A replacement would not be chosen by the government, but by the delegates to the Democratic national convention, a job which they were elected in non-governmental elections to do. The rules governing this process are not laws, but internal rules established by the Democratic party.
It's unconstitutional if they inject a non-elected person.
I saw that too. I even pointed out to my staff this morning that the Joe Biden at his campaign stop is NOT the same Joe Biden we saw Thursday. Weird.
It's not unconstitutional at all. It's up to the parties to decide how to nominate somebody, and the nomination conventions have rules allowing for new choices to be brought in if the lead candidates can't get enough support. The convention delegates are the ones who pick the nominee.
If the do, then why get him "hopped up" for a campaign speech that almost no one will see instead of the debate with 50+M live viewers?
That is nonsense. There was no provision in the rules to test any participant for drugs. Drug tests can't be involuntarily given to ordinary people. Do you think the Trump campaign was going to force the President of the United States to pee in a cup? Give me a break.
I wonder about the reasoning skills of some people.
Well, he had to stay clean on debate night, in case anyone asked him straight out! If he got caught in a lie, it could mean an investigation, leading to a potential, future impeachment.
Nobody is under oath at a debate. Otherwise Trump would have been struck by lightning.
Calling persons you don't like names and accusing others of making racist statements to me is in essence hateful and hypocritical since the person he supports did the same thing. Notice that two replies to me were from religious types one trying to make excuses and you question why it's hate but don't recognize it, we don't know these guys personally. All the information we have is second-hand. I'm sensitive to the name-calling because I've heard it for years and it goes both ways. White this white that from white people and I take offense; Fascist, Nazi, Hitler, to the people who you don't like, liars, shaming, and forgot deplorable to all who align with Trump.
Did Biden take the time-release version of his uppers by mistake? Because he sure got better throughout the night.
Well, then he was preparing himself for the *potential* of taking a drug test to prove himself clean... unbeknownst to all, it would only have been a temporary clean.
Maybe but it's needed don't you think? Coming from an independent point of view.
I feel like the Democratic Party is too entitled, as if this country can't bear to live without them, even though there are plenty of other parties.
The conditions of the debate were settled and agreed to by all parties well ahead of the debate.
I know Joe was under the weather on the night of the debate and cold medicine makes you groggy. Or because both my elderly mother-in-law and mom acted differently in the evening.
Well, we know his son smokes crack, so who knows what levels of drug use to expect from the Biden family. It's only natural to be concerned, considering he's our president.
Fear of getting caught perhaps? If they are and did get caught it could destroy/severely damage the democratic party for years if not decades to come.
