Of course, but if you're going to pull a switcheroo you want to give it a veneer of legitimacy.
i feel like they'll pull the rug when there is almost no time left and the urgency of the situation will plow voters into voting for Newsom with very little of his dirt being aired
You mean like in 2020 primaries?
Yes, exactly. They didn't remove Bernie from the options and declare Biden the nominee, they coordinated a drop out/endorsement from all the candidates who would take votes from Biden and then pushed him as the "responsible" option though the remainder of the primaries.
Basically, they got people to actually vote for him in the primaries via behind the scenes ratfucking. They didn't just say "surprise!" at the convention.
Yeah but if thet do that then they might win and not be able to use the Republicans to discipline their base. That will teach the rabble for being ungrateful and antisemitic!
