Thank fuck. This man can go down in history as the savior of the Republic if he fucks off and endorses someone else.

    Because it’s a huge undertaking and there are different times for ballot eligibility in every one of the 50 states. When do you think the candidate would be chosen? This week? Ready in the wings already and on the ballots?

    These bureaucracies move at such a slow pace there was legitimate concern that BIDEN wouldn’t be on the ballot in time because the DNC wasn’t moving quick enough. That was months ago.

    Furthermore there’s the wheels of public opinion and moving those in lockstep with the speed it would take to create an alternative is something that takes so long that candidates often begin campaigning the year before the primaries.

    There is no other candidate and this is not a personal take but a logistical one. It’s too late.

        You know the states make their own rules about who’s allowed to be on the ballot, right?

          I’m sure the people not voting for trump will know the name of the person to write in after campaign advertisements are done dumping millions into states they won’t make ballot.

            Yes, giving up both the incumbent advantage and the “having your fucking name on the ballot instead of being a write-in” advantage is definitely a foolproof path to victory! I see no flaws in this plan!
