In March 2020, all the major Democratic primary candidates abruptly, mysteriously and in near unison withdrew from the presidential race, ceding the nomination to Joe Biden.
Yet Biden had lost the first three races in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada — and only won his first victory in South Carolina.
Suddenly, on the eve of the Super Tuesday mega-primaries, the candidacies of front-runner Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren and others simply evaporated.
The fear of a front-runner Sanders’ socialist victory and nomination — and thus an enviable landslide loss to incumbent Donald Trump in the general election —had prompted the donor class and shadowy political insiders to act.
And they did so by choosing a perceived moderate, old Joe Biden from Scranton. That required the coerced departures of all his far-left rivals, who had hitherto performed much better than Biden in the primaries.
Now front-runner Biden still displayed obvious symptoms of serious cognitive decline that had only seemed to mount through the 2020 campaign. And his dementia continued to accelerate during his first three years as president.
Biden had deceitfully promised to conduct a healing campaign and a unifying presidency. But once in the White House, his extreme agendas proved the most divisive and far-left in nearly a century.
Rumors of that prior March 2020 Faustian bargain emerged. The Bidens got to serve as useful moderate veneers. So, they enjoyed the ceremonial functions of the presidency while outsourcing the real operations to former Obama officials, consultants and advisors.
Dems are coo-coo.
