Interesting peek behind the curtain at Town Hall:
Why Obama Dropped Biden
One of the more poignant moments of Barack Obama's presidency came at the very end, in January 2017, just days before he left the White House. He awarded Vice President Joe Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Obama spoke at great length about their personal friendship and praised Biden's leadership. In response, Biden said he knew that, no matter what, Obama would always be there for him.
But Biden is no longer useful to Obama so it's under the bus:
You didn't have to love Obama to appreciate that there was something sweet about it. But it was all fake. Obama won't be there for Biden. His internal friendship has ended and didn't make it through the next presidential term. Instead of helping his trusted friend run for the presidency, Obama has refused to endorse Biden. According to some reports, Obama repeatedly urged Biden not to run. "You don't have to do this," he warned Biden. Obama, it turns out, cares about one thing: himself. He is obsessed with his political legacy. Every day that Joe Biden stays on the campaign trail, he detracts from that.
And the reason for that:
The current Democratic Party believes in protecting criminals and even celebrating them. All the energy is with the other candidates and insurgents like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. One of these three will likely rise above the rest and take the nomination. That's bad news if you're Obama and all you really care about is your own cherished legacy. Biden is expressively running as a continuation of Obama's agenda. But that agenda has been completely eclipsed by a new radical political agenda. Now, Democrats are demanding single-payer health care, which would be free to illegal immigrants, the ones streaming over our open border with Mexico. Candidates are advocating reparations based on skin color, the abolition of America's history. They want to remake gender relations from the ground up. Obama could be seen as the one who paved the way for all of that. Biden could be seen as the vice president who kept it from happening sooner.
And meanwhile, classical Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard cannot get a word in edgewise. If they ran her, Trump would actually have stiff opposition instead of the clown car wannabes getting the media spotlight.
