Im sorry but you all are missing it. The democrat party primary process is a show. The party probably called and said he wasnt a finalist for the job. They are trying to select between Betomania, Hillary and Kamala. Once it is selected, the fix is in.
The LAST thing that they want or will permit is a real primary. Are younreadimg this Bernie?
I think you are correct. They are figuring out who is “inevitable” and telling all the wannabes to step back because they are not the chosen one.
