VIDEO: Did Kamala Become Nominee Because of ...Mark Halperin?

According to Mark Halperin the Democrats choose Kamala Harris to be their nominee even though they, and especially Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, did NOT want her to be the nominee. The Democrats, and Obama-Pelosi, were correct in their initial reluctance to choose Kamala as the nominee because she has had a HORRIBLE track record in the past as a candidate. The utterly dislikeable Kamala was such a poor candidate that in 2019 she dropped out of the presidential primary race BEFORE the Iowa primary. So why would they choose such as disaster of a candidate to be their nominee in 2024? According to Mark Halperin it was because the Democrats were under pressure NOT to prove him right again after he CORRECTLY predicted the withdrawal of Sleepy Joe Biden from the presidential race on the weekend that it actually did happen and the Democrats did not want Halperin to also be right about Joe Biden NOT endorsing Kamala.

Is this just a big ego trip fantasy by Halperin? I think not because the Democrats are just that childishly foolish as to want to deny the satisfaction to Halperin of being proved right once again so they chose Kamala just to show him up as well as to show they didn't plan a Kamala purge in advance. Remember, leading up to his withdrawal many Democrats who were urging him to leave the race were suggesting an open convention to choose a nominee which meant someone other than the inept Kamala. As a result we owe Mark Halperin a big debt of gratitude for inadvertently forcing Biden to choose an absolutely horrible candidate who is now sinking in the polls.

I think it was Dizzy Dean or Yogi Berra who said it ain't braggin' if you can do it and I believe Mark Halperin actually did it. Namely snooker (accidentally) the Democrats into choosing the worst possible candidate to face Trump.

The truth is that they didn't have a choice. As bad as Kamala is, the Democrats could not possibly have united around anyone else without even holding a primary. Hell, the only reason they picked Biden in 2016 was because he wouldn't fracture the party - not because he was a great candidate or anything.

She wasn’t even a good DA. Why would we let her be president?

2016? Or was it 2020?

Some black women threatened to not vote if they dropped Kamala, IIRC.

She became the candidate because Joe dropped out and she was the only one who could spend the $100M campaign cash already collected. I bet the DNC wishes they could revisit that decision.

Initially the reports were that Joe would drop out but would not endorse Harris. Then he did and that was the point of no return.

I’m betting that was Joe’s middle finger to Pelosi and those who forced hm out. He had the last word, if not the last laugh.

I think this theory is correct. The Democrats chose Kamala as the nominee because they did not want Mark Halperin to be right two weeks in a row.

We will probably find out that is exactly right after the election when books are written about this campaign. They were absolutely going towards an open convention UNTIL Mark predicted that is what they were planning.

By Grabthar's Hammer, you are correct! I meant 2020.

True. Campaign cash already collected had “her name “on the check” . Campaign legal papers and election filing and Campaign committees had her name already there. She could pretend to be a legal replacement very easily.

As important, she had the VP “title” and so was ALREADY “designated hair apparent”.

I remember about a year ago when the rumor was that Biden was going to dump Cackles from the 2024 ticket because she was so unlikable.

This was Joe Biden's revenge for the coup. Within half an hour of posting his letter resigning from the campaign, he posted his glowing endorsement of Cackles.

Obama stayed silent for nearly 3 days after that.

The Obama/Pelosi faction wanted a Whitmer/Newsom ticket, but to bypass Cackles after Biden's endorsement would be viewed as racist.

After they DEI’d her to VP, I don’t think they had much of a choice because to choose someone else would really, really tick off those black women voters.

If you ever look at the demographics of who votes Democrat, you’ll see that if they don’t get a very high percentage of the black vote, they can’t come close to winning an election.

Harris herself clearly played a big role in all the intrigue.

Biden stepping aside without stepping down seems like a compromise with the Obama/Pelosi/Harris faction.

No wonder Slow Joe seems to take pleasure in skewering her, its his legacy at stake.

They picked Harris because her name was on the campaign bank account.

They were also boxed into it because of their focus on identity politics. They couldn't afford to demote "the first black woman/black Vice President" after elevating her for 3.5 years.

Halperin simply got ahead of that parade and is now credited with leading it.
