A) Biden being the Democrat nominee is purely organic. There are no alternative plans for another candidate. The Tara Reade ordeal caught the Democrats off guard.

B) Biden being the Democrat nominee is purely organic. There are plans for an alternative candidate IF things go south. The Tara Read ordeal caught the Democrats off guard.

C) Biden was planned to be the Democrat nominee. There are plans for an alternative candidate IF things go south. The Tara Read ordeal caught the Democrats off guard.

D) Biden was planned to be the Democrat nominee. There are no plans for an alternative candidate. The Tara Read ordeal caught the Democrats off guard.

E) Biden being the Democrat nominee is purely organic. The Trump campaign knew he had a past and waited to reveal it once Biden became the nominee catching the democrats off guard.

F) Biden was planned to be the Democrat nominee. The Trump campaign knew he had a past and waited to reveal it once Biden became the nominee catching the democrats off guard.


G) Biden was planned to be the nominee because he can easily be disposed of in the name of health or his perverted past. The democrats have a surprise and want to wait until the last minute to reveal who it is so the Trump campaign can’t prepare.

Biden is the Democratic nominee solely because the establishment is terrified of the socialist wing of their party, as the true believers may actually threaten the lives of luxury Democrats claim to be against.

B then G. They didn't really want him (few immediate endorsements at the start of his campaign by the ruling party/Obama camp) but he outlasted the field and was seen a 'sensible' choice. Then, his deterioration got out of hand. Now, they have to act and it is in their best interest to wait.

G.

sHitlary has been scheming. When it was clear that she could either replace Joe as the nominee in some sort of brokered convention OR be the VP and then have Stinky Fingers Joe removed either through the 25th Amendment (he clearly has dementia) or through impeachment proceedings (Bursima), she put the plan in place.

sHitlary WILL either be the Dem nominee or the VP choice.

Whatever plan gets Biden the Democrat Party nomination. That's the plan I believe in.

They had to dispose of Bernie. Biden was the only declared candidate with the stroke necessary to do so. Now he’s expendable.

I truly believe the DNC plans to ride out Biden until around early September then either Rodham, or Michelle Obama will be brought in to save the day. I had a pretty profound moment of clarity today about me getting upset about American politics. I’m pretty embarrassed about how mad I get over something that will not change one goddamn thing about my life. No matter who is where in our nations political system, I will be the same shite bird I’ve always been. It’s absurd for me to get upset about any of it. Having said that, I do truly believe 85% of the American news media and 70% of democrats in general would be willing to kill their own children to get rid of Trump. I’m not using hyperbole here I’m serious. I was doing great avoiding the news and politics in general until this virus hit us. I hadn’t given any of it a single thought for months.

H) Anybody but Bernie. Biden was never planned, but as the primaries went on he became the only person that could keep Ol' Bern out. So, Biden "became" the plan. However, the Democrats were caught off guard by how far gone he actually is, AND were caught off guard by Reade. They have now created alternative candidates that will all be hail marys.

H) Biden was the best alternative to Bernie for the DNC and establishment types. The long-term plan was to control the VP pick (which he has somehow muddied by unequivocally pledging to pick a woman and increasingly implying it will be an African American woman, whether he promised that last part to Clyburn or the Obamas, I have no idea).

He ran so poorly (as he usually does), despite the road being paved solely for him, they had to pull out the big guns to torpedo Bernie at the last minute.

The Tara Reade thing was brought back up by Hillary's people because she either wants to be the VP (and therefore backdoor her way to the White House) or wants to be the brokered alternative to Biden without the strain of a primary.


The Republicans and Trump's campaign have NOTHING to do with the Reade allegations. The Dems have known about Reade since Biden was vetted for VP in 2008 and don't think anything of it, which is why the press hasn't touched it until very recently.

This is a push from the shadows by Hillary just as birtherism was created by her primary campaign in 2008.

I love the Bern but have no fear Freaux, the wealthy people in this nation will NEVER let an avowed socialist be POTUS. I have a better chance of having coitus with Elizabeth Hurley than a socialist becoming your president buddy.

(A)

I base this opinion on 2 guiding principles, which are true more often than not:

1) Don’t attribute to conspiracy that which more easily can be attributed to incompetence.

2) When in doubt between two options, bet on the DNC to make the wrong choice.

Biden was the planned nominee. Nothing the left does is organic

Tara Read did not catch them off guard

There is a plan in place to dump Biden if it looks like he won’t win

High probability this is true.

D

Biden stepped aside in 2016 for Herstory (he was the logical candidate as Veep, but the DNC wanted to go 100% behind a woman). As it came time for the candidates to bow out this time, every single one threw 100% support to Biden per the DNC demands.

The DNC didn't see Reade as a viable impediment. Just like Russia, Ukraine, and Kavanaugh, the DNC is stuck on the wrong side of history on this one. Kharma is a bitch.

H) This is all a setup to get Trump. They are expecting Trump to say Biden needs to drop out of the race. Then, a month or so before the election, they will bring out a woman with the exact same story against Trump. Trump realized this, and threw it back at them saying,(paraphrasing),"I think Joe should fight the allegations."

It blew up in their faces and now they are looking for scenario I).
