        I mean, I laugh when Freep refers to it as "Pollutico", but I also wouldn't put it past Obama to privately say something like this to the concerned organizer of a big money speaking engagement.

          Explain the logic to me. Why would he promise to launch a public challenge to Sanders AFTER he jumped into a big lead? That. Makes. No. Sense. So either 1) Obama has become illogical to an insane degree, or 2) He openly prefers Trump to Sanders since an intraparty war ensures Chump's re-election.

          Do you really believe any of this?

            The problem is that it lines up with what he just said recently (and was argued about ITT).

              Or he was saying something quietly, in confidence, to a big donor (plutocrat) to quell his fears of Warren and Sanders.

              But, keep saying it could never happen.

                  I will say that because its idiotic. If someone wants to say to me that Obama prefers Biden or Buttigieg over Sanders/Warren then sure I can see that. But its a BIIIIG leap between that and he's openly going to torpedo a front runner (Sanders) AFTER he opened up a big lead.

                    Maybe he assumes that Bernie will never get a big lead and was trying to settle down a big donor and get out of the conversation?

                      Now...if there is truth to it then Obama is in the wrong here. I think he should stay out of it for now. If he wants to endorse when we get into the voting phases fine but otherwise it is best if he just stays away.

                        That would be believable but that isnt how Politico is framing it and you know it. This is like when someone takes some random thing Hillary said and then post the headline "Hillary Hasnt Ruled Out Running Again" except for the fact that she has and never hinted otherwise. Politico is clickbaiting.

                        I dont think Obama wants Bernie winning, and I dont doubt for a second that behind the scenes RIGHT NOW he is probably trying to ensure a candidate he likes better is wins. I highly doubt though that someone who is a pretty good strategist is going to wait until the point when Bernie is on the precipice of victory to take him down. That is ridiculous Scooby.

                          That would be my guess.

                            So now you and Fade are mind readers, based on an imaginary conversation that doubtfully ever happened!

                            I'm going to play this game and imagine a conversation between the two of you which may or may not have happened, but you might not like what I come up with. Who knows, I might even get Politico to cover it.

                              Politico isn't interested in me. My interest level is in negative digits while Obama is still in the high '90's. That's why what he says is considered news.

                                Knowing nothing about this story except the discussion here, this rings most true to me.
