(11,949 posts)When he said he had to talked to the President and would work with him to defeat trump. He really pronounced and stress 'him'. Enough that I took it mean he would not work with 'her'. Because then he begrudgingly congratulated he for her 'victories', but not her 'Victory'.
I think he is trying to act like he and Obama are working to defeat trump without publicly admitting that he has lost or endorse Clinton. And I think Obama would tell him no dice. He is at some point going to have to acknowledge he has lost.
Of course, my theories are usually full of shit!
Unless he is going up to threaten that unless Obama lead the Supers to him that he goes third party the result should be positive.
I am pretty certain that when the president has you into Oval Office he is in a position of power.
