The Latest: Caroline Kennedy endorses Biden amid focus on NH
The Associated Press ^ | February 4, 2020

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Former Vice President Joe Biden has picked up the endorsement of Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late John F. Kennedy.

As the Democratic presidential hopefuls turn to New Hampshire, Kennedy called Biden the party’s “best bet to win the White House, keep the gains we made in the House, and put the Senate in play.”

The former ambassador to Japan announced her decision to endorse Biden in an opinion article Tuesday in the Boston Globe.

The endorsement comes the day after Iowa’s caucuses, which ran into technical problems that resulted in delays in results being released.

There’s something about that I can’t get out of my mind and it’s specific to the wording Obama used when talking to Biden about his candidacy.....”You don’t have to do this, Joe”. (As reported by all the leftie propaganda outlets). That seemed a funny way to counsel him against running - as if there was a compelling NEED for Biden to run.

It was other people who were saying Biden “needed” to run. Maybe Joe heard it so often he came to believe it, but I don’t think he had a need to be president gnawing away at his guts. If he did he would have run in 2004, 2008 or 2016.

There was.

The Biden Purpose is Finished – Watch How Fast He Plummets…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/02/01/the-biden-purpose-is-finished-watch-how-fast-he-plummets/

Excerpt from the link:

Ukraine in general was an operational issue, an operational risk, and also an opportunity. Look at the timelines. Graft and scheme; a background investigative story starting to blossom; and then a 2019 Ukraine election. Biden steps into the race immediately after that outcome… while a non-endorsing Barack Obama says “you don’t have to do this Joe”.

I contend that Impeachment 2.0 was contingent upon Joe Biden running for office. Why? Because without Biden as a “candidate” the entire premise of the impeachment narrative: “president Donald Trump investigating his political opponent”, doesn’t exist.

Impeachment 2.0 was centered around a predictable Trump administration Ukraine investigation; much of which was likely being stirred by the coup plotters themselves; and was dependent on a political opponent. Hence, Joe Biden running for office was needed.

“You don’t have to do this Joe”…. Indeed.

The crew creating impeachment hoax 2.0 needed Biden, much in a similar way the same crew needed Robert Mueller for impeachment hoax 1.0.

Factually, ironically, and perhaps purposefully, both of the figureheads have some similarity. Two old men; past their cognitive prime; doing something neither fully understood in the background; but both loyal to the overall “RESIST” ideology. I digress.

Why rush the process? Biden was never a viable candidate, but the effort needed Biden presented as the top viable candidate for the scheme to work. In essence, Biden was always a ruse for rubes.

And now that Biden usefulness and purpose is over; just like it was on the day Mueller testified. Watch, without the astroturf support, which includes participatory narrative engineering by the media, Biden is going to drop like a rock.

You might say “poof”…

Poof. https://t.co/ar2mv3Y36h

Former President Obama is reported to have told Biden in 2019: “You don’t have to do this Joe”….

Joe should have listened.

No-one cares about Joe.

Very interesting. Assuming this is what was going on behind the scenes, it would seem the Dem party is fractured into opposing camps. The Clinton camp and the Obama camp, with Joe Biden being used as Stretch Armstrong in the middle.

The Clinton Camp is definitely active ... just look at how the DNC is packed with Clintonistas. Barney Frank is co-chair of the rules committee - he purportedly hates Sanders. I thought I read that he’s the one who appointed John Podesta (the Bernie Bros are screeching over that one) plus there are other Clintonistas heavily involved.

As for the Obama camp, I’m not sure who he wants to see - Kamala is out & I think I heard that’s who he favored. He’s certainly not into Bernie or the rest of the “white people” running. He may have some interest in Mayor Pete, but I would think that would be more hot tub related rather than political .... [snark].

LOL....yes, I’m sure any interest he has in “Peter” is purely on a personal level. It’s all quite interesting. Van Jones once proudly proclaimed that in order to bring America to the liberal utopia they envision (hallucinate about), it would need to be destroyed - top down, bottom up. It would seem they overlooked the possibility that the plan might not ever get beyond the party, itself.

I wonder who else is in the Republican tent that can beat Biden. I mean let’s get serious, with Caroline Kennedy’s endorsement, Trump is toast. /s/

Seriously, I bet even the most diehard rats could care less about his endorsement.
