It *sounds* like the Democrats are trying to avoid an open convention, like
they had in 1968, by getting the existing Biden delegates to back Kamala.
Kentucky's delegation announced their endorsement yesterday, and other
states are doing the same.

Back in LBJ's days, I am not sure about foreign billionaires interfering,
but the domestic military-industrial complex (that still interferes today)
was fully operational by then.
