I could barely work the next couple days. Now you just get ibuprofen 800 which is much more reasonable. The only time I had Vicodin was when I had my wisdom teeth out. Ngl that shit was nice. Kinda scares me because taking it for a few days made me realize how easy it is to get hooked on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians run after losses all the time, and much like no one should think much of Beto running now, I wouldn't think twice about Abrams or Gillum running either.

Robert Francis also didn’t narrowly lose in a race that could have easily swung his way had there not been extensive voter suppression efforts happening.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 This reminds me of another thing that would happen under a national popular vote for president--money would flow from the national political parties into the state parties to organize and sign voters up, get out the vote, etc within each state. This is something that Beto should really have been pushed to do if you want to truly make Texas purple, and like gillium and Abrams are doing now.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 This is probably Bidens best shot at winning. And hell, if Abrams is VP (setting her up for 2024) I'd be on board with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 If Biden announces a Biden-Abrams ticket right out of the gate, as well as a promise to only do one term (even though we know he will run for a second), then I think it would be very hard for anyone else to challenge him. If the field was only 3 or 4 other people then it's possible that Sanders could take him on, but with 45+ other contenders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Side question - what happens if someone old like Biden wins the nomination but dies before the general? Is his name still on the ballot, and then Abrams just becomes President and then can appoint/nominate a new VP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd imagine that there would be an emergency convention and they'd have all the delegates vote again. And they'd likely vote for the VP nom to take over.

He'd stay on the ballot and if that ticket wins the VP becomes "Vice President Elect" and then President once sworn in automatically. The new "Vice President Elect" could in theory ask the Electoral College to name her as President and her choice as VP but that's Constitutionally iffy. Cleaner way would be to formally nominate a VP once in office and have the VP nominee to go through House and Senate confirmation. Before election day I imagine the candidate would name an unofficial running mate, that person might have to be voted on by the delegates depending on Party bylaws, but State ballot laws and the Constitution trump Party rules so the candidate could ignore the party completely.

Typically the dead person on the ballot would remain and a replacement would be designated officially after winning, and announced unofficially before.

Guest Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Pete seems genuine in a way that I find refreshing.Not in a “guy I’d like to have a beer with” sense, more so that he isn’t simply sticking his finger up in the air to feel which way the wind is blowing on a given issue.

I think a part of that is because he knows he won't (and can't) win. But that could actually help him win (or do better). It's like when someone who is hot doesn't know that they are hot...it makes them more hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
