Within a mere week, and apparently magically, the Democrat presidential primary race is down to two really old white guys (although a part-Samoan woman is still hanging on for some unknown reason since she hasn’t got a chance in hell). Except I don’t believe in magic – or coincidence, for that matter – when it comes to politics. Everything happens for a reason and, in the case of Democrats in particular, for personal or party gain (or both). Democrat operatives have been bleating the conventional wisdom throughout the Democrat-media echo chamber that Biden has “pulled off one of the most spectacular turn-arounds in presidential primary history,”

Plausible, except for the Deval Patrick, Eric Holder and (God help us) Michelle Obama references. Just call off the election and be done with it.

I smell Romney in the wind. Just a hunch. But what do i know. He can pick off the Rep never Trumpers and snag a bunch of democrats because he pulled a McCain with him impeachment vote. Could be Romney Flake and the surprise Dem ticket.

The flaw with this article's reasoning is that as soon as Biden drops out due medical or senility reason, what stops Bernie from jumping back in. It is unlikely he will stay out. Almost two thirds of delegates are yet to be elected. Bernie looks more likely.

Author makes a lot of very valid points. And, never underestimate Hillary Clinton's ambition. Having avoided the circular firing squad of the primary debates as well as a physically exhausting campaign would be smart moves for the dragon lady.

There is no way that the Democrats could go with a Biden-Romney or a Biden-Flake ticket as Bernie’s crew would go nuts, and both Romney and Flake are not stable trustworthy politicians, even though it appears that Romney at the moment is trying to ride shotgun for the Bidens as far as Ukraine corruption is concerned, by ensuring that any Senate investigation of the Bidens remains behind closed doors. The never-Trumpers will not vote for Trump anyway so there is nothing for the Democrats to gain by going with Romney or Flake.

The writer makes some very interesting points.
Maybe this is why Disney CEO Bob Iger resigned? At the top of his game; too young to retire.
Near the end of his piece, the writer seems to hint at a Kerry-Hillary duo. The double yuck factor is just too heavy for that...

Not ready to buy Mr. NoVowels' take on things. I'll wait and see. I think people think that the shadowy folks in the back rooms have more control than they actually do, and are smarter, FAR smarter than they actually are.
We'll see.

Biden will have a stroke before Memorial Day. Bernie will have a fatal heart attack before the 4th of July!

Been saying for about a year now, SHE is waiting, waiting, waiting, in the wings. No campaigning and Captain Hillary will ride in, save the country and the Dem. party. Book it, Dano...

Trump would love to tangle with Hillary again. Can you imagine how bad she would look when he gets done with her! I don't buy it!

The DNC is doing an active candidate search using the following criteria: Lesbian, multi-racial, Hispanic surname, transgender, disabled veteran. Homeless experience is a plus.

Kind of easy to predict a Hillary-Michelle ticket, with Hillary promising to do only one term.

This is the most plausible explanation for what's happening in the Rat Party. It really doesn't matter what the name that gets filled in, its beat Trump

Barack Obama is the leader of the Democrat Party not Hillary Clinton, after his comments the other day referring to his Monica affair the Democrats know that Bill Clinton will never again live in the White House. Remember back at the get-go Obama’s candidate was and most likely still is the very liberal Devil Patrick who is out of the same Chicago political stable as Obama. If Biden is handed the nomination by Obama and the Super Delegates look for Obama to force Patrick on Biden in return for Obama’s support in the run-up to the general election.
If Biden were thereafter elected, after one check up from the neck up Biden would be out, and Patrick who could never be elected President this year in his own rite would assume the Presidency, and would then still be eligible as the incumbent President to run for re-election in 2024 and 2028. But first the Democrat ticket must defeat President Trump in the November election.

Any word without vowels is odd, and essentially unpronouncable without instruction on what to do with that set of letters. Sorry if pointing out that the name has no vowels bothers you, #11, I was not particularly mocking, but it is certainly odd and I have no idea how I would even start to pronounce it without him pronouncing it for me. It definitely violates all English rules of phonics, leaves us high and dry.

I agree with # 8. These shadowy powers-that-be, lurking in the back rooms and at the DNC have no real ability to re-design the race at this point. Unless the convention is a complete catastrophe (not likely, IMO) the nominee will be one of the two old codgers, most likely Biden. Alternative scenarios are fun to conjure up, but are usually not realistic.

Felonia von Pantsuit awaits in the wings, with her unity ticket of Clinton/Romney ready to ride in and save the nation! It COULD happen... At least in her cabal's imagination.

The real story here is that the Democrats have pandered to radicals of every ilk, and they are trying to take over the Democratic party. They have coalesced under Bernie Sanders. The Democrats denied Bernie in 2016, and will do the same in 2020. Their nominee will be Joe Biden. It will be interesting who gets selected as VP. Biden won't be forced out, but his health will be an issue.
Regardless, don't see how the Democrats beat Trump and the Democrats know it. That's why the Democrats tried to get Trump impeached. He fights back, unlike the Bushes, McCain, and Romney. The Democrats are probably already looking ahead to 2024 where there will be no incumbent.

Assume (unlikely) that there is a dem presidential sub called in at the convention. Do you really think that the dems are going to blindly follow such a candidate. The Bernie Bros are unlikely to, even if Bernie endorses them. If it is someone who has done NO campaigning for the presidency, I doubt support will be high. Dragging Hillary out of the woods with a toxic BJ is NOT going to play well.
Sure, many dems will do ANYTHING to get rid of Trump. But there are many who will not blindly party dictats and are fed up with dem establishment dirty dealings. If Biden is swept aside for "health" reasons, for example, WHY was his candidacy allowed to go so far when there were clear signs of problems. If Bernie is not the backup candidate, WHY? If Holder, for example, is proposed, WHY didn't he run in the primaries? Why would largely ignored Deval Patrick be a viable choice. Why would ANY of the failed dem candidates be a good choice? The establishment "reason" might be that they just wanted to push the hard Left out of the way. But they can't say that and no matter WHAT they do say, it will sound fake.
The best thing the dem establishment might do is support Biden knowing he will be blown away by Trump. After the election, the establishment will have played by the rules (kind of) and they can hang the loss around the neck of the Left. Then they can rebuild as they did after Mondale. Yes, it will be a huge setback as Trump continues to tear apart Progressivism but the dem party could survive. Doing almost anything else may not only lose the election but could also destroy the party as well.
Are the dems smart enough to do the smart thing? Naaaah.

It has to be either Quid Pro Joe or Comrade Bunny. Some Johnny Come Lately who never campaigned can't just be handed the dim nomination. I hate both of them. But Comrade Sanders would destroy America by eliminating our military and use the money to enact communism. Plugs would have enough sense to not leave us without our Armed Forces. He's dumb and a crook. But not crazy. Well not as crazy Bullschiff Bunny.

What GLORIOUS material for Donald Magnifico! Let the insults begin...fun ones...cool ones...true ones always!!! The press will try to convince America to hate Trump...but we won't and he will be our next POTUS! Can we win the House is the big question! With Bernie or Biden, I believe the American people will elect Republican's to manage the House and Senate. Can you imagine Trump with control of congress! The Do Nothing Democrats will need 200 years to undo his legacy!!! What a fun ride! (unless we all die like the media is telling us we will with the virus)...

Clyburn has been Doing some poker tells lately. Prior to the Biden endorsement he alluded to Sanders leading the ticket would be a burden on the party and put the down ticket in jeopardy. Then the Biden endorsement.
Clyburn after Biden South Caroline victory made it clear he felt Biden's campaign needed a retooling. Clyburn, March 5 that he wanted the Democrat nominee for vice president to be a person of color, and that he already had a candidate in mind for the bottom half of a Biden ticket.
Biden is a political hack. He’ll do what the party wants. He’ll get the nomination. They need him to get the traditional Dem base out to vote, His campaign will be retooled after the nomination and a women of color will be in the ticket.
