Sometimes coincidences happen in American politics, but what's happening right now with the Democratic Party - the repeated loud and public doubting about Joe Biden's future by prominent party figures - is not a coincidence.
In an interview with Patrick Bet-David this week, Robert Kennedy Jr. said something about the eventual Democrat presidential nominee I hadn't considered.
"If he were going to drop out," Kennedy said, referring to Biden, "The time to drop out would be during the convention because then he would control the delegates, because they're all Biden delegates, and he would then be able to pick his successor." The idea being that Biden, with the full Democrat apparatus behind him, would lock up the nomination by formally "Running" but then direct all of his secured delegates to fall behind someone else, either because he knows he can't endure a general election campaign, or because he's been told he better not try.
"If Trump wasn't running," Biden said at a fundraiser on Tuesday, "I'm not sure I'd be running." Democrats are, of course, in a problem of their own making.
The country collapsed into ruin under Biden, and the next election was fast approaching.
They knew he shouldn't run again, but his natural successor was an inept and undeniably unqualified Kamala Harris, Biden's black woman of color female vice president.
What would Democrat leaders do to quell it? What wouldn't they do? Nonetheless, it's a price they'd be willing to pay if it increased their chances of defeating Trump a second time.
