They don't have to nominate him. They have a choice. There could be emergency meetings scrambling, and effort to save face. This is a choice and it's a bad one except as a cynical and increasingly desperate play for power.

@futurebird That's why I tell #bluemaga to try to work on their #maga friends and family instead of beating up on Arab and Muslim Americans in the #abandonbiden camp. The #gqp has a pretty easy choice to make. For some of us on the left, supporting #genocide is a non-starter. If you want to lower the stakes, then lower the stakes.(I say this, of course, knowing they'll never do it, so it's #WestAbdullah2024 for me) #uspol #uspolitics

@futurebird sunken costs fallacy, misplaced pride edition. They don't see replacing him as "saving face", on the contrary, it would be admitting being wrong, for so long, and in such a dramatic way.They also know it would garantee defeat, because it would lose them 30% of the base, at least, as he'd probably run as an independant and they'd vote for him.They don't want to confront their mistakes, they want to get away with it, whatever the cost to others.They have a shot at that with him.
