What is even worse is thinking that you beat Obama in 2016 and that Biden will lead us into WWII, while proclaiming your superior "mentality".

That wasn’t the question, and to be fair Trump did beat Obama’s hand picked successor.

No he didn't. Trump was appointed, not elected by popular vote.

We, the citizens, were ignored.

Did he? Cause the president is "elected" through and indirect election where effectively the Electoral College delegates appoint the President....

Bottom line, did Trump beat Clinton?  Normiss said “no he didn’t” I guess you agree?

Yes he did, but Trump said he beat Obama.....and then you said Clinton was handpicked by Obama, which is as much bullshit as Trump saying he beat Obama.

“President Barack Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton on Thursday, saying, “I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”

Obama met with Bernie Sanders in the White House and told him to stand down.  I’m pretty sure that endorsing one candidate while shutting down the only viable option is literally the definition of “ hand-picked”

Obama endorsed Clinton the Thursday after she’d won enough Primaries to have a majority of delegates. 
 

It’s more than a little amusing that you’ve decided to demonstrate your complete and total ignorance of this process on the same day you told someone else to learn civics.

Clinton was hand picked just like Biden was hand picked.

Did Obama hand pick Biden too? Who is doing this hand picking? You are no different from somebody like Ron, when you don't understand something you ascribe it to a magical mystical entity. In his case god, in your case: they/them/Deep State etc.

"Them" of course.  The Deep State.  George Soros.  The New World Order.  Wokeness.  MS-13.  The "illegal immigrant hordes."  Take your pick; the right has tons of bogeymen.

Yes indeed, handpicked by the delegates just like every other nominee.

 

BTW, interesting to see that when your 'evidence' is demolished you simply fall back on 'because I said so'. Does that ever work?

I just find it curious that Buttigieg won two out of the first three contests while Biden lost three in a row. After Biden won South Carolina everyone bailed, claiming there was no path forward. Of course there was no path forward as the Democrat machine had made its choice.  There was no way they would let another woman be sacrificed on the altar of progressivism, no way they would let gay man be the Democrat stander bearer and absolutely no chance of a socialist getting the nod.  It used to be that Republicans fell in line while Democrats fell in love, clearly the opposite is now true.

Or explain why Biden is the presumptive nominee even though a majority of Democrats want an alternative.

Can you think of a time when the incumbent was not the pesumptive nominee?

So let me just check this logic - Clinton won three out of the first four Primaries and this shows she was handpicked by the DNC machine. Biden lost three out of the first four Primaries and this shows he was handpicked by the DNC machine. 
 

Is there anything that could possibly have happened that you wouldn’t think was evidence of Democrat nominees being handpicked in advance?

 

BTW, after SC Buttigieg may have had two wins, but from that he was sitting on 26 delegates and poll numbers that were falling like a fat man on ice. Biden had 48 and was rising just as fast.  And not everyone bailed, since Bernie was still leading the delegate count for some time after that.

He’s the President. Duh. 
 

Have you ever paid any attention to how your own country works?

About as much as he pays attention to anything else.

"the democrat machine", "they"

You don't understand something so you ascribe things to some undefined entity. Have you ever wondered why Trump loves the uneducated?

Hi jakee,

Re:  After Biden won South Carolina everyone bailed

Actually, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and others bailed just before the SC primary.

Brent still has not seen the ball since kickoff.
