Sanders drops out, paving way for Biden
The Hill ^ | 04 08 2020 | Tal Axelrod

Posted on 04/08/2020 8:34:18 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, paving the way for former Vice President Joe Biden to win the 2020 nomination.

Sanders was unable to build on his early momentum in the race after wins in New Hampshire and Nevada as well as virtual tie in Iowa, going on to lose a string of states to Biden after the former vice president consolidated the support of moderate Democrats.

The departure marks Sanders's second failed attempt at the Democratic nomination after he came up short in his 2016 challenge against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The 2016 campaign did, however, vault Sanders to household name status after he cobbled together a loyal base of support from largely young voters who grew enamored with his progressive policies and efforts to push the party further left.

The DNC Strategy worked. Sanders the Marxist is out of the way and won’t be on a ticket they’ll be forced to campaign for.

Biden will not be allowed to run against Trump, they’ll remove Biden during the convention. Guaranteed.

That’s all this is about.

Zero chance Biden will run against Trump.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Bernie Sanders is OUT! Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday! This ended just like the Democrats & the DNC wanted, same as the Crooked Hillary fiasco. The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party, TRADE!

“What about Tulsi?
Isn’t she still in?”

Oh yeah. Well, they’ve been ignoring her. So why would the DNC Media change on that now?

Unless the DNC concludes that they have no hope of beating Trump, then they will waste Biden rather than burn a younger candidate.

Also, Biden as the candidate keeps Barr from indicting Hunter and Joe and the rest of the Biden corruption family.

Biden is a useful idiot playing a role. He also has dementia and remaining effects from his aneurysms.

A “brain-lift”

Reminds me of the old joke about a car so far gone that, to restore it back to running order, you’d have to jack up the radiator cap and drive a new car under it.

I doubt that even the democrat party is stupid enough to put Biden up UNLESS, they slip Clinton in as VP. Also, they might do some deal and put up Cuomo, or some other loser. Just a thought.

Agreed. Watch “the one” come out of the wood work now and try to save the day. You know, it wouldn’t surprise me if Biden nominated Obama as VP to unite the Rats.

So the only option left for the Democrats is to get Joe Biden to withdraw.

I still say there is a 50/50 chance that Joe Biden’s name will not be on the ballot in November.

The DNC will come up some sob story telling the LIF’s that Joe Biden for the sake of the world, he must have his name removed from the ballots.

Actually, the person they put up for VP will be the President. Biden won’t be making that pick.
