JOE BIDEN FINALLY WINS: BUT NOT ON HIS OWN MERIT.
ICHEOKU says will not read much into the South Carolina's Joe Biden victory until he confirms on Super Tuesday that the South Carolina's victory was not a flash in the pan, by winning resoundingly. Joe Biden won South Carolina because black voters often vote as told, either by their pastor or their political leader. A sort of herd mentality, where everyone tows the line drawn by their dear leader and as in this case, Jim Clyburn, who said it is Joe and Joe it was, no questions asked. Joe Biden therefore did not win through his own grit and merit, but was carried on the shoulders of Jim Clyburn through the finish line. In fact his victory was technically a cheating as Jim Clyburn gave Joe Biden undue advantage over other candidates in South Carolina.
The Congressman reputed as The Godfather of South Carolina Democratic Party's politics in fact won and secured the victory for Joe Biden, a kind of bequest, bestowed on Joe Biden by the Democratic Party's establishment's representative, Jim Clyburn. So what will Joe Biden do in the Super Tuesday States without a Jim Clyburn or any other local dream-maker to help save Joe by carrying Joe through the finish line. This is where the 64 thousand dollar question is and only Joe Biden's performance on Super Tuesday can supply the needed answer to this question. ICHEOKU says is not hopeful that Joe Biden will do wonderfully very well on Tuesday because Joe Biden lacks fire in his belly to achieve victories on his own and his campaign might likely implode after the Super Tuesday's results are all tallied for lack of viability going forward.
ICHEOKU is emphatic that until Joe Biden can prove on Super Tuesday that he has the capacity to do it on his own, his victory in South Carolina is but superficial and whatever momentum generated, tenuous. It was a victory handed to him and not one, well merited and rightly earned by him. Without the endorsement of the Democratic Party establishment, represented by Congressman Jim Clyburn, Joe Biden could possibly have lost South Carolina to Bernie Sanders and other candidates. But black voters were told to fall in line behind the establishment's candidate Joe Biden and they obeyed by casting their ballots for him. ICHEOKU says thought that slavery and ownership of human beings ended a long time ago, but seemingly not in South Carolina, where people still obey as instructed and voted for a man whose better days are since over.
How can any South Carolina voter, who voted for Joe Biden, say in good faith, that he or she voted for the most qualified among the candidates. A man whose memory lost is now subject of embarrassment and who could not even remember where he is at any given time, yet this is the man South Carolinas voted for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. It does not make sense and it never did make sense; except that South Carolinas showed that they have no independent minds of their own nor the capability to make an honest assessment of the candidates, but only voted as instructed. Voted Joe Biden for what reason, to have a zombie president in the White House, whose presidency will be hijacked by some interest groups like Nigeria's current presidency with a zombie president. Anyway, lets see how old Joe Biden performs in Super Tuesday States and until then, ICHEOKU will reserve congratulations on the South Carolina victory.
It is also disingenuous to call for other candidates to drop out from the primaries race just because Joe Biden finally won a State. Nobody called for Joe Biden to drop out when he lost three consecutive primaries preceding his current South Carolina victory, so why the call that others should drop out. Joe Biden only just won one primaries with South Carolina and so did Pete Buttigieg with Iowa; and Bernie Sanders is on top of them all by winning two primaries in New Hampshire and Nevada; and is very likely to widen the gap on Super Tuesday. ICHEOKU says let each candidate determine when to throw in the towel and on their own accord, without being bullied or pressured out of the competition. The alien from Space Tom Steyer decided to call it quits after South Carolina, so let others determine what their respective thresholds will be.
ICHEOKU says as we wait to see how Super Tuesday will play out, Bernie Sanders must not succumb to the pressure of the Democratic Party's establishment to surrender his inevitable nomination to Joe Biden. Their argument that Joe Biden is the only candidate that could beat President Donald John Trump is a farce, as the same argument was made in 2016 for awarding the nomination to Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton and everyone knows how it turned out. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate with impassioned followers and he must be ready to run as an independent third party candidate, should the Democratic Party take away his nomination. ICHEOKU says may the tag of inevitability be affixed on a candidate on Super Tuesday, so that American people can begin their compare and contrast immediately as they head towards November 3rd, 2020.
