main doors.
It will be a mostly peaceful take over with the Biden statue pulled down during the preliminary assault.

The sheer instability of the Marxist-Democrat party should serve as a warning to the American electorate - this party cant rule itself and is fully prepared to commit suicide, as in willingly kill itself.
And if that weren't enough (!)…
Their insane policy...

Good point. Bernie or maybe an outsider like Cuomo?? Regardless, the next few months will be interesting!

then why do we spend taxpayer dollars on primaries?
let the parties figure out to choose favorites on their own dime.
