JOE BIDEN COULD BE THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB
This just occurred to me. From the DS perspective, they are propping up someone who:
1) never stands a chance to win against trump
2) is linked to all of the corrupt shit for the last 20 years or more
3) is a reasonably high sacrifice
4) knew that he would eventually be thrown under the bus
5) can maybe take the blame on himself for some of BHO's misdeeds
6) can maybe satisfy (not) the demand for justice that will come
