    The Dems don’t want him to exit. They have the means and they know how to use it, so wanting to force him on us has to mean that it’s what the party apparatus wants, which is really just what their rich and corporate donors want

      Maybe, but if Schumer, Pelosi, and Schiff are all working to get Biden out, I assume at least a sizable chunk of the leadership wants him to go.

          Then they just need to remove him. Change the rules before the convention to release the delegates. Have his cabinet declare him unfit for office. It would be much better for the party’s chances in November if he would bow out gracefully, but if he won’t do that, take the choice away from him. He will lose, so we have to do something.

          Oh that’s an interesting claim. Let’s look at the citation.

          citing multiple people briefed on Obama’s thinking

          Ya this isnt credible.
