They knew Clinton was unpopular because she first lost to Obama and they had to rig her primary against Sanders. Harris couldn’t even beat out Tulsi Gabbard in a primary and the president demanding that she be crowned the candidate has evident dementia.
Say what you will about Donald (and I don’t like him either), but he wasn’t so weak that he had to forego the primaries)
