Have the Democrats Made a Rare Tactical Blunder With the New Hampshire Primary?

[Steve R.]

The Democrats made the calculated choice not to have Biden on the New Hampshire primary ballot. A somewhat arrogant decision with two themes: 1) that Biden had the Democratic nomination for president "locked" up so there would be no need for him to be on the ballot. 2) that the Democrats (Biden) would have the dazzling optics of the "first" primary in South Carolina as a blood debt to Clyburn (as king maker) who "fixed" the Democratic nomination process to have Biden crowned as the Democratic nominee in 2020.

Biden has another Democrat (Dean Phillips) running in the New Hampshire primary. Evidently Phillips didn't get the "memo" that another Democrat was not supposed to run/compete with Biden. Interesting, a Democrat acting independently. Even more hilarious, Phillips has actually called-out the Democratic party for claiming to be the defenders of democracy, but actually suppressing democracy. (Evidently Democrats have been "fixing" the presidential nomination process since at least 2016, but may have done so before then.)

So now the rush is on to get a win for Biden by having people writing his name on the primary ballot so that it won't look like Biden lost an election to some unknown person. But there is a problem with that. New Hampshire has an open primary, which means that Independents and Democrats can vote for either the Republican or Democratic nominee to be the presidential candidate. Speculation has been mounting that Democrats were encouraging people to vote for Nicky Haley to knee-cap Donald Trump so that Trump could not claim New Hampshire as a win. It would seem that that tactic is now backfiring since the Democratic party is now frantic for Biden to win the Democratic primary there. Seemingly, that would imply that Democrats who had considered voting for Haley would now have to commit to Biden so that Biden won't be outdone by Phillips. That would be a benefit to Trump.

Late breaking news since posting. DeSanits has dropped out of the New Hampshire primary and endorsed Trump. That benefits Trump.

It is more important to unseat Trump and Nikki Haley is their last great hope. if it is just Trump and Haley and she can get 30% of the republican vote, all they need to do is to encourage Democrats to vote for Haley instead of Biden.

Do you really believe most Democrats or the powerful ones feel this way? Nikki polls better for beating Biden.

I think Democrats are hoping for a Trump rematch instead, this gives them a better chance at winning. If Nikki is the candidate they are screwed, she is sterile as a hospital, in political terms

because they still want their guy to win but they won't cheat against her

that's an interesting assertion, why do you think that's true?

China is strong enough to invade us at home, especially with Russia and Iran and a large bunch of other small countries who hate us for what we have done to them over the years in the name of "democracy".

Except why should they do that when they see we are destroying ourselves from the inside for free.

I think China just watches and chuckles sometimes. They are so far ahead of us in most areas it seems like it's just a matter of time before their appetite for control develops into an imminent threat.

Buy toilet paper and firearms. (i'm kidding, but it is funny to picture when all you have left is to sit on the toilet shooting)
