    What’s the revelation? Did anyone think there weren’t establishment/conservative Democrats who supported Biden because they didn’t want Bernie to win? That’s both not anything that was ever in question and not even anything nefarious.

      I think the insinuation is that Biden wasn’t picked by the Dem establishment because he would be great at the general, but because he would be great at foiling Bernie in the primary. The whole thing is that the Dem establishment’s priorities are such that they would rather lose to Trump than Bernie.
