'He also all but handed Biden the nomination when he renounced surrogate Zephyr Teachouts op-ed about Bidens corruption problem, but thats another issue.'
Kind of an obscure little scuffle to hang such a pronouncement on. The op-ed that wasn't an op-ed. It was a copy/paste hit piece rolled out under Corruption Experts name to lend authority to what turned out to be baseless nonsense.
I read one paragraph. Four accusations of corruption. Two were linked to Intercept articles, one linked to a Guardian article, and one I forget. Two accusations were for not doing what Bernie said to do. Two accusations were for contact with people who Bernie said no one should contact. No actual corruption IOW. Just disobedience of the revolution. Bad article. Shunned by Bernie for a reason. Reason? Bad. Dropped like a hot potato. Never referenced again until now. And this doofus claims the nomination hung on its acceptance by Bernie. WTF ROFL Who's checking this garbage before publication? Don't they do that anymore? Where's that Jann Wenner dude? He always edited Hunter S. Thompson's stuff. I think.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
