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?

the impression it would give of internal democracy

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.

Yep, it's happened five times (1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016).
