To the editor:

A sitting president was the selected candidate of the Democratic Party. He won the needed number of primaries and delegates. He suddenly announces his decision not to seek re-election.

The sitting president consistently stated that he was committed to running. That he would campaign with full vim, vigor and mental acuity regardless of rumors of any current health or physical issues. Those rumors were contrary to all statements rendered by many elected officials, media elites, Hollywood stars, cabinet members, the vice president and his press secretary.

The president’s primary mission in continuing his campaign was to fight for Democracy and to continue his agenda based upon his claimed outstanding accomplishments during his three-and-a-half years in office.

Why the coup?

One national debate seen by millions of Americans, including elected officials, media elites, Hollywood stars, VP, etc., shocked the country. The President had a “bad night.” OMG! What now? Were they all surprised, or were they part of a cover-up? Regardless, the president won the delegates to be nominated at the Democratic National Convention. He intended to fulfill his campaign promises.

Now, the Democratic Party became un-democratic. The Democrats’ power-hungry elites and those who wagged the president’s tail during the past three-and-a-half years panicked. Elected officials, media elites, Hollywood stars and others started an enormous pressure to coerce, their nominee to step aside and not seek re-election. He could do it the easy way, or the hard way, as one member of Congress may have said.

Apparently, Democrat elites eat their own!

What the Democrat elites and the Democrat Party demonstrate, is a true lack of democracy.

The obvious attack on democracy is perpetrated by the Democrat Party and their coup anointed far-left candidate for president.

For true democracy, common sense, vote Republican!
