I'm rooting for an open convention. In the short term is will look really bad to skip over Harris. But in 4 months that would fade.

Money wise, that may be difficult. There are some rules (I think) about transferring money to different candidates outside the primary winner and the running mate.

Have we (Americans) ever had an open convention where a presidential candidate was "chosen out of thin air"?

Hubert Humphrey, the eventual nominee of the Democratic Party. didn't participate in any of the Democratic Party Primaries in 1968. After Robert Kennedy was assassinated, his delegates were left uncommitted. It created a chaotic hellscape in Chicago.

That was the DNC with the riots? I never knew why there was the turmoil.

Was HH's nomination the match which lit the fuse?

I tend to think that the DNC would need Harris to be on board with that. Egos will come into play. I think Harris would rock the boat.

Maybe but what, exactly, is he claim to being the definite nominee? She was PICKED to be vp, not elected. Obviousness is not a legit criteria.

Think she has every right to not be passed over.

Yep. Regardless of what people think of her, she’s the VP. And as much as it pains me to think about this, she should be the POTUS right now. Biden should step down from office today! Meaning Kamala would be the leader of not only the party, but of this country.

DOJ Rejects outside groups’ efforts to FOIA Hur Tapes​


Jul. 19, 2024 – 08:26 – The Department of Justice is fighting efforts from several groups to obtain audio recordings of the interview former special counsel Robert Hur conducted with President Joe Biden last year, according to court documents filed Thursday evening. DOJ attorneys wrote that there is “no basis” under the Freedom of Information Act for the department to provide the recordings of Biden’s interview, an argument that comes after the department released the transcript of it in March.

That's an understatement. LOL.

Yes. Humphrey was a pro-war candidate, who supported LBJ's policies on Vietnam. As it turned out .... so did Nixon.

“The NYT reports on how the Democrats' Biden disaster is one entirely of their own making. Eight years ago elites like Barack Obama and David Plouffe pressured Biden to stay out of 2016 in favor of Hillary Clinton. "His friends made the case that he would lose — to Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders, and later to Mr. Trump. David Plouffe, Mr. Obama’s top political adviser at the time, sat down with Mr. Biden and showed him polling. To Mr. Biden, the message was clear: Mr. Obama wanted him to stay on the sidelines. So did Mr. Obama’s aides. And Mrs. Clinton. The grief over his son was real. But so was the feeling, according to several people who had conversations with him at the time, that he was being railroaded by people to whom he had been nothing but loyal for years. He deserved better, he told allies, and thought he would have proved them wrong if he had run."Clinton lost anyway. Now, this same caste of oligarchs and "experts" are back to boss Biden around again.Can you blame him for thinking they're a bunch of idiots?”

Interesting IF true.

I agree.

Luther posted earlier that we've been without a functional president for 8 years. If that be true, I'm not afraid of VPKH taking over. I may not agree with her but she is mentally competent.

Sure, I did..........the point I'm attempting to make is that "reasonable" people see the line being crossed at different times.

Same with Trump btw

It is not reasonable to say the line has not been crossed.

It could be characterized as convenient, or ignorant, or flat disingenuous - but not reasonable.

Sources vary on the fate of Pigasus. There is some speculation that a police officer ate him.[5]

The Chicago Tribune, on September 30, 1968, said that after Pigasus was taken into custody by Chicago police, they transported him to the Anti-Cruelty Society, along with a sow called "Mrs. Pigasus", and a piglet, all collected after being paraded by the Yippies as part of their demonstrations around the time of the convention. The swine were later transferred to a farm in Grayslake, Illinois.[14]

Five months after the nomination of Pigasus, during the inauguration ceremony of President Nixon, the Yippies held their own "in-HOG-uration" ceremony – for President Pigasus.

the piglet is rumored to be hog's grandpiggy and taught him to never trust the gov.
