#presidentialrace2024contiongencies As this year started, Zanny Minton Beddoes and the team at The Economist Magazine took out a crystal ball to predict what would happen in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Their conclusion was: "Anything can happen." That was their prediction. The Financial Times of London has come out with an excellent article on what would happen if either Joe Biden or Donald Trump dropped out of the presidential election. Donald Trump is 78 years old. Joe Biden is 81 years old. Both men have lived longer than the normal life span for a male in the U.S. The first contingency is one where one of the men dies or cannot continue the campaign before the nominating conventions. In this case, the nominating convention would take the form of nominating conventions from decades past. The delegates would be released from their commitment to Trump or Biden. There would be a floor fight to pick the nominee for president and vice president.
If one of the candidates was forced to drop out or died after the nominating convention, the party committees would vote to nominate a new candidate. This process would be a mighty succession battle with deep social unrest and uncertainty.
If Trump or Biden is actually elected president and then dies or has to drop out, the vice president would take over and be inaugurated as president. A new vice-president would be nominated and approved by the Senate. The Constitution is clear on this point.

Jesus christ for the 10th time. No one will read your content without paragraph breaks. Do 2-4 sentences at a good break point and cut it. Remember most are probably reading this on a phone. Even on a computer it is miserable to read.

The return key exists. Please use it like I just did.

So what?
I personally am not religious, but if I were, I would pray that Biden has a stroke soon and ends up in a chair drooling.
There is not going to be much "social unrest" because people fear the financial consquences of being in trouble.
1. guys who have jobs or positions don't want a criminal record.
2. welfare losers are afraid to lose their benefits.
Who's left? Young loser men who don't have children and food stamps, so they may cause some trouble here and there.

Economist, Financial Times - Mockingbird rags. Ohomenbot needs better inputs to scrape for its large language model.

The Dems end up with a candidate that wasn't vetted by the constituency in a primary. Which is why no one challenged him. The debates would have steered clear of the woke policies that agitate and disturb the right. That until this point most Dem voters claim is fake news.
The woke Lefties would have blown it up because they didn't debate DEI and tranny issues. It would have been a shit show and turned half of the base off. Also they would have had to draw hard lines in the sand on Israel and Hamas further opening the rift. The only safe thing they could have debated would be Ukraine making it seem like that's all they care about.

So yeah an unvetted Democrat presidential candidate is very possible for these very reasons.

AND that's why it happened. Not just to.protect Biden...although he clearly benefitted in that way.

They did the same thing to Bernie for somewhat similar reasons (although woke shit wasn't that big and deal back in 2016).
