“It’s safe to say in New Hampshire, the DNC is less popular than the New York Yankees,” quipped the state Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley, who ran for DNC chair not long ago.
For Biden, the upshot of the standoff is a bizarre no-win situation. He is prohibited by his own party rules from competing in the Jan. 23 primary since it is officially “meaningless,” according to the DNC. The party will not recognize its results. And he did not even put his name on the ballot, so his supporters will have to write in his name.
But his performance against weak opposition from Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., and self-help author Marianne Williamson will nonetheless be judged as a measure of his political health at a moment when Democrats are already anxious about his campaign.
“This was political malpractice of the highest order because it was totally unnecessary and totally self-inflicted,” said a New Hampshire Democrat and Biden ally who has decades of experience in presidential primaries, requesting anonymity to speak candidly.
Gang,
Even before this, there's been chatter in right-wing media about the ineptitude of the Flatulent Fool's campaign leadership.
In November, the story may be that "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" lost because he ran the worst re-election in American history.
Interesting.
One personal note. If pb lived in New Hampshire, he vote in the Dem Primary for Dean Phillips
