The better candidates chose not to run, and one of them was not chosen, so we are stuck with Biden.
Several better candidates ran, and some were doing quite well until South Carolina. Why a state that will never vote for a Democrat in the General Election should decide the candidate for the rest of us is still a mystery to me.
I suspect that the powers that be decided they would rather win for sure with an establishment candidate than let Bernie hang around. It had nothing to do with letting the people make a choice.
The powers that be gathered around Biden and endorsed him, but the people still made the choice.
No other candidate that ran besides Sanders could have defeated Donald Trump, at least not until now when he seems to be really blowing it. After New Hampshire and Iowa, Sanders and Biden kept the others at bay and they had no chance.
But it was strange that all Biden needed in order to win the nomination was a big win in South Carolina. Certainly, it was a bigger win than expected.
