Biden’s looming cash crunch
The Politico ^ | October 4, 2019 | Natasha Korecki

‘Biden looks like he can’t compete with Warren, Bernie and Buttigieg. How’s he going to compete with Trump?’ said one GOP strategist.

Joe Biden’s middling $15.2 million third-quarter fundraising haul is raising fresh questions about whether the former vice president’s campaign can withstand a new onslaught of Republican ad attacks while simultaneously waging a battle for the Democratic nomination.

Biden’s campaign has long framed his candidacy around the idea that he can beat Trump in a head-to-head contest, particularly in the battleground states that were central to Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.

But Biden’s polling numbers in the Democratic primary have declined in recent months, and his fundraising has also lagged — he collected $7 million less between July and the end of September than in the second quarter.

His latest fundraising round was more than $9 million behind his closest rival in the polls — Elizabeth Warren. His total also ran well behind Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders.

Lol! Can you imagine Donald Trump Jr. doing all that?

It would be non-stop media coverage and the democRATS hounding Trump and his son day and night.

Oh....wait. That's what's already happening and Trump and his son haven't done anything nefarious like Biden and his loser son. Funny how that works.

Disagree. She has no chance of winning and she knows it but it will be her insurance policy against being indicted.

Correct on the likely Clinton involvement in the 2 birds with one shot move. I believe she is going to back Warren.

If he was smart, he’d dropout and us the cash for the lawyers he’s going to need.

What do you think her price will be?

Clinton's never do anything for free. I suspect a position for Chelsea and immunity for all her crimes.

It’s going to be Warren as the nominee.

The price will be Chelsea getting a high position, maybe even a cabinet post....and the Clinton Foundation re-opens.
