Lawrence points out the people who were calling for Joe Biden to step down wanted a chaotic mini-primary or open convention. By immediately endorsing Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and The Clintons had her replacement nomination sewn up within a day.

2. What Biden did was pure masterpiece

He played everyone, from the republicans to the talking heads and those within the party who wanted him out.

Probably one of the most effective moves in politics in decades if not ever.

3. Some of the people wanted that. They were stupidly wrong.

My guess is that, as usual, they were scared of the attack from the fascists that her nomination was undemocratic. Also as usual, these super smart self-anointed leaders both overthought the 'problem' and underthought their 'solution'.

4. My theory: No Kamala then no withdrawal.

Joe was not passive.

5. Biden strategically torpedoed the "genius" idea of a mini-primary backed by top Dems

including Rep. Lofgren, Pelosi’s strong ally.

6. That the Clintons

had their backs is no surprise to me.

9. Joe Biden did a great job of passing the torch to Kamala Harris

10. That makes perfect sense -

especially if the pressure was on from the big donors who just wanted someone younger. The Bidens and Clintons have dealt with politics long enough to envision what a chaotic mess a split convention would be - so they avoided that by putting together a plan behind the scenes.
