Obama blamed for election loss after ‘pushing Biden out’ of White House

Barack Obama has been blamed for the Democrats’ election loss after “pushing” Joe Biden out of the white house.

The outgoing president believes he was forced to step down from the race to challenge Donald Trump by Mr Obama, sources say.

“There is no singular reason why we lost, but a big reason is because the Obama advisers publicly encouraged Democratic infighting to push Joe Biden out, didn’t even want Kamala Harris as the nominee, and then signed up as the saviours of the campaign only to run outdated Obama-era playbooks for a candidate that wasn’t Obama,” a former Biden staffer told the Politico news website.

There is a sense that Mr Obama, who once brokered a deal to install Hillary Clinton as the Democratic candidate to face Mr Trump in 2016, has contributed to their party’s last two defeats, Mr Biden’s aides also told CNN.

‘Biden dropping out of race was wrong decision’ Mr Obama started quietly manoeuvring to pressure Mr Biden to drop his bid for a second term in office earlier this year amid questions over the president’s mental fitness.

Sources said Mr Biden’s aides feel this was the wrong decision, just as when Mr Obama pushed for Mrs Clinton to be given the Democratic nomination.

It wasn’t just Obama. Pelosi kicked old Joe to the curb also.

In my opinion the the Obama coalition is gone. They have to put the crazies away like they did during the Clinton years. Obama unleashed them. When he was elected.

Obama is an angel of death

He has destroyed a dozen countries around the world, and has done his work on the USA too

They're in charge of the Democratic Party. So I do not see that changing in the next four years. They'll just double down.

Biden was forced. The night of the debate, just after the debate, Joy Reid said on live TV, that she had just hung up re a phone call with Barack Obama, who said to her (words in effect:) Biden is out.

Then she looked at the camera, and her face "said," 'Oops.'

Jeb Bush and the Bush Dynasty spent $115 million and Trump destroyed them

The Clinton machine spent $1.2 billion and Trump destroyed them

Obama’s machine spent $2.1 billion, plus $10s of millions of dark money, illegal campaign contribution in kind and about $5 billion in favorable coverage illegal campaign contributions in kind by the Legacy media and Trump destroyed them.

Trump has destroyed both sides of the US political oligarchy that ran our political system since 1988

Avoiding a Jeb Bush nom, imagine where the GOP party would be today if he got the 2016 nom. I think we’d have not seen the White House 3 election cycles in a row. Dead serious.
