If I remember right Bernie Sanders was WAY ahead in primary votes, and the Demoncraps couldn't have that. so they gave Sanders a beach house to leave the race. Then Clyburn directed all the blacks and other Dems to get behind biden. AND then the CHEAT. But, yeah, without Clyburn butting in, biden would have been at home eating ice cream and yelling at the couds.
