Evidently all is not roses and sunshine in the Democrat party right now. Although it seems that Kamala Harris is the candidate, not everyone is thrilled. I don’t know if there will be a bait and switch at the Democrat Convention next month, but I am not ruling it out. Once you ignore the votes of all the people who voted in your primary elections, I suspect that you can do pretty much anything you want to at your convention.<\/p>\n
On Friday, The New York Post<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n There\u2019s buzz swirling within the Biden camp that the president\u2019s swift endorsement of Kamala Harris was his revenge on prominent party leaders \u2014 including Barack Obama \u2014\u00a0who pressured him to bow out of the race against his will, sources told The Post.<\/strong><\/p>\n Joe Biden, who said he was dropping out \u201cin defense of democracy\u201d<\/a> during his public address Wednesday, had been told by Obama to allow delegates at next month\u2019s Democratic National Convention in Chicago to decide a new candidate, a source close to the Biden family claimed.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt was Joe\u2019s big f\u2013k you,\u201d the source said. \u201cJoe said, \u2018If I\u2019m out, then I am endorsing her.’\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Talk among insiders is that Biden saw this as a final way to assert some control over his ouster.<\/strong><\/p>\n It is my impression that there are three camps in the current Democrat party–the Clinton camp, the Obama camp, and the Biden camp. Keep in mind that the Clinton and Biden camps both are not fans of the Obama camp. Also remember that the Clinton camp got a little closer to George Soros and his money and influence recently when Huma Abedin announced her engagement to Alex Soros, the son of George Soros. Speculation is that President Obama’s choice for the Democrat presidential candidate was Mark Kelly of Arizona. Kelly would have been a better candidate and might have had a positive impact for Democrats on the down ballot in Arizona.<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n According to a source close to the Biden family, prominent Democrats threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution and urge the vice president and the cabinet to remove Biden from office, the source said.<\/strong><\/p>\n The source said that the belief within the family is that Obama wanted to get Biden out of\u00a0the race \u2014 and an op-ed\u00a0written by George Clooney<\/a> in the New York Times,\u00a0asking him to step aside, was a part of that plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n Calls to the offices of Obama and Biden, as well as the Democratic National Committee, were not returned.<\/strong><\/p>\n Obama persuading Biden not to run for the presidency in 2016, allowing Hillary Clinton a shot at the Oval Office, has since been a sticking point\u00a0between the two men, according to reports<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHe was not encouraging,\u201d Biden later told the New York Times, referring to Obama.<\/strong><\/p>\n As for the race ahead, Obama has little faith in Harris, the source close to the Biden family claimed.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cObama knows she\u2019s just incompetent \u2014 the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance,\u201d the source said.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cShe cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n It is possible that the Democrat Convention will be very interesting. I don’t think President Obama gives up easily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Evidently all is not roses and sunshine in the Democrat party right now.
