      No, there isn’t time to nominate if the Trump campaign challenges the nomination after the deadline.

      Lawyers and generals don’t interrupt opponents who are making mistakes.

        Can you just stop for a minute, look at a calendar, then try to explain to me how they can reschedule something from 8/7/2024 to 8/31/2024 on 9/1/2024?

          Again, the governor signed a law moving the deadline from Aug 7 to Aug 31. But the Ohio constitution says this law cannot take effect until September 1.

          So Trump lawyers can argue that the law doesn’t do anything at all, and on Aug 19 (when the Democratic convention starts) the deadline is still Aug 7.

            Well, I could go with what legal experts, the media, and political experts say…

            Or I could trust a random social media accounts interpretation…

            Give me a while to decide which is more likely to be a subject matter expert on this

                The one Biden appointed and who is openly going against voter wishes and saying we have to push Biden thru so he keeps the chair at the DNC?

                Well, then…

                /s

                Like, you realized your linked tweet is him trying to defend his move from every legal and political expert not part of the DNC is saying?

                I don’t think facts or logic is going to help anything here.

                  Voter wishes? We had a primary. Voters chose Biden.

                  If you trust Nate Silver and George Clooney over the Democratic party itself, you do you…
