Mike's America: The Empire Strikes Back: Dem Establishment Springs to Life to Rescue Biden and Bury Bernie

In less than a week Biden went from being dead man walking to presumptive Dem nominee. How did that happen?

Supporters of Bernie Sanders, the crazy communist from Vermont, otherwise called Bernie Bros are not happy today. A week ago everything was going their way. Bernie tied Iowa, won New Hamshire and Nevada and even had polling saying he was ahead in South Carolina. Bernie had a huge financial advantage with a massive campaign organization in key states. The stars were aligned for the communist dream to come true. Then South Carolina voted. Bernie got crushed by the black vote:

Looka here, Bernie & Bros,

Y’all seriously thought y’all could just disrupt our Dem Party like the Tea Partiers did to the GOP

This ain’t the GOP. This is the party of BLACK FOLK

And y’all FIRST mistake was stepping into BLACK FOLK’S house thinking y’all gon’ run shit

PSYCH!

But no matter, Bernie Bros surmised, we have Super Tuesday. Biden was out of money and had no campaign organization anything like Bernies. Polls suggested he would win big:

These are polls from the past 5 days. Not only was Bernie leading nationally, he was the top 2nd choice, even the top 2nd choice for Buttigieg supporters

The idea that Biden just miraculously rocketed to the top nationwide is complete unadulterated bullshit #RiggedPrimary pic.twitter.com/uYyw4TTSsa

Wrong again. What happened? Just before the South Carolina primary the Democrat establishment, spooked by a potential Bernie nomination, clicked into high gear. Rep. Jim Clyburn, who runs the black vote in South Carolina, made it clear his folks would support Biden and they did. And after the primary Obama dialed in and had a conversation with Pete Butigieg. Did he also call Amy Khlobachur? Both withdrew and endorsed Biden in less than 24 hours. The only person who wasn't bought off was Bloomberg who has now dropped out of the race and reported to endorse Biden.

Meanwhile, so curiously, Elizabeth Warren who stands no chance of winning the nomination stayed in for Super Tuesday and successfully drew far left votes from Bernie in key states. What has Biden promised her? The V.P. nomination?

Is it any wonder that the hashtag #riggedprimary is trending on Twitter?

Ask yourself this: why do these "anomalies" ALWAYS go against Bernie? If polls just suck, you'd expect inaccuracies in both directions.

We saw it in 2016, with Hillary outperforming exit polls at trillion-to-one odds. We did nothing then. Will we do nothing now? #RiggedPrimary https://t.co/af1jmu3BIz

Bernie bros: other candidates dropping out to endorse Biden is a conspiracy to stop Bernie, and totally abnormal

Also Bernie Bros: Warren not dropping out to endorse Bernie is selfish, and totally abnormal#SuperTuesdayResults

Democrats Dilemma

The problem Democrats have is that the Bernie Bros aren't going to do as they are told and jump in line behind corrupt Joe Biden. They are going to continue the fight in state after state and with current Democrat rules that means delegate totals are split. If Warren stays in the race then Biden will get the lions share, especially after Bloomberg drops out. Warren retracted her adamant pledge to refuse PAC money so she has the cash. Wonder where it came from? Too soon to say if Biden will reach the magic number of 1991 delegates needed for a first ballot nomination.
