This was planned from the beginning, starting with Biden’s press conference saying that he would not run. He could have done that with a press release from his office. Instead he has an announcement - from the White House - with Obama standing behind him , implicitly giving support to Biden.
Planned from the beginning?
You are saying the knew Clinton was unlikely to make it through the primary process and Biden was the intended nominee to begin with?
Doesn’t make much sense since it will piss off Clinton voters, Sanders voters who are already po’d will become even more enraged when they see their chance to defeat (maybe) Clinton ripped away causing them to in effect have to start over. And Biden is hardly untainted with his multiple episodes of inappropriate touching and plagiarism.
I have no idea what will happen of course but if Biden is not “hated” as much as Trump and Clinton at this time it is possibly because not much is known about him by those who would vote in a general election.
When Biden was showcased at the Academy Awards in January, I suspected he was being positioned to supplant HRC if/when the email scandal really blew up.
