Well, IF Obama suggests he drop out, and IF Bill Clinton says no, I guess we have a quandary at that hypothetical point,

I've seen a definitive statement from Clinton. Obama has yet to speak publicly about it.

I think its a good bet that Democratic voters will vote for the candidate who gets the convention's approval.

We don't know if they are right or wrong because they won't tell us what is going on.

We won't really know who is right or wrong about this until after the election.

Sounds like a great ticket. I don't think it would have a better chance than Biden though.

I think it's mostly Republican and Russian trolls and a handful of comments.
