That’s a very good theory.
I would modify it a tiny bit, though. They are planning that no matter who he picks as VP. So the VP pick will be critical. If it’s the typical obscure person nobody every heard of from a state that Joe needs to win, that theory goes down the toilet. But if it is one of the top-ranked communists who have been running (or maybe Abrams, Brazille, Moochelle, etc), then you will be proven right.
I wonder how many Dem voters will know they are essentially voting for the vice president for President.
It’s not going to matter a bit because Sleepy Creepy Joe will never win the general election.
This theory is all wrong.
The Biden Consolidation is about A) keeping Bernie from accumulating a majority before convention so they can nominate Biden and B) picking the horse they want to lose with but who will provide the most benefit to downticket races.
No one running for congress outside the deepest blue zones is going to want to even stand on the same stage with Crazy Communist Bernie, but they’ll all happily appear with Sleepy Joe (while hoping he doesn’t say anything TOO dumb).
The campaign may kill him but that’s what they’re putting all their eggs in the Biden basket for. They know they can’t beat Trump but if they hold the House and win the Senate, they can impeach him again and this time, remove him.
Anyone who doesn’t realize this is all about getting rid of Trump and not about whichever idiot with a D after their name gets the nomination hasn’t paid attention for the past 4 years.
