With all due respect Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Clyburn and other key Dem players have all disclosed they wanted a competitive nomination process to be respected. Do you think that process would have produced a Harris Walz ticket? Come on bud.

Ummm...because that's what happened? All of those people wanted someone other than Harris, and she ended up being the nominee anyway. The reason she ended up being the nominee is that no one else wanted to gamble their long term political future taking her on in a lopsided contest. The reason that all of those key Democratic leaders were unsuccessful in getting a competitive nomination process is because no one took them up on that offer.

You can't beat someone with no one. No one was in a position to take on Harris in a no-rules, made up on the fly "competitive" nomination process thrown together ad hoc in response to Biden dropping out. It doesn't matter if all of the people who aren't going to run want a competitive nomination process unless there's an actual candidate that's saying, "....and I'm going to compete in that process."

There was no one in July of 2024, and there wouldn't have been anyone in March of 2024 either.
