Is there a conspiracy to rig the primary against Bennet?

[scutosaurus]

Despite being an accomplished legislator with a sharp mind and more brilliant policy plans than any other candidate running, Michael Bennet is receiving little to no media coverage.

He has been blacklisted from the debates.

He's hardly even mentioned in lists of candidates anymore.

Is the unspoken label of Bennet as a candidate with no chance nothing more than a self-fulfilling prophecy, or is there something more sinister going on? Bennet's plans include a lifetime ban on politicians from ever becoming lobbyists and a plan to stop members of Congress from taking money from lobbyists while they are in legislative session; it's not hard to see why career politicians might have a problem with this.

So are the political elite conspiring to keep Bennet out of the White House? I think they very well might be.

As someone who has donated $1 to the Bennet campaign, the answer to your question is "no." Bennet is not getting media attention because he joined too late and does not distinguish himself from the rest of the field. If it was 1988 or 2004, Bennet would be the favorite.

If Biden had never entered the race, there may have been an opening for Bennet to run as the establishment-favored, accomplished centrist.  But with Biden running, there was never really a rationale for Bennet's candidacy.  I maintain he would have been an ideal running mate for Kamala had she won the nomination, but that's obviously a moot point.  I still think he'd be a solid choice for Treasury Secretary in any Democratic administration, though.

Yes, America wants Bennet. Every day I hear people talking about how great that Bennet is. Mark my words, as soon as Bennet crushes the primaries by double digits, he'll win a fifty state landslide.

America wants Bennet.

America needs Bennet.

America will get Bennet, no matter how hard the populist elites try to stop him.

Mark my words.

[DINGO Joe]

Yes there is.  It's being run out of a small pizzeria in DC that floated a bunch of absurd internet rumors that it was the center of a child sex ring in order to cover it's true mission.  Unless the truth is immediately revealed, it will have worked.

I get the impression that your handle is sarcastic, but my grandfather actually is "Bennet or Bust." If Bennet does not (he will not) get the Democratic nomination, both he and his wife are going to vote for Trump......and they are in a swing state.

Bennet has my full support, but I do plan to vote for the Democrat no matter who it is this November.

(or what if I just.... write in Bennet... haha just kidding!...... unless...?)

[KaiserDave]

Yes, the media blackout is real

[DrScholl]

Bennet running for President is such a joke that it's too easy to make jokes about it. What a waste of time and energy on his part.

[Ebsy]

There may be something to what you say.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Bennet is looking to get out of Senate, like Salazar he will be offered a cabinet position should Bernie win the Prez

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Yes, clearly. Michael Bennet's bold, innovative, forward-thinking agenda is clearly too far out of the mainstream for the Democratic establishment.

[Grassroots]

Why would they need to.

[libertpaulian]

I like Bennet okay, but let's face it.  America isn't going to vote for Mr. Mackey.

[Kleine Scheiße]

Bennet will be president

[Xing]

Absolutely. Without their efforts, he'd be polling at least three times higher!

[AGA]

I was supporting him at one point. I legitimately thought that he had dropped out by now.
