Obama donors flock to Biden with little Clinton crossover
Washington Examiner ^ | 8-28-2015 | Susan Crabtree

Top donors to President Obama's two national campaigns are galvanizing around a potential run by Joe Biden, and those bundlers and givers have little crossover with donors supporting Hillary Clinton's presidential run, according to top fundraisers for the Draft Biden committee and other veteran strategists backing Biden.

Jon Cooper, an Obama bundler who is now the finance chairman of the Draft Biden Committee 2016 super PAC, says he's been inundated with phone calls and interest in the last few weeks and has assembled a national finance team of bundlers and donors from coast to coast.

(snip)

Many of the donors are former Obama bundlers, Cooper said, although he acknowledged hearing from some that had previously committed to Clinton but are now changing their minds.

But, he argued, a Biden presidential campaign wouldn't have to rely on coaxing over more Clinton donors, noting that out of 820 top Obama donors, only 51 have committed to Clinton.

That's news to me. So where do those formidable Clinton machine/cash come from? Her charitable Clinton Foundation?

Do those top Obama donors wait for Obama's nod?

Anyway, keep in mind this is from a Draft Biden camp.

It is not a good sign when your party does its darnedest to vote for anybody but you.

Hillary Clinton said to have multiple sclerosis; a stroke risk
August 21, 2015

Yesterday, Aug. 20, 2015, a brief online article of National Enquirer claims that:

With her 2016 presidential campaign in full swing, Hillary Clinton is hiding two shocking health secrets – multiple sclerosis and a series of strokes!

In a bombshell exclusive, The National ENQUIRER has learned the 67-year-old Democratic front-runner is suffering from the early stages of the debilitating disease MS.

What’s more, sources said the medical troubles could prevent her from ever making it to the Oval Office!

4:00PM today becomes "Clinton Day", the traditional day to dump all bad news, documents, leaks, and con jobs to the media in response to their shenanigans for the week.

Any bets?

You mean another >50,000 pages of emails for FBI to sort through? Or the document dump more related to Obama bad news?

Either case, I won’t take your bet.

No surprise, really.

Obama was elected by a strong anti-Clinton faction. That faction still is working against Clinton.

Most Obama donors would flock to whomever The One annoints as his potential successor.

Of course, after the nominee is determined, donors will likely donate to that person, just like business interests do, to keep their foot in the door for future access.

Biden supposedly will not announce his decision until the end of September. That is a lifetime in national politics. Many things could happen. Hillary supposedly has some serious health issues. What did Biden and Fauxahauntus agree to? If Biden says ‘no’, will the Indian Princess take up the banner?

I didn’t want to mix my TV metaphors, but I was thinking of Al Bundy: “My eyes! My eyes!”

If Biden is the nominee, I'm hoping his eventual Republican opponent will make full use of all the creepy pictures and videos of Biden "getting friendly" with underage boys and girls. If it's Trump, I think I'll get my wish. Anyone else? Not so sure.

Most of all, I hope I don't get to hear Yeb telling me not to fear a Biden presidency.

Question is - Does Warren have potus ambition, NOW?

On her own, she’s a lightweight without the fabricated Obama exotic background. She needs to hitch her wagon to Biden and run the team as Obama 3rd term. Boy, that must have galled Buraq/Michelle Obama to no end. We heard Obama boasting he could easily win a 3rd term if he wants to.

Is Warren nurturing good will (at least not to antagonize the Clinton crowd) for the long run?

Great news. I hope the rest of the Democrats get behind that loose cannon.
