ICHEOKU says for a man who just entered the race for nomination of the Democratic Party's presidential candidate for 2020, to assertively be campaigning against a sitting president, without first demolishing the 19 other Democrats seeking the same party's presidential nomination is either the height of a condescending arrogance or the fix is already in, to rig the primaries in his favor.
And yes, former Vice President Joe Biden is as an insider establishment candidate as it can get; as no other person currently marshaled out and running for the coveted flag bearer position of the party is as entrenched as a man who has spent 44 years and counting in Washington DC. Now, instead of first fighting to survive the Democratic Party's nomination primaries, Joe Biden is talking as if he has the nomination already securely tucked away in his pocket and only looking forward to taking on President Donald John Trump.
ICHEOKU says once beaten, twice shy; and as former President George W. Bush once reminded Americans, 'fool me once, shame on you; but fool me twice, shame on me'; begging the question, will Bernie Sanders accept to be had twice by the Democratic Party establishment without a fight? The last time, it was against Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee rigged the primaries against him and in favor of Hillary Clinton. This time, it is looking like a repeat of what happened then is likely to happen again and you ask yourself, will he accept the same DNC rigging of the primaries against him and in favor of Joe Biden? This is the $64,000 question and unless Bernie Sanders is prepared to display his usual ever loyal party man attitude and agree to step out of the way for Joe Biden, there will be trouble in paradise as Bernie Babies will not accept it, at least not this time and not after what they suffered in 2015/6.
Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders was given an opportunity on Anderson Cooper 360 to react to what is apparently a gathering conspiracy against him which pushed Joe Biden's candidacy upfront, but he shied away from it. Instead of answering the question he became coy about it, saying that beating President Donald John Trump is paramount and more important than any other thing. It was the same way he blew an opportunity for a lifeline in 2016 when he was asked about Hillary Clinton's emails and instead of taking the lead and running with it, dismissively said that Americans are tired of hearing about the emails and that everybody should move on from it. That was the day he unofficially lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton and it seems a similar loss is now threatening him by his not standing firm against a Democratic Party that is bent on not allowing him to fly their presidential ticket flag come 2020.
Why the Democratic Party which is supposed to be democratic as their name suggests do this to Bernie Sanders is beyond ICHEOKU; except to guess it is possibly because he is not a member of the Democratic Party, but an Independent who caucuses with and votes alongside Democrats. Moreso, Bernie Sanders is rather too extreme left wing for the mainstream Democrats who do not want to stay idly by and watch as Bernie Sanders drags their middle of the centre party off the cliff and into a full blown socialism cum communism. So, call it the fear of Bernie Sanders if you like, but there is something about Bernie that indeed scares the Democrats so much that they are not prepared to risk their presidential candidacy with him.
ICHEOKU says but watching Joe Biden's first campaign stop today in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and hearing him say "folks, if I’m going to be able to beat Donald Trump in 2020, it’s going to happen here", suggests that he has already obtained the assurances of the party honchos that he will be the party's nominee in 2020. He steadily speaks and acts like a man who has been told not to worry about Bernie Sanders and the other wanna be presidential candidates; and should concentrate his attacks on President Donald John Trump. ICHEOKU says how could this be possible without him first vanquishing other contenders including Bernie Sanders, before fixing his eyes on the president, except he has been assured of the nomination of the party. A guy who is playing fairly and within the same set of rules, should by now be talking about taking on the other candidates who are also gunning for the ticket and explaining why he is the best of them all. But instead, he is already talking and acting as if he is the CHOSEN ONE and that Bernie Sanders and others do not exist or are no contenders and stand no chance whatsoever at clinching the nomination.
Anyway, Joe Biden will definitely present the least resistance to President Donald John Trump reelection 2020 effort. He is frail, tired, old and looking so worn out and will not withstand the rigors of a nearly two year long running presidential campaign. Also, he is part of the Barack Obama lackluster presidency which dug America into the hole which President Donald John Trump is laboring to dig it out of. So, with nothing new under his belt, except the rehash of what Americans have since rejected and moved on from, it is going to be another Hillary Clinton experience come November 3, 2020. ICHEOKU says the question now is whether Bernie Sanders will allow the Democrats to once again shaft him by denying him his moment in the sun to fly the Democratic Party's presidential flag; otherwise head or tail, Biden or Sanders, Trump wins 2020.
The president succinctly captured this essence when he tweeted “I’m only here because of Biden & Obama. They didn’t do the job and now you have Trump, who is getting it done – big time!” Further, Trump defeated the person who defeated Sanders in the primaries, so both silver haired grandpas are very weak candidates and they will stand no chance squaring up with President Donald John Trump come 2020. Why they are running is beyond ICHEOKU, but at least Bernie Sanders has a strong motivated base and he has more energy than Joe Biden and is in all fairness a better candidate than Joe Biden, the two compared. But Bernie Sanders must strive not to allow the Democrats National Committee to once again steal the nomination by pushing him aside again. At least not this time, definitely the last chance he will ever get at running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, his advanced old age considered. Go Bernie.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
