The wild week is over. A wild week lies ahead. This appears to be the last gasp at pushing Biden out of the race, given the calendar. The Democratic convention is four weeks away. If they want to have an open convention, then they need a few weeks to put together a candidate list, convince them to lobby for donor support and put together a campaign for the convention. It also takes time to rig the vote, as nothing says democracy like rigging democratic primaries.
It is an interesting bit of scheming. The Biden people are playing for time as they understand the reality of the schedule. At the same time, the anti-Biden people are feverishly planting fake news about Biden in the media, because they understand the calendar too. That means this week will be a frenzy of activity from both sides. They plan to parade Biden around all next week doing campaign events, while the anti-Biden people turn the fake news up to eleven.
The thing to watch is the effort to get the delegates to revolt against Biden at the convention to force him off the ballot and thereby force an open convention. As of now, the “virtual nomination” is set for August 1st. It had been scheduled for last week, but it was delayed. That means the anti-Biden people have this week to convince enough delegates to fink on Biden. They need about 2000 delegates to flip in order to force an open convention.
Of course, no one involved in this effort is thinking past the first move. Even if they can create a revolt among the delegates, it does not mean they get a good result at the convention. Biden will no doubt spend his vast campaign budget to win at the convention. Then you have the fact that the delegates tend to be the hardest of hard thumping crazies. They could decide that it is time to nominate Bernie Sanders to right the wrongs of past primaries.
Please Allah, make this happen.
