On Friday, our fellow ZeroHedge contributing editor Quoth The Raven reiterated his prediction that “Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee in November.” (Joe Biden’s Last Debate<\/a>). Unfortunately for Democrat voters, Quoth The Raven’s prediction will most likely not come to pass. Former Trump staffer Darren Beatie explained why on X on Friday.<\/p>\n Authored by Darren Beattie on X<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Important details below:<\/p>\n Technically, the DNC has many hundreds of members, but the actual nerve center of the party is this committee, small enough to fit into a single D.C. hotel room.<\/p>\n The roughly 30 members of the Rules and Bylaws Committee are far from famous. You\u2019ve heard of Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Gretchen Whitmer, but have you heard of\u2026 Frank Leone? Ken Martin? David McDonald? But anonymous or not, this is the body with the power to change how the Democrats pick their nominee.<\/p>\n And this body, as it happens, is stacked in Biden\u2019s favor. Membership in this critical committee is controlled by the chairman of the DNC, Jaime Harrison, formerly chair of the South Carolina Democrats. Harrison owes his position to being chosen by Joe Biden, and as expected of him, he\u2019s filled Rules and Bylaws with reliable Biden backers. A year ago, over loud protests from some sections of the party, the Rules and Bylaws Committee executed Biden\u2019s request to reshuffle the Democratic primary calendar to reduce the prominence of states that are \u201ctoo white.\u201d They demoted Iowa and New Hampshire (the states where Biden bombed) and elevated South Carolina (the state that rocketed him to the nomination in 2020).<\/p>\n The presence of so many Biden political allies implies, on the flip side, a lack of allies for anyone else. If there really were a viable plot to install Gavin Newsom specifically, it would help to have Newsom political allies somewhere high up in the Democrat Party apparatus. But instead, such allies are missing. That\u2019s no surprise, because he\u2019s not the one who controls the Rules Committee.<\/p>\n In short, the DNC is not some independent actor on the left. It is a body substantially controlled by Joe Biden. Expecting it to change course in order to save the Democrats is like expecting Donald Trump\u2019s presidential campaign to be derailed by the membership of Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\nHere’s Why<\/h2>\n
Power Is Addictive<\/h2>\n
