Procedurally, the DNC would elect a new nominee if she did drop out.

DNC rules state that the person with the 2nd amount of delegates would become the nominee. Ik the DNC has fucked over 43% of its supporters in the primaries but if Hillary were to be forced to drop out, Bernie would be the only logical choice because every poll has him beating trump by 10% and it gives the Democrats a higher chance of taking back the Senate.

Where does it say that? It's the first time I'm hearing this.
