I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.
I wrote this in 2018, and a similar dynamic is going on today. The DNC is an organization that Black Democrats have gained a lot of representation in and strength over. And media calls for Democrats to just have a do-over are a way of de-legitimizing all of that. www.vox.com/mischiefs-of...
Do they not realize that Trump is not going to debate the replacement? He will claim they didn’t win the primary and are illegitimate. We will be furious, the right will laugh their asses off at us, and we will be able to do absolutely nothing.
This is grade school gaming out of Trump.
It’s fine, because the magical unicorn 🦄 gifted debater nominated 75 days out from Nov 5 and a month before people start voting wouldn’t even be able to get on the ballot in enough states to win the electoral college.
I don’t think most of the people running their mouths have given enough thought to risks like this, or haven’t been creative enough gaming things out. they act like we just pick up the cardboard cutout of Joe, replace it with a different cardboard cutout, & everything else hums along unchanged.
