DUH RUSH! You are half way there... they know they are losing this fall
The other half you haven’t seen yet, is they aren’t just throwing this fall, their intent was to throw this fall with a leftist, to knee cap the far left wing of the party...
I Believe their plan was to Take out Biden with the impeachment and get Warren (who was actually leading polls at that point)...
However they appear to have overestimated Warren and Underestimated Bernie.
Their plan was take out Biden, get warren as the nominee, get crushed and then use it to knee cap the far left of the party and moderate for 2024.... when they might actually have a shot at winning.
Bernie however appears to thrown a wrench into their plans... I Still believe the party big wigs know they have to moderate, and have to knee cap the far left if they ever want to win a national election and state wide races again.....
But Bernie wasn’t their planned player... he’ll definitely do far worse with the down ballot races than Warren... So if he winds up the nominee they will get crushed... but the damage will be far more than they planned, as it will almost certainly give the house back to Republicans and give them a few more Senate Seats as well...
So now they are in a rock and a hard place... Let Bernie be the nominee and knee cap the left, but the price will be far higher than just losing the White House, it will cause them huge losses in the house and Senate... of Bail on their plan and force Joe into the nomination and deal with the fact the far left will still have more power next cycle, but they won’t be in such a bad position in congress.
These factions are fighting this out now.... The entire Impeachment was part of this plan.. as was Pelosi’s little tantrum at the SOTU...
Problem is Warren was weaker than they though and Bernie stronger...
Bernie will do damage regardless, which is the upside for us. He will rant and rave and make the Dem party look stupid abd thuggish (even more than otherwise) and convince more people the best of the bad choices is to just stay home. That doesn’t just deny Presidential votes, it denies votes for all the downticket races. That’s what the Dems fear most, because it’s obvious they’re backing Biden as the best way to lose the WH while still (they think) winning the Senate and holding the majority in the House.
The best way to wreck those plans is to keep Bernie alive and well enough to keep poisoning the Democrat well right up til election day.
Meh. Fauxcohontas, Crazy Bernie, what’s the actual difference in their proposed policies? A socialist is a socialist is a socialist.
However they appear to have overestimated Warren and underestimated Bernie."
I think the problem was letting Butt get ahold of Obama's ex-Ambassadors SuperPAC and dead-heating Iowa with Bernie.
Biden should have gone to Obama the day Trump released the Ukraine transcript and said, "You and I need to sit down with Nancy and Chuck and make it clear NO gd impeachment; AND you need to get your angry Europhile f@gs out of Butt's back pocket."
Biden could have rolled into Super Tuesday having run 1st or 2nd in both Iowa and NH and then pivoted out of SC with Joementum.
