With the alarming amount of support behind the idiot Bernie it looks like the dems are the ones who will be trying to pull together a fractured party.



I would assume that neither party officially submits the name of its candidate until after the conventions. If that's the case, the Dem convention would seem to be the scene of the upcoming ambush.

Yes, after the conventions, the parties submit the names of their nominees to the various state officials in charge of the elections.
At that point the countdown begins for the states to get ballots printed and election materials printed.
I believe that Texas is first and their cutoff is one week after the end of the convention. Many others follow closely after Texas.

So if it is to be done, it must be done close to the convention end. That is why the pundits say that the convention is the magic cut off.
Similar constraints restrict third party candidates.

Down in the White House basement, they have already hauled the cases of Bud Lite out of Joe Biden's little room. Dressing him up in a suit and tie to look presidential. They are having trouble with the Slinky. He's like a dog with a bone. Won't give up the Slinky.

If I was Bernie, I wouldn't take this lying down. I'd raise a real stinker at the convention if the DNC try to swap Biden or anyone else in. I'm the runner up. If the witch is disqualified, I should be the one ascending to the DNC throne.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was supposed to have turned over all work-related emails to the State Department to be released to the public. But an agency audit found at least three emails never seen before - including Clinton's own explanation of why she wanted her emails kept private.

After 14 months of public scrutiny and skepticism over Clinton's motives in keeping her emails secret, new questions emerged Thursday. They centered on her apparent failure to turn over a November 2010 message in which she worried that her personal messages could become accessible to outsiders, along with two other messages a year later that divulged possible security weaknesses in the home email system she used while secretary of state.

The Clinton campaign has previously denied that her home server was breached, but newly revealed emails show an aide worried it could have been compromised.

[...]

Abedin was the aide who authored the key email in November 2010 that provoked Clinton's concerns about outsiders obtaining her personal emails. After the State Department's computer spam filters apparently prevented Clinton from sending a message to all department employees from her private server, Abedin suggested that she either open an official agency email or make her private address available to the agency.

Clinton told Abedin she was open to getting a separate email address but didn't want "any risk of the personal being accessible." Clinton never used an official State Department address, only using several private addresses to communicate. Abedin, Mills, Sullivan and Reines all also used private email addresses to conduct business, along with their government accounts.

Two other emails sent to Abedin were cited in the inspector general's report, but also did not turn up among the emails released by Clinton. Those messages to Abedin contained warnings in January 2011 from an unidentified aide to former President Bill Clinton who said he had to shut down Hillary Clinton's New York-based server because of suspected hacking attacks.

In response, Abedin warned Mills and Sullivan not to email Clinton "anything sensitive" and said she would "explain more in person."
