Catch a 22

[Manonthestreet]

There are numerous stories about how the party brass wanted a mini-primary, not a coronation, but Biden decided to nuke it. When he announced he was ending his re-election bid, he immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. If you’re wondering why Barack Obama and other top Democrats took longer, this wasn’t the plan—no one wanted Kamala. Pelosi admitted she wanted a lightning-round primary. That’s the primary reason, but there’s another one that’s predictable given the ethos of the Democratic Party: they were afraid to infuriate black women if someone other than Kamala won. Kamala's Deputy Campaign Manager Explains Why There Wasn't an Open Primary. Get Ready to Laugh.
Gotta say, thanks Joe, although I cant think of a Democrat with name recognition that would have stood a chance. Be interesting to see what happens to both parties as the old guard ages out.

but Biden decided to nuke it.

When the letter came out on TV...but biden had not addressed the nation that he was stepping down from the campaign...I told my brother...Biden didn't write that!

Now how the hell could biden come out & say his own administration sabotaged him? He couldn't!

When biden awoke from his nappy time to find he had stepped down he shoved a kamala up their asses!

They really wanted Pete Buttigieg to run for the president. His incompetence as mayor and as Secy. of Transportation proved he could reach his highest incompetent stature as #47..

So the party (Obama/Pelosi and all) forced Biden to step down and had no problem expressing their lack of confidence in him after the debate, yet they couldn't hold an open primary simply because Biden endorsed Harris. Not buying it.
It's amusing watching all those who without question fell inline now try an assign blame.

Obama's prob was Joe probably ha a a pile of dirt on him and since he is much older a scorched earth approach was not out of the question
