Elizabeth Warren is no longer running for President. I am not sure who she will support–I suspect it will be Joe Biden. That is because I think she wants to be in the good graces of the party heavyweights who are supporting Biden. The Democrat primary is now between Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. It is interesting to me that both are blaming President Trump for everything that is wrong with Washington–they have been there more than forty years and he has been there three.<\/p>\n
Yesterday Accuracy in Media<\/a> posted an interesting article about what is going on behind the scenes in the Democrat primary.<\/p>\n The article notes:<\/p>\n Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) claimed the 2016 Democratic Party primary was rigged in favor of his opponent, Hillary Clinton. President Trump made the same claim on behalf of Sanders, especially after the coalescing of moderate Democratic Party candidates behind former vice president Joe Biden.<\/strong><\/p>\n President Donald Trump told<\/a> the press, \u201cI think it\u2019s rigged against Bernie.\u201d He said that Sanders is not out of the race yet and could \u201cpull through\u201d and win the nomination in the party\u2019s convention. The president previously tweeted<\/a> that the Democratic Party was \u201cstaging a coup against Bernie\u201d on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n …By all appearances, the timing of Buttigieg and Klobuchar exiting the primary race was unorthodox because the Super Tuesday primaries were taking place within 72 hours. Neither candidate indicated that they would leave the race after the South Carolina primary election.<\/strong><\/p>\n Additionally, news reports said that Buttigieg suspended his campaign after speaking with former president Barack Obama, a Biden ally. NBC News said<\/a>, \u201cThere appears to be a quiet hand behind the rapid movement: former President Barack Obama.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Although it cannot be proven that the Democratic Party primary system is rigged against Sanders, there are indications that the party establishment is working against Sanders\u2019 campaign. It also does not help that the media will not publicly question the theory that the party establishment is working against Sanders. For example, last week, NBC News claimed<\/a> Sanders \u201c\u2019rigged\u2019 the system against himself.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The media was dishonest in its news coverage because it failed to emphasize the behind-the-scenes workings of the Democratic Party establishment to coalesce around Biden and hamstring Sanders. It cannot be proven by conjecture and news reports, but the coverage trends do not favor Sanders\u2019 viability as a candidate fighting an internal battle against the party establishment.<\/strong><\/p>\n I am having trouble believing that the media is unaware that Joe Biden is a horrible candidate. The only reason for having him be the candidate is to prevent Bernie Sanders from being the candidate. This is flawed logic–if Bernie Sanders is denied the nomination again, I doubt his supporters will vote at all. Young voters don’t have a great voting record to begin with and having their candidate denied the nomination unfairly might easily cause them to stay home. I really don’t believe that when all is said and done that Joe Biden will be the candidate. I am suspicious that someone will step in during the convention and take the nomination. I can’t imaging how that would happen, but Joe Biden seems to be so mentally incompetent that I can’t imaging putting him on the ticket. Can you picture a debate between Joe Biden and President Trump? Do you remember Admiral Stockwell?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elizabeth Warren is no longer running for President.
