Republicans always talk about the "good old days" and how they want to take America back to how it was in the mid-20th-century.


None of them realize what they'd be giving up. The modern primary system started in 1984. A primary system existed prior to that, but as recently as 1968, candidates were selected that did not win the popular vote of the people. Hubert Humphrey won over Eugene McCarthy, Humphrey was not an announced candidate during the primaries.


I guarantee that most people don't understand how the primary system works in this country.

Yeah, you'd think the democrats being screwed over by the process would be complaining about it, instead of republican pundits and self-proclaimed constitutionalists.

In all seriousness, I actually wouldn't expect many/any who were planning
to vote for Biden to really complain or even care, even if there is
something wrong with how it happened. All they care about is keeping the
Bad Orange Man from being President again.

Just like most MAGA Republicans don't care if Trump is guilty of any
felonies or not. They just want him to be President again.

Unless I'm mistaken... (Article 12)

The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;

-- the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate
and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; -- The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed;

and if no person have such majority, then from
the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.

-- The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Here's the sad thing...

2. How many others in NY have done the same thing and were NEVER taken to task? HE WAS MADE THE EXAMPLE. Why? Because he's RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. That's why hay don't go afer Joe Blow. He's "little fish", while bagging the whale, would look great on your resume.

Kn> Unless I'm mistaken... (Article 12)

[... snip ...]

That dictates how the President and Vice President are chosen. not how CANDIDATES are chosen.

"Primaries" weren't the primary thing until about 1960. JFK had such overwhelming support with primary elections that he was able to get first ballot nomination at the convention. However in 1968, even though Eugene McCarthy won the most primary votes, Hubert Humphrey won the delegate count. Humphrey wasn't even on 17 of the primary ballots.

after the clusterfuck that was the 1968 primary, the modern primary era of "binding primaries" began. However, this is not "law" but rather rules adhered to by each party on the state and national level.

The DNC and the RNC are not government agencies. They can select whoever they want in any way they want as their candidate.

"The Robot Rule" is what binds delegates to vote for the candidate they were elected to support via the primary. (at least for the Democrats)
Rule 11(H): all delegates to the convention are "to vote for the
presidential candidate whom they were elected to support for at least the
first convention ballot, unless released in writing by the presidential
candidate."

I'm pretty sure that's why Biden posted a letter of withdrawl rather than just making a speech about it. (insert joke about Biden's inability to speak here)

No laws are stopping a political party from organizing a Caber toss to pick their candidate.

If members of the Democratic Party are upset with how Kamala Harris was chosen, they can express that displeasure in multiple ways, including voting for another candidate in the general election, by witholding donations (if they were planning on donating), letters, protests, etc.

Yes, this is the saddest part. Some have suggested that the Trump
prosecutions are just a side-show to keep us distracted from other, more
important things that are going on. This would have to be one of those
more important things.

Wasteful grandstanding. At what cost? People are already sick and tired of the dog and pony show. We can all see right through it. He needs to continue in order to "show face" ro his cronies. Quite frankly, as long as Soros is taking in air to his lungs, the madness will continue. If someone needs to take a permanant dirt nap, it's that crusy corpse devil of a man.

biden might already be on his deathbed. i predict after the election he will pass away 'in his sleep'.

people have shot video of a biden who is very very tall and they say he's a body double.

I would love for a re-roll of the primaries where a different Republican and
Democrat ran.
Dean Phillips versus Ron DeSantis. That would be a race of two men with
integrity than the other
three people. (Trump/Harris/Biden).

I would also. Lots of Democrats were hoping for a re-roll with an open
convention when Biden dropped out, but his turning around and endorsing Kamala
sort of shot that in the foot.

Does biden's endorsement even matter to anybody but the rabid democrats with tds? i swear someone is going around in a biden mask to keep up appearances. I'm sure after the election he will have 'passed in his sleep'.

there's this video on instagram where this guy is showing off a mission impossible style latex mask and it looks very real if you have sunglasses on.
that's what i think of when they show biden getting off a car and going
into an air plane.

It's already going bad for her. She's saying things that only appeal to the
most radical of the radical left. It's almost as if they are trying to make
her crash and burn in a spectacular fashion.

One of the things I've learned is to recognize the redirection tactics of the
Elitists. If they want to draw your attention someplace, it's because they
don't want you paying attention to something else. So I always start looking
for what they don't want me to see.

And the Ho's campaign is a redirection tactic.

For what it is worth, not long before the assassination attempt, Trump
requested that the RNC remove the anti-abortion plank from the party
platform. They did so.

That doesn't erase the recent past but it is an interesting move.

Unfortunately, she is polling well with Gen Z (who apparently see her as
some sort of "bumbling genius" whose mastery of the cringe moment somehow
makes her appealing) and is ahead of Trump in some polls.

So you are saying she won't run? Assuming she won't win is dangerous. 20,
or less, years ago most people would never believe that Trump or Biden
would ever be President and yet here we are. She could unfortunately be
the next "no way!" on the list.
