The article presumes it will be Biden (and<br \/>\nWarren) heading the ticket rather than Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>But if that happens, his supporters are likely to bolt and say no to such<br \/>\nan obvious manipulation of the process. If Hillary bows out because of<br \/>\nher legal problems, Sanders will have a clear claim to the nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Anything less will be another indication the process is rigged which is<br \/>\nthe basis for the revolt against the established leaders of both parties.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the appropriate nominees of their respective parties should<br \/>\nbe Trump and Sanders. The Donald won his fair and square. If Hillary<br \/>\ndeparts, Bernie deserves the win.<\/p>\n<p>And if all this isn&#8217;t confusing enough, keep in mind that anything can<br \/>\nhappen in the next 6 months to disrupt the entire process in either or<br \/>\nboth parties including Convention fights, third-party formations, the<br \/>\ndeath or indictment of candidates and the suspension of the election.<\/p>\n<p>N.B.: Here&#8217;s the apparent plan: get Bernie to drop out and then have<br \/>\nHillary cop a deal with Barack in order to avoid prosecution. Then<br \/>\nBiden and Warren will top the Democratic ticket!<\/p>\n<p>Having failed to defeat one insurgent (Trump), &#8220;they&#8221; are going after<br \/>\nthe other one (Sanders).
