Is The Fix Already In? How Obama Takes Control Of The Party For The Long Term

Edward Klein has made a living the last few years writing about the long simmering feud between the Clinton cabal and the Obama loyalists and how they are the two main factions vying for long term control of the Democrat Party, with the undertone in his books being the personality clashes among them.

Whether the still angered Big Dog feeling he was slimed as a racist in 2008 or other instances highlighted in the books, it’s clear that the Obama/Clinton détente is solely for current political considerations and that the undertones have never gone away.

In a few days California might well ignite to a higher level (think Defcon rankings as a similarity) the internal competitiveness if a certain result ensues. An easy Hillary win pretty much seals the deal and much of the détente continues in the long term offset position until the general election.

But if ‘The Bern’ pulls the upset, and particularly if the margin is at least 3 points, the dynamic of the détente starts to change.

What no member of the national media wants to touch is that Obama holds ALL the cards here. He is much younger and will be around a long time and will be able to almost act as a shadow government due to the popularity the MSM has for him, regardless of whether it is a Democrat or Republican administration. He also has TWO shots at destroying the détente if he chooses to do so. Before the convention AND after the general election if Hillary! loses to Trump.

It’s really a simple calculation and it explains much of what the email/server scandal has done to the Clinton camp. Lost in much of the back and forth about the scandal is the simple fact that the server was set up to hide communications from her boss. The media can’t go there because it can’t be spun to Hillary’s favor. In fact, the attempt by them to keep the focus on ‘classification’ is the best hand they have to play, since the server itself has no slick answer.

But that doesn’t mean the Obama camp has not forgotten. And certainly has not forgiven.

So back to California.

If Bernie wins easily the drumbeat for a Biden rescue mission starts. Not that it wouldn’t be painful for the party. Bernie’s supporters are not going to lay down and let Biden glide in, but if it comes down to a Biden/Warren ticket then most of them can hold their nose and at least feel they are at least cementing their political gains if they win.

Watch for the first domino . . . DWS out as head of the Party. Should she fall then the super delegates can start to shift. Not necessarily to Bernie, but to an open position. A couple of ballots that don’t come to a nominee. Then Biden to the rescue.

Even a Trump win against a Biden-led ticket can be spun by the Obama side as being Hillary’s fault. No long term loss for them there. Go on to 2020 and consolidate the behind the scenes power by supporting whoever they want to work with.

Does anyone doubt that Barack Obama would sacrifice one election cycle to keep power behind the scenes? I certainly wouldn’t.

And then you have the ultimate get even. Obama gives the Justice Department the ‘wink and a nod’ to indict Hillary for the classification issue and maybe even a RICO charge on the Clinton Foundation. Between the November election and the New Year.

Kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of the Clinton legacy in the party. Remember, the whole 1992 campaign was to take control of the party from its furthest left instincts and the far left has never forgotten that. Destroy the Foundation and you completely take away the power base of the Clintons.

Game, set, match.

Barack Obama keeps control of the Democrat Party for a long time to come. And the only way that doesn’t happen is if Hillary Clinton is the next president.

But why would she feel any confidence at all knowing this Damoclean Sword hangs over her?

I don’t believe I have any argument with that pronouncement or action, if things really did get that wierd.

Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

You are most likely correct about that scenario never playing out. However, your argument about having only one candidate to vote for has never been tried in a presidential election.

The issue of those third party candidates could be ruled as un-electable; hence nothing more than an indulgence to an antiquated dinosaur democratic form from the past. Again, executive order and poof law of the land.

The Communist Democrat Party.

The merger was final in 1984, the last time the CPUSA ran a POTUS candidate. Ever since then they have endorsed the Democrat candidate.

So it is the Communist Democrat Party.

Here is proof of what I stated, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_USA#Presidential_tickets

That’s 59 states, according to Obama.

I don't like Obama. He may not even know how many states there are.

However, does the average American know ?

There are MORE THAN 50.
