Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)I wonder if President Obama is changing his calculation. [View all]
I think he fully intended to wait to the primaries are over to endorse. But Im thinking now if Joe wins Michigan and Washington he many move up the timetable.
It is apparent Bernie is taking this into the gutter. His endorsement would not stop it. But would make clear it is not being done by democrats. He cant want another 2016 and his endorsement would likely secure Biden a majority of the delegates.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
