84. The DNC will pick our nominee if Bernie gets the nom but dies before 11/3.

Sun Feb 23, 2020, 09:28 PM

Feb 2020

The Party Chair calls a meeting of the National Committee, and the Committee members at the meeting vote to fill the vacancy on the ticket. A candidate must receive a majority of the votes to win the party's nod. https://teachinghistory.org/history-content/ask-a-historian/20431

But after that, it's Bernie's VP. And I am almost sure Bernie will not pick one of the other candidates as his VP.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

"Leakers"? SMC22307 Feb 2020 #18

In many states ballots were cast and mailed while he kept mum. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #13

Yep. Ballots in CA were sent out weeks ago. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #16

FL ballots were out too and our primary isn't until 3/17. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #17

Yes, because everyone has known for 3+ years Putin is interfering in our elections (nt) mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #33

That's different than knowing that Putin was specifically helping Bernie in the 2020 Dem primary. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #37

No, it's really not ... everyone already knows Putin was helping Bernie and IQ45 in 2016. mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #43

Where is evidence Bernie was told not to tell anyone Putin was helping him? SunSeeker Feb 2020 #59

i just posted my counter-argument. at length. in this forum ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #61

Response to your question further down the thread JudyM Feb 2020 #79

I like Natasha. H2O Man Feb 2020 #20

And the IC at any point could have chosen to release any declassified version of nformation Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #21

Actually, the IC H2O Man Feb 2020 #30

Good analysis. Thank you Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #31

You might find H2O Man Feb 2020 #35

Thank you. I had missed it and I'm glad you called mmy attention to it Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #42

Well said (nt) mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #34

Oh right, I forgot he said that! JudyM Feb 2020 #80

I realize if Sanders was briefed as a US Senator or if he were on the Intel committee Dennis Donovan Feb 2020 #57

No, Sanders could've denounced outside involvement in US elections the second he found out & decided uponit7771 Feb 2020 #73

Shouldn't the other campaigns have been warned as well? ecstatic Feb 2020 #22

Yes. Absolutely. Dennis Donovan Feb 2020 #62

Excellent point. Why are we hearing about this now DIVINEprividence Feb 2020 #24

Early voting began today in California where voting centers will be open everyday through March 3 still_one Feb 2020 #27

Don't you find it odd that Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee also didn't totodeinhere Feb 2020 #29

Nice try. Bernie failed this test of integrity and leadership and honestly. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #32

Aside from the MSNBC part, that's a perfectly logical question to ask ... mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #38

The same reason that Obama said nothing... it wasn't "his place" to say anything. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #49

So, in other words all this crap about ZOMG THE VOTERS NEEDED TO KNOW!?! mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #50

No. You know damn well it was Sanders' place to disclose the info. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #63

Give me a break. If he gets the most primary and caucus votes then he deserves to be our nominee. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #39

I do not believe it show "integrity" to accuse the Democratic party of... NurseJackie Feb 2020 #53

50 +1 wins not the most votes delisen Feb 2020 #56

Can anyone here give one good, legitimate reason luvtheGWN Feb 2020 #41

I can only guess, but premature disclosure of this information might have compromised an ongoing totodeinhere Feb 2020 #48

They didn't get the same briefing the campaign did Dennis Donovan Feb 2020 #44

Like medical records, this needed to be hidden from voters. PubliusEnigma Feb 2020 #36

I know, I can't believe how many Democrats in the Senate knew about it mr_lebowski Feb 2020 #40

As Nurse Jackie explained to you, It was BERNIE'S place to disclose the info: SunSeeker Feb 2020 #64

Thank you nycbos Feb 2020 #51

he could have made this much easier on his campaign... subana Feb 2020 #52

One just can't trust a candidate who just had a heart attack and won't release his medical records onetexan Feb 2020 #54

And we trust our IC shadowmayor Feb 2020 #55

What is our choice at this point??? Dennis Donovan Feb 2020 #58
