Officially the reason that the DNC is going with a ‘virtual roll call’ for the Biden nomination is the issue in Ohio. But Gov. DeWine has offered to quickly pass a bill to make sure that Biden will still be on the ballot.
The DNC’s decision to switch to a virtual roll call may be exploiting worries about Ohio, but like the rest of its campaign decisions has more to do with locking in the nomination for Biden while avoiding a floor fight.
Most people refused to believe me when I told them that Biden would run or the party would nominate him. Most people I talk to still believe that Newsom (or even more implausibly Michelle Obama) are going to swoop in at the convention. And while nothing is absolutely impossible including Biden being replaced by Alf, if that were going to happen, it likely would have happened already. Democrats had plenty of time to get it done.
A completely panicked convention move isn’t impossible, but it would more likely come from leftists trying to force more concessions than from a motivated party coup. And that’s what this is trying to head off.
If the party or major power players wanted to replace Biden, they’d do it behind the scenes, they would strip away his insiders and aides, communicate to them that their careers will be over unless they tell their boss to step down, and then there would be an official announcement that Biden’s health has taken a turn for the worse. It could still happen, but for now there’s no sign of it.
Biden may be out to lunch, but his people are in control of the DNC (even if not to the same degree as Hillary’s people) and they are going to nominate their man even if he has to be on life support at the convention.
There will still be protests and disruptions at the convention, but with the virtual roll call, it’ll all be theater that will feel hollow and impotent.
No, Michelle Obama isn’t sweeping in at the last minute. Believe it or not, this is happening.

Obama doesn’t care who the nominee is because he is confident he can steal the election once again and he will get his fourth term.
Lawrence says
Indeed, Why replace Biden when you get everything you want anyway and all the negative feedback falls on him not you?
Marek says
Exactly, Nicely put.

Rich Kozlovich says
It was clear after the SOTU address. ….. insane as it was to a normal mind … when the party leaders, and their myrmidons in the media raved how great it was, from that point it…..Biden was the nominee, period! And all this silly speculation about others taking it away from him made me wonder if these media nitwits and their nitwit contacts were operating like the English solicitors of old. They were paid by the word.
D3F1ANT says
They think Biden is going to debate Trump!? LOL! He can’t even face the members of his own party in-person!
Jeff Bargholz says
He can’t even look in the mirror without shitting his pants. Weak ass old man. I guess I would do the same if I were as ugly as him.
That will never happen, though. I’m just too handsome.
RAM says
Next step is a virtual Biden. He lacks I, so AI is a logical move.
SPURWING PLOVER says
The Democrats want to eliminate all the Competition and have all of America under their total Global Control

Moochin Moochelle Obumbler is a man.
Jeff Bargholz says
She has a bigger dick than Bareback, that’s for sure. Not that that’s saying much. We’re talking centimeters, not inches.
Keith R Turner says
Why would Ohio Gov. DeWine change the law to help the Democrat’s when they were to stupid to figure out when to hold their convention?
If the shoe was on the other foot they would not give two shits about help the Republican’s.
Gov. DeWine needs to go!
Francisco says
Because is another “two wrongs don’t make a right”, “be the better man”, pussy. Exactly the kind of soft puke that populates GOP “leadership.”
Daniel Greenfield says
true enough
Ohio is pegging this to the minimum possible ask, no foreign money for propositions, but even that’s too much for the Dems
Raymond in DC says
Worse, Democrats tried to get Trump kicked off state ballots. So Republicans owe them no consideration.
BLSinSC says
HIghly doubtful that ALF would be taking biden’s place! ALF was not a DEMOcrat – he had INTELLIGENCE and COMMON SENSE! Now he’d eat a cat if he had the chance, but subbing for Joe would be beneath him!
Daniel Greenfield says
good point, also Alf didn’t eat CFCs
Jeff Bargholz says
There is nobody else for the D-Bags to run. They’re stuck with Tardmo Joe.
We’ll see if the massive D-Bag vote cheating can beat the Trump Tide. I figure it will. and America will disintegrate.
