As I already clarified, I was not referring to his formal selection by the DNC at the convention. That was your interpretation and I could see how someone might get confused and think that was a reasonable interpretation in the context of this thread about checking out of the news for as long as possible. Frankly I find it somewhat odd that your response to the discrepancy is to lecture me about what I meant rather than to do consider that your interpretation was wrong... particularly after receiving clarification. To spell it out more explicitly: "getting the nod" is a reference to having the backdoor/bigwig/advisory/party boss support to risk formally throwing his hat in the ring and make a run for it. vs say... deciding it would be best to sit this one out to allow Harris to run... or some scandal or interaction with Trump having taken him completely off the table.
