DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Joe Biden's third presidential bid enters a critical stretch after a disappointing finish in the Iowa caucuses sent the former vice president on to New Hampshire with a skittish donor base, low cash reserves and the looming threat of billionaire rival Michael Bloomberg and his unlimited personal wealth.
In New Hampshire on Tuesday, Biden insisted he had a “good night” in Iowa even as he trailed the top moderate candidate, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and the leading progressive, Bernie Sanders, according to initial returns from 71% of precincts. Biden was running fourth, close to Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who just days ago polled in single digits.
That leaves some establishment Democrats, including some Biden supporters, questioning his contention that he'll reclaim clear front-runner status in the race against President Donald Trump once the primary fight moves beyond overwhelmingly white Iowa and New Hampshire to more racially diverse electorates. And it's a reminder of how Biden's previous presidential campaigns never advanced beyond Iowa.

establishment?
those whom actually control the DS determined
that with the peachment-Hoax-exposed,
the pawning-bragging biden was expendable.
I’m guessing the DS has figured that JB is so battered that he may not be a useful puppet for their scams anymore. They need a YES man that doesn’t ask questions.
Had forgotten he’d never made it out of Iowa before.
A "good" night can ONLY mean one thing: No new talk of hairy legs, squeezing near the breasts of little girls, sniffing kids hair or kissing grandkids on the lips. Actually, a Great night for him, to not be in the outrage in the news for one night.
Hey Joe, can you make it two nights in a row?
He's struggling to make the minimum 15% threshold.
I bet Quid Pro Joe got less than 15 percent and came in 5th. So it was rigged to get at least the 15 percent needed for a delegate.

I believe that you are exactly right.
Biden’s insistence he had a good night (after having the most disastrous night of a Democratic front-runner in decades) just reinforced one simple fact:
The man is senile!
So does New Hampshire finish him off?
Buttplug’s a moderate? Oh...forgot...Associated Press.
One thing seems to be agreed upon with voters from both sides of the aisle. Nobody likes the establishment.
Liawatha and Burnie will be the top two in NH.
Joey B simply could not connect to regular working-class Democrats in the state. It was the same Iowa problem with Hillary Clinton in 2008’s primary and the whole 2016 election.
With the snowball effect, I think Bernie can now pick up votes in Nevada, and maybe win there.
No words needed here...Joe Biden was done the day he announced he would run for POTUS in 2020. Teh man is without brains...period!!!
I posted on this very site and told ya all this nutcase is going nowhere. Why? 100% Empty Suit!!! I was 100% right on!!!
Hey Joek,the aviator sunglasses don’t work no more. Unless your crashing and burning in your campaign plane.
“Top moderate candidate Bootiejudge”? Yahoo news thinks Bootiejudge is a moderate. Holy cow.
But they weren’t shaken by the senior moments, fondling, or revelations about Ukraine?
In their book, moderate probably means anyone to the right of Bernie and Chief Shooting Bull. That would include just about anyone in the country.
