Unsurprising that Dubya didn't want Bernie to be President.

Is Clyburn aware that Biden probably doesn’t want to be associated with Bush?

The Savior and the Decider was an underrated 80s buddy cop movie.

I think it’s less that and more that he thinks (correctly, in my view) that Bernie could not have beaten Trump.

You know, after the last four years my bar for delusional has gotten pretty high, but here he is catapulting himself over it.

Bush would obviously have been rooting for Trump in that matchup, but prefers Biden because he never criticized his brother on the Iraq war.

He probably understood that his endorsement was essentially poison.

Is this gonna be the first 'Bernie vs Biden' thread of the Biden Administration? Certainly seems like it's headed that way.

Honestly I thought it'd come sooner than 5 hours

Yikes.

Did Richard Sackler personally thank him too? Or was that just assumed with the checks?

I guess even Biden becoming President isn't going to stop us from rehashing the primary again, is it?

Communism doesn't really exist in the US. The Peace and Freedom party is the largest socialist party, and they're not that big and aren't communist.

He can say he was "the savior," I really don't care.
But any help he gave, to defeat and remove the Orange Buffoon ... then I am 100% grateful.

This about the primary obviously. SC still voted for Trump.

Hence one would expect Clyburn to stay quiet about this. I’d think that Clyburn wouldn’t want to relitigate the primary nor would he want to be associated with Bush in the eyes of voters.

The argument at hand here, of course, is that only Biden winning the primary would've resulted in Trump losing the general. You don't have to agree with that argument, but at least acknowledge that that's the argument that's being made.

The story here is that Bush much prefers Biden to Bernie and the electability argument is bogus. Kerry, McCain, Romney, and Hillary were supposed to be electable and lost.
