No doubt. What was ButtPlug promised? A free night at the local bath house?

Primetime speaking slot at the convention.

[AU72]

This dem convention will rival Chicago ‘68 for action.

These losers dropping out and endorsing Biden is just gonna infuriate their supporters and further anger the Bernie Bros.

The Democratic establishment has all the charm, grace and wisdom of the old Chicago Mayor Daley:

Any you missed aren’t worth mentioning.

Good job!

[real saxophonist]

(coached voice) Because I’ve got a place he can put that dog-faced horse... something.

[ScottinVA]

I totally agree.

The Dem machine probably told Butt Boy they will back him in a Senate run. Then in 8 years he can run again. Then MAYBE the country will be ready for a openly gay president.

[(ahem) there’s still 2 and 1/1024th other big names in the race]

Just a slight modification to your post...

Primetime speaking slot at the convention.

Bingo. 2004, anyone?

[Stravinsky]

Such a deep state puppet that one is.

Biden and Hunter are dipping into their slush fund?

[TigerClaws]

All to boost Biden to stop Bernie hurting Dems down ballot.

Pete got a book deal (the new legal payola), maybe a cabinet position, and backing for his soon U. S. Senate race.

Amy might have asked for Secretary of State job. Possibly VP.

This election comes down to the Rust Belt. Biden can compete for those votes.

[Kriggerel]

Shouldn’t the headline be:

Buttgi€g $€t to €ndor$€ Bid€n?

(would have changed the B to bitcoin, but I don’t have the symbol readily available. :P )

[Saltmeat]

Here is the Dem game plan. Stop Bernie at all costs. Get Biden to the convention. Then it will be neither Bernie or Biden. Those super delegates are good for something. The Bernie Bros. are going to wreck Milwaukee. It ain’t going to be pretty.

[DoughtyOne]

Are the demoⁿcRats incapable of seeing the "Gaffomatic" for what he is?

And then there's the hands on children, women, wives...

This is embarrassing.

[SharpRightTurn]

“ the moderate lane”

Stop the lies.

[Antoninus]

Biden-Butt 2020!

Bloomberg had better get cracking on getting his numbers up. He seems to think he can't criticize Biden, because he'll need Biden's delegates in a brokered convention. So he's upping the ante on criticizing Trump in his ads. I am very surprised that Bloomberg couldn't buy Buttigieg and Klobuchar out. Problem with his kid glove approach to Biden is that if he doesn't start stomping on Sleepy Joe, he will have spent billions making someone else the nominee.
