All of the writing on the wall indicates that the DNC doesn't want a white male nominee. It will be interesting to see what strategy they use to leave Joe out to dry. Will it be through not so benign neglect (Obama's non-endorsement), more #metoo hysteria, or just more digging up of Joe's more politically moderate voting record from 20-30 years ago?
He has some issues. Voted for the Iraq War. Voted to de-regulate Wall Street. Voted for DOMA. There’s lots there that they’ll hammer him with.
And I think you’re right. Before ANY of them announced, I always believed, and still do, that it will be Kamala. I agree they don’t want an old white guy so that leaves Joe and Bernie out. And even if Kamala loses, it sets her up again nicely in 2024.

I don’t believe so. They are just projecting that notion so the Dem base doesn’t get all wee wee’d up when the nom is a white male. They know they need a white male to beat POTUS. The Dem nom is going to be a white male. All the fawning over Mayor homo is partly because he still checks an identity politics “minority” box while being a white male.
