This may result in the first time, that a corpse is elected president (because it's still preferable to Trump)

He is thinking of how thing happen in Russia. Where opposition figures are found dead inside the Kremlin's security zone and all camera have been wiped. It is called dying of Putinitis.Originally posted by Giancarlo View PostLast edited by Dinner; August 4, 2016, 08:48.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

For all of you Dims panicking, Hillary is up 10 in MI and 10 in PA.
The only route without FL is through WI. There is no route without FL, VA, PA, or MI.
Giving all the tossups to Trump puts him at 291. That includes Nevada and New Hampshire. As I keep telling folks, Hillary nearly has this nailed down.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I don't think a presidential candidate has ever died before the electionOriginally posted by onodera View Post
I'm guessing the vp nominee become the presidential nominee and picks a new vp nominee
or maybe the party holds an emergency conventionComment

I think the second.Originally posted by giblets View Post
Putin hates Hillary with a passion, so she her security detail needs to stay vigiliant. Putin is a very dangerous man like Erdogan. I wish Russia would just **** off.

Guess I was wrong
Not necessarily. Each party has its own protocol for this scenario, but in neither case does the running mate automatically take over the ticket. If John McCain were to die before the election, the rules of the Republican Party authorize the Republican National Committee to fill the vacancy, either by reconvening a national convention or by having RNC state representatives vote. The new nominee must receive a majority vote to officially become the party candidate. If Barack Obama were to die before the election, the Democratic Party's charter and bylaws state that responsibility for filling that vacancy would fall to the Democratic National Committee, but the rules do not specify how exactly the DNC would go about doing that. (Congress could also pass a special statute and push back Election Day, giving the dead candidate's party time to regroup.)Comment

Oh. I didn't know that and I studied this crap for several years lol. Maybe a detail I forgot. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, that was my major too and I didn't remember that either, but then again that was the 70's and I have forgotten quite a bit from that decade.

I was never to keen on American government and politics. I had to take classes for it in both my undergraduate and graduate degrees, but my focus was on comparative politics and international relations/law.Originally posted by rah View PostYeah, that was my major too and I didn't remember that either, but then again that was the 70's and I have forgotten quite a bit from that decade.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

For me, even though it was listed as poly-sci, it was technically a pre-law curriculum.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

That's interesting. I did a few prelaw classes, but not much.
Anyways it just gets worse for Trump... He is now 15% behind Hillary in a Marist poll.
What is worse... 79% of republicans say they will vote for him which is down. 90% of Democrats now say they will vote for Hillary, sharply up and this means she did indeed get many of the newly registered Democrats (many Bernie supporters).
So it is. 48% Hillary-33% Trump nationally. 45%-31% if you include the other two third party candidates. Disastrous for Trump. Hillary has never really had numbers this high in months.
Oh and Trump has collapsed in New Hampshire (Bernie supporters are jumping to support Hillary), Michigan and Pennsylvania. Also a new poll in Florida has Hillary ahead by 6%. What I now want to see is polls from states like Georgia showing a deadheat. This couldn't get any worse for Trump.
This looks like it is starting to stick and is a post convention bounce. The debates would have little impact at this point. Neither candidate is unknown. People know more than enough about both.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

I was right.
Georgia is now a battleground state.
The GOP must be ****ting itself. The state has quite a few electoral votes too.
Oh and look up who was the last democrat to win Georgia... Someone you know quite well.Last edited by Giancarlo; August 4, 2016, 17:28.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
