So let’s brainstorm this; what is the dems’ play with Joe?

Are there so few decent dem candidates that they have no choice?

Are they simply incompetent?

Are they assuming people hate Trump enough to pull the lever for a guy who never campaigns or debates?

Are they planning to slip someone in last minute?
If so, what’s the advantage of letting Joe run now?

Or are they up to something more nefarious and hopping Joe can win with one of the radical leftists as his VP...and betting on making this extreme leftist President?

They have to get Joe as close to the finish line as they can because they feel that active candidacy will shield him from prosecution for the corruption discovered by the DOJ.

This is also why I believe Susan Rice will be his VP pick. It's just cover because they know that they won't be able to get away with it.

This. The majority of people lack common sense or actual values, and are too blind/stupid to see how this is playing out

People are dumb and vote name recognition over pretty much anything else.

Trump knows this. Marketing himself as a brand is one of his biggest strengths.

I hope this election sends the dems to the same place the Labor Party lies In England, in the dark with no chance at power

Bring in a Black woman for VP and Biden is over. It will all be about promoting the VP Pick.

Joe Biden is done and the Dems know it! He wont survive the first debate when Trump throws, Ukrane in his face. Remember, Joe Biden has a serious dementia problem. People with dementia will throw massive temper tantrums when pressed for events that have happened in the past because they struggle to put timelines together quickly.

Biden loses his mind (as in gets mad and goes way off the deep end)in the first debate and its lights out, they will get a replacement named Hillary Clinton!

They are saving younger candidates to groom them. They are using Joe to initially get a progressive message out so it won't be so progressive in 4 years. A party rarely wins 3 terms in a row so that is a chance to get really progressive.

1. Run Biden.
2. Hide Biden.
3. Have the msm do the campaigning for Biden.
4. Have Biden pick one of the handful of far left black female nominees as vp.

5. If Biden wins, have him resign just after his inauguration, so the first woman president can bypass the election process, and be appointed.

5b. If Biden loses, scream that trump cheated. Incite more and more people to riot and injure American citizens.

The DNC handpicked Biden due to internal polling throughout the Rust Belt. Then, they manipulated the Democratic primary by pulling Buttigieg, and others taking votes from Biden, right before Super Tuesday, while leaving Warren in place to pull votes from Sanders.

The DNC has effectively taken the vote away from Democrat voters. They handpicked Biden, and will handpick his replacement.

as discussed in Supa's thread on bait & switch Biden. there is a dem write up of their laws. if Biden drops out now the nomination goes to Bernie, if he accepts the nomination he can drop out and the dems can place whoever they want.

I'm guessing Cuomo & Rice.

the question I have is do the Bern bros GAF that Bern got a lake house again to go away? that the dems are using him and AOC?

I think it's some combination of all of the above.

The Dem field was pretty shitty and had no "big names" other than Biden and maybe Sanders, at least to the casual political observer (particularly undecideds and moderates). Biden fit the "big name" as Obama's former VP and has the name recognition factor.

And to add to that, the Dem platform (or lack thereof) has really jumped far left in the last 4 years, leaving moderates and undecideds behind. This means most of the "new school" Dems are too far left for the average independent and undecided; Biden is "old school" in that regard. It was a matter of his appeal to those closer to the center but still Left.

I don't think they necessarily SET OUT to replace him at the last minute or have his VP take over shortly after his election, but they almost HAVE to be considering that as the option now. I think they're too late in the game to replace him outright, so something will happen or he'll be forced to "bow out gracefully" at the last minute as part of the new plan.

I think they'll carefully pick his VP knowing that person will be president if he wins, and maybe even his last minute replacement if he bows out before the election. I don't think it was planned that way from the start, but Biden CANNOT be passed off as competent like they expected.

They are going to nominate Michelle Obama at the DNConvention. Why do you think Biden has said he is not going to the convention? Biden is just doing what he is told to do. They are avoiding Michelle having to debate Trump because she can't do it.

It's pretty simple. Give him the RBG treatment and keep him alive long enough to gain control

I’ve been predicting for over a year that sHitlary is maneuvering behind the scenes to steal this nomination. I’m sticking to my prediction.

Democrats have the foresight of a mayfly. We shouldn't try to predict what they don’t know yet.

1) Hide him as much as possible.

2) Trash Trump.24/7, with continual help from the media.

3) Make 2020 a referendum on President Trump, and push every possible false narrative (race, virus, economic downturn, etc.).
