All evidence suggests that the White House and Democratic National Committee have no interest making the selection democratically.

Totally agree with your assessment and with Jonathan Alter's suggested plan. There is no reason for the VP to become the presidential candidate other than precedent, which is an important reason in my mind. Harris bombed in the 2016 debates. She always sounds phony to me, and a recent article by Lee Fang calls into question some aspects of her service as district attorney of San Francisco and attorney general of CA. I certainly hope that James Clyburn, James Carville and former presidents Clinton and Obama have nothing to do with the selection of candidates. Let the polls decide.
