    Seems all but impossible they’ll switch candidates now. There’s not a mechanism for it. It would have to be something like Biden having a major medical issue or dying.

      Democrats can name anyone as candidate at the convention in August. Biden being the candidate isn’t official yet.

      Those don’t seem implausible based on my watching half the debate… Biden was struggling to get anything out(and it wasn’t just stutter, he seemed to not be in the room part of the time) and trump just vomited lies and non answers constant

      That is technically a mechanism. I’m wondering if Biden, Trump, or both experience some incredibly bizzare…accident…before November.

      Idk if it even needs to be complicated. With Biden it could be every bit as simple as “Oh wow, look, he died in his sleep. NEXT!”. He looks rough. Wouldn’t take much.
