Considering the potential image disaster and other repercussions of changing a candidate in this way, and the impression it would give of internal democracy, do you think any other candidate has a chance of winning the White House in the elections?
Eight years ago trump won the presidency, despite most people voting for Hillary. How can anything give a worse impression of democracy then the winner getting fewer votes then the loser?
Edit: unless you're talking about the democracy within the democratic party, not within the US. In that case just pretend I'm going on a nice little side tangent about US democracy.
Bush II also lost the popular vote iirc
Yep, it's happened five times (1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016).
