The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

{{ Leave aside that it's exceptionally unlikely that Biden would drop out. And that it's exceptionally unlikely that if he did drop out, he wouldn't tell his delegates (who are all Biden loyalists) to vote for his own chosen successor (which would almost certainly be Harris) - that he would allow a true "open" convention.

If he did do that (which he almost certainly won't), the result would be a bloodbath. Not a quick "let's all rally round for the greater good" anointment of a replacement candidate. }}

Washington Post columnist Matt Bai thinks that an "Open Convention" could give the Democrats a Reality TV Show the equal of the Trump Circus, a Hail Mary pass in an otherwise losing situation.

America loves "Unscripted TV", that's how Trump won the first time.
