1. Short thread: @JoeBiden was doomed from day one. He never had any real support outside of the mainstream media. They all knew he was never a serious contender. Their goal was to prop him up just long enough that they could try to pull off their impeachment of @realDonaldTrump.
2. Remember the impeachment itself was based on the public believing that Joe Biden posed a threat to Trump and was a viable “political opponent”. Without that the entire narrative would have fallen apart.
3. Biden struggled to even draw 100 people to his events. Look at the crowd size comparison at recent events for Biden and Trump in Iowa. If the media had been honest about this, absolutely no one would have believed that Biden represented any real threat to Trump at all.
4. Sure enough, after the Iowa caucus, on the eve of the Senate’s vote to acquit Trump, the media immediately shifted all of their support from Biden to Mayor Pete before all of the results had even come in.

5. You can say that is because of Pete’s “surprising victory”, and that is possible, but I think this was likely the plan all along. As soon as the establishment had no more political use for Joe Biden they pulled out his crutches and watched him collapse in a thud.
