    I suspect the dems are going to wait until the primaries complete, then joe will announce he is dropping due to health reasons, then they appoint someone who will make the claim that they are going to save democracy. Because hey, democracy is all about party elites subverting the will of the people and installing who they want.

    Look at the last three Democrat primaries for examples.

    Democrats have been rigging their primaries for decades atleast. Remember Bernie Sanders? They had his delegates given to Hillary Clinton and they were livid including, Bernie Sanders. Then, he piped down, not saying anything. His supporters sued in court and the lawsuit dismissed. There are suggestions Bernie Sanders got paid which is the explanation why he suddenly became quiet. In Iowa, they changed the rules at the last minute to exclude one of the candidates they did not like from the caucus. Do not remember the year and candidates.

    Democrat primaries are structured differently than republican primaries. Going through Super Tuesday republican primaries become winner take all with the delegates, while democrats stay proportional with delegate allocation. I get you guys are t into specifics but it’s why democrat primaries appear to be closer contests than republican primaries.

    Something you all may find interesting is that Biden won the nomination in 2020 faster and by a wider margin than Obama in 2008 or Clinton in 2016.

    Former First Lady Hillary Clinton said she believes President Biden’s age is a “legitimate” campaign issue even as the commander-in-chief is under fire over a damning special counsel’s report accusing him of being senile.

    “I talked to people in the White House all the time, and you know, they know it’s an issue, but as I like to say, ‘look, it’s a legitimate issue,’”
