The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Al: Throwing open the convention sounds fascinating. Ifdelegates are bound to vote with the primaries, how might an alternate selection method come about? Superdelegates aren’t bound, so would they determine? Wher can I read about this?

If Biden were to die from a stroke or otherwise, then you could see a successful amendment to the pledging rules to allow them to vote for another candidate (the rules may already cover this). Bidenworld and his allies (including the far progressive wing of the party) have more than enough representation to keep that from happening against his will....but if he's passed away, there would be unanimity that the convention would have to pick someone else.

I have no idea how that would actually look in practice, other than to speculate that they would just try to run it like the old days - different rounds of voting until someone got a majority.
