Doesn't sound far fetched to me. You might be on to something.
Oh, I have no doubt Hilda's gonna run, no matter what.
Since she deserves the nomination more than any other Demo, I dunno why the Demos don't avoid bruising and divisive and expensive primary races, and just give her the nomination right now, by acclamation.
Indeed is the author on to something, but I think it is only half of the something.
The reason why the Dummy DEMS do not avoid primary races is Political Theater: they want to give the appearance of democracy in a process that is openly rigged. "Super Delegates" are still in the picture.
"No, they are not!" you might say. Democrats have severely cut back on their power! The
NY Times said so!
Really?
(Superdelegates) will now be largely barred, however, from participating in the first ballot of the presidential nominating process at the party’s convention — drastically diluting their power.
Superdelegates will be able to cast substantive votes only in extraordinary cases like contested conventions, in which the nomination process is extended through multiple ballots until one candidate prevails.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/25/us/politics/superdelegates-democrats-dnc.htmlNote all the contradictions in those two sentences! "Superdelegates will now be
largely barred"...largely, but not completely in the
First Ballot! The second sentence implies that they will be voting only in "extraordinary cases" of "multiple ballots," but the first sentence implies that they can start voting after a first ballot.
Of course, we expect such an ambiguous from DEMS. But I find it hard to believe that the powers behind the curtain in the DEM Party will allow guaranteed losers like Sanders or Booker or Beto any of the others take the nomination.
And I think that the powers are already divided between two candidates: Clinton Cash undoubtedly has bought some of them, but do not forget a second rival, a younger Afro woman whose husband, like Clinton, was president.
Do not forget about about MAObama Bucks being spread around to buy support among the powers!
Consider these facts from
Moochelle MAObama's "book tour" a few months ago:
...the ten stops of the first leg of her national (book) tour in November and December of 2018 were at arenas with seating capacities hovering around 20,000, not only in Washington, D.C., but also in states like New York, Massachusetts, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Tennessee, Illinois, California, and Georgia.
And then, to begin this New Year, a few days ago she announced that 14 additional speaking engagements have now been scheduled — so far — to allow even more sell-out crowds to attend her “A Conversation with Michelle Obama” tour in similarly huge venues located this time around in Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin,Ohio, and Florida.
If they haven’t done so already, both the president and the RNC might want to compare these “whistle stops” now being made by Michelle to “promote” her book to the following list of the top 10 “key” electoral vote states in 2020: California (45); Texas (38); New York (29); Florida (29); Illinois (20); Pennsylvania (20); Ohio (18); Michigan (16); Georgia (16); North Carolina (15)...
...To attend Michelle’s “book signing” events, she is finding herself able to charge those who want to attend as much as $597.00 to $1,435 per ticket!
Unless her new book is really that good — which is doubtful — the question this fact should put before the president is this: If he were to charge his supporters such ticket prices, would he be able to fill stadiums next year, like he did in 2016?
If not, he really should be taking a long hard look at Michelle Obama… starting right now.
