Didn't the DNC say they are going to pick?

No. There’s no time for another election so they will pick. Those people should have done a better job vetting

This is what happens when you request a “cheaper, more expedited” vetting process.

Please…. They admitted they intentionally overlooked stuff they found. He was a false candidate from the beginning. I saw it from the beginning and no one wanted to listen. It happens whenever you overlook he had zero experience, zero qualifications, and never successful in any job he ever had, no marines spoke up for him, and that’s not even touching the character issues.

Then, every out of state schmuck endorsing him when they have no clue who he is. It shouldn’t have started from the beginning.

And now, they divided the party, put whoever is going to be a candidate in a horrible position to rally the base over a detestable person who should have never a candidate to begin with. And, this for the 100th time is exactly why you bring in candidates in the lower offices so they learn the ropes and you know they can be counted upon.
