Since the age issue is out in the open...what would happen if the Democrat nominee dropped dead a week before the election? Can the Dems just appoint somebody? Or does his/her running mate become the nominee for president? I would hope that this scenario has been thought out...
I have no clue. The logistics of putting someone else on the ballot are pretty overwhelming. Perhaps technically you can elect a dead person, and then the VP takes over?
That's what I think I would happen. So should aged president pick the most capable running mate...it seems like the responsible thing to do.
I knew 2 pretty healthy 70-year-olds + who both dropped dead of a heart attack, one on the main street of my hometown, the other in a Tim Hortons doorway...it does happen, likely more than we think. A supervisor 56, walked through his front door had a heart attack, was able to call 911 but was likely gone before EMS arrived...so a plan should be needed. I think the voter deserves to know what the plan is from anyone running for president...to my knowledge no candidate running for president has died...but keep running late 70 and 80-year-olds it is bound to happen.

I love the internet....
If a Presidential nominee (or VP nominee) dies after nomination but before the election, the party picks a replacement who may or may not be the VP.
If the VP nominee dies, the Pres nominee picks a new running mate.

But that's not in the Constitution. Is that a DNC party rule? There were no such things as conventions originally.

That's a rule that was instituted by both parties after Harrison, I think, died after 4 days in office.
It gets real complicated if they die between the general election and the electoral college (boo) votes

In 2020, if it were the Democratic nominee, I would hope that any sane person not voting for Trump would vote for the Democratic ticket regardless of the front runner.

Hmmm. That's was what people said as 2016 election took place...and here you are with a Trump presidency.
Some of us were dumb and voted 3rd party, thinking the election was not going to be close enough for it to matter. (My state was blue, anyway, but still...)

I find it sad that we have to debate whether the right choice is to vote the most electable, or the right choice is to vote most aligned with your vision of the country's future, and use words like 'dumb' to describe voting with our consciences.
I also find it interesting that changing the system seems to be presented as a radically left behaviour represented by people such as Sanders and Warren, while in actuality, being underrepresented is a nonpartisan reality today. I don't know whether that's due to apathy, faithlessness, distraction, or lack of energy, but there doesn't seem to be a super-strong appetite for that in the country in spite of the tremendous impact.

I hear you...and do not disagree.
My vision certainly does not align with the Dem party...nor, at its current makeup, with the Rep party.
However, I "fought City Hall" with my vote last time, as a vote to show how little I cared for either of the main party options....I do not want to take the chance that the vote could "count" this time.
There is only one group that I abhor right now....and that is the mouth breathing, middle state, holster wearing, religious right, nutter who supports the Liar In Chief aka The Grand Wizard Trump. We must band together to stop the madness.
lets assume for a second Biden wins the nomination, and then wins the election in 2020....
I believe he will almost definitely be beat in the 2024 election
I'm pretty sure he will make a commitment not to run in 2024. I really don't see him doing that. I see him as a placeholder, a transition back to normalcy and then all political battles can resume.

that would be an error in my opinion and I don't think he would make that commitment.... he DEFINITELY won't state that in the primary or in the general... but he may make that decision going into 2024, but that would be well after getting elected, if he does indeed win the primary and general

It could assuage the concern of many that he is too old. I don't know that it would be a mistake. It's an interesting decision.
I'm glad Pete clarified, but it was as silly gaffe to start. I can't believe in 2020 we are arguing about vaccines. It's outrageous and akin to discussions of witchcraft 300 years ago. If you don't want to vaccinate your kid, fine, but no public schools.
