Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Sinema is also against getting rid of the filibuster, holding it up, so Manchin's not the only one.
What's to say that'll happen? Rittenhouse was acquitted and Smollett found guilty so we're clearly not living in full clown world anymore. Republicans have already voted in lockstep to cockblock previous attempts at this.

Pretty hard, since they had it on good authority that Biden was going to wave a magic wand and make daddy government / the evil Maga Chuds pay for their loans instead. Which isn't happening now, heh.
Hoping it brings the entire damned system down. Remember Student Loan debt is some of that magic debt you can't bankruptcy out of. But if enough people just stop paying it? That should be an interesting day.

Okay, here's some comic relief for you guys.
Hillary 2024? Given the competition, she may be the Dems' best hope
(article)
There may be a rematch coming in the 2024 race for the White House. But we're not talking (God help us) Biden-Trump II.
Instead, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is an interesting prospect to consider when looking for a viable candidate, particularly if an 80-something President Biden decides not to seek a second term. And why would he? Just 22 percent of voters want him to seek a second term, according to a I&I-TIPP poll. It doesn't get much better when polling only Democrats, where just 36 percent want to see the president run again, with that juggernaut candidate named "someone else" coming in first with 44 percent support.
The Democratic bench is about as deep as the New York Jets' these days. Vice President Harris? She's at 28 percent approval, per USA Today. Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo? No longer governor and thoroughly disgraced. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.)? He had to spend major time and resources just to avoid being ousted in deep-blue California during a recall election earlier this year.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg? Not even 40 years old, and he has a supply chain crisis on his résumé. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)? Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)? Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.)?
If those are the options, why not Hillary? She's 74 years old, which is like being bathed in the fountain of youth compared to Biden. And she's still stunned — five years later — that she actually lost to Donald Trump. In fact, she sounds no different than Trump in constantly complaining about all the reasons she lost and that, well, the election was stolen by Trump and the Russians anyway. That type of rhetoric is a big no-no for Trump, but A-OK if Hillary (or Stacey Abrams) does it. Rules are rules.
"Are we going to give in to all these lies and this disinformation and this organized effort to undermine our rule of law and our institutions, or are we going to stand up to it?" Clinton recently warned regarding the possibility of Trump taking back the White House.
And yes, that's a real possibility: Several recent polls have Trump topping Biden in a hypothetical 2024 contest. Which is stunning considering that the Democrat received more votes last year than any other presidential candidate in American history: 81 million.

One more possible sign that Hillary is dipping her toe in the 2024 pool comes in the form of her bizarre decision to read her 2016 victory speech for something called "Masterclass." It was one of the most cringeworthy things you’ll ever see.
Here we have a former first lady, senator, secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee reading a speech for an election she lost. Of course, if The New York Times gave me an 85 percent chance of winning an election and I somehow lost to a guy who had never run for public office before, I’d have trouble absorbing it too.
But eventually one would think Hillary, more than five years later, would show some class. Some humility. Some maturity. And not talk about it so often anymore.
Instead, here she is, a losing candidate reading a five-year-old victory speech. And in case you’re asking if any losing presidential candidate had done anything like this before, the answer is no.
Since the election, Hillary has blamed her loss on misogyny, sexism, voter ID laws, Bernie Sanders, former FBI Director James Comey and Matt Lauer, along with dozens of other factors. (She hasn’t blamed neglecting to campaign in Wisconsin or deciding "I'm With Her" was a grabby campaign slogan.)
It’s a five-year public therapy session in broad daylight. And in a sane world, she would have been laughed out of the room for reading such a speech. But this felt more like a trial balloon in an effort to see if there is still an appetite for the Clinton brand.
Kamala Harris was supposed to be Biden's Plan B. She was supposed to be set up to be the first female president in our nation's history. But it's not working out for the VP, who is already seeing senior staff members jump ship at an alarming rate, presumably thanks to her poor polling.
Hillary Clinton always seemed to believe the mantle of "First Female President" was her birthright. And given how pathetic the field is on the Democratic side with or without Joe Biden, she may just get a second chance at winning the office her husband so famously made infamous.

Stop dooming. Those juries voted even with the media threatening to dox them and threats of riots from BLM. FFS, MSNBC tried to follow the jury van in Kyle's trial and the judge banned MSNB from the courtroom. People are getting sick and tired of the Dems bullshit. GOP still needs votes. So its in their best interest to cater to their districts.

Pritzker. Mother fucking pritzker. Why would anyone consider him viable? Illinois has people fleeing because of his jackassery.
Because Pritzker won in Illinois and the DNC doesn't have many other options.
My guess is the pendulum is starting to slip from Democrats grasp and will start picking up momentum. The tighter they grab the more it slips.

Its desperation, they have -nobody- even half-way runnable. Biden was picked out of pure desperation and a belief that a cabal of handlers could stabilize their issues and groom at least two presidents. Instead, they don't even have one and even less options than before.

I have a feeling the american people won't let it happen this time around, specially after their livelihood has been fucked with since day 1 of Biden's "presidency", not to mention the Arizona Audits confirming what majority of people already knew to be true.

He won his election in a landslide. He's totally electable... inside the city-state of Chicagonois.
But as Cillizza said, Pritzker is rocking hefty sums of cash; the DNC doesn't have to put itself in the red if they run him.

Exactly he is electable in a very blue state. But would he be electable outside of it? Is the question for me

Tulsi's career is looking pretty dead in general, let alone within the Democratic Party. Which is a shame because I wouldn't have minded her being the first female president. Certainly better than Kamala or Hillary.

Her only way to advance now is to become a Republican and now she has to go full Trump populist to do so instead of the RINO she might have planned for.

Never underestimate the lengths a confirmed cheater who can only win by cheating, will go to to keep winning.
Fucker's probably already fast at work having the DNC draft plans to steal the 2022 Midterms, especially after they underestimate the amount of cheating required to win Virginia, as far as them getting cocky and getting assblasted when the number of people voting against Terry was such that the Democrat ballot stuffing at the level they were engaging it, wasn't enough to stop a red tide from crushing Terry.
Biden and the other DNC elites are probably FURIOUS that the people in charge of carrying out the steal underestimated how much people hate the Democrats and their shit, so are probably already fast at work coming up with ways to ensure the Democrats don't get caught flat footed stealing the 2022 election.
