So you do believe in conspiracies?
Do I believe the US gummint killed JFK? No. I believe they ####ed up, said to themselves "This Oswald guy is a clown, nothing to see here" and then needed to cover that up so as to not look stupid and inept. So, yeah, I believe in conspiracies but not for nefarious, grand plots. For simple reasons. We did it again with 9/11. It can NOT be that we knew about them and a bureaucrat stopped our guys from stopping it.
I think the conspiracy here is that Obama HAD to do all he could to support her, to be seen as doing his best to support her and that he was going to do that but only up to a point. Keep in mind that this is NOT a D and R thing. It's all the people INSIDE both parties and their rivalries and interests. Bernie didn't stay in late for his health. He knew there was reason to stay. The thing got covered up longer than he could justify. So, was it inevitable? I don't know. Maybe there has been a race going on to try and stop this and maybe not everyone was doing all they could. Or, maybe they were simply waiting to play their hand as best they could?
Or I am totally wrong. :shrug:
