Turns Out We Were Right: Dems Were Playing The Long Con I & I Editorial Board

Back in February, we noticed a spate of articles claiming that there was no way that Joe Biden would not be the Democrats’ nominee.
“In the span of two days,” we wrote, “articles started appearing making the exact same argument: 
That Joe Biden will definitely, no questions asked, be the nominee come November.” (See: “Are Dems Actually ‘Stuck With Biden’? Or Are They Playing A Long Con?” Feb. 14, 2024.)
We noticed that these articles — all written by supposed political pros — made the same argument:
  • It’s too late for Biden to step aside.
  • Party elites are all behind Biden.
  • There’s no way Biden would ever drop out.
  • Nobody wants Kamala Harris to be the nominee.
Horsefeathers, we said, Democrats’ only interest is in defeating Donald Trump and keeping power, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve that...
  • So, we got to wondering if any of those journalistic “experts” admitted their mistake or apologized to readers for being 100% wrong back in February.
Not on your life...
