The worst news for Joe Biden Tuesday had nothing to do with the debate
CNN ^ | Oct 16, 2019 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN)Just as Joe Biden -- and the rest of the 11 Democratic contenders -- were rounding the final turn in the fourth presidential debate on Tuesday night, a bombshell dropped.

No, not on the stage in Westerville, Ohio. All the way back in Washington, DC, where reports detailing how much each of the candidates raised, spent and most importantly have left in the bank began to land at the Federal Election Commission.

And the bombshell was this: Joe Biden, the former vice president of the United States and the 2020 Democratic front-runner from the day he entered the race officially in the spring, ended September with less than $9 million in the bank after spending more money than he raised in the previous three months.

SIREN.

Then consider this: Biden's total cash on hand is less than all of his main rivals for the Democratic nomination, including even California Sen. Kamala Harris ($10.5 million) who has dropped precipitously in polling over recent months. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ($33.7 million) has more than three times more left to spend than Biden, while Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ($25.7 million) and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg ($23.4 million) have well more than double Biden's total.

DOUBLE SIREN.

I also read the Trump has a 32% approval rating from blacks which is sky high & 2X above any previous GOP Pres candidate. Dems cannot win w/o them.

Bernie (33 mil) won’t be spending much money, he just wants to pocket as much as possible.

The debates were supposed to churn up enthusiasm among Democratic voters. I’d say it was doing the exact opposite. I’ll go and predict that the total number of Democrats who vote in the 2020 primary system, will be only 80-percent of those who showed up in 2016.

MASSIVE voter fraud will more than cover any black votes lost.

Biden and Warren are the two top polling candidates in the dem primaries.
That’s all either needs to get to the decider. Sanders in distant 3rd.

What would anyone expect. He’s worked for the government for the last half century. Fiscal Discipline in the government is an oxymoron. You simply spend whatever you want to spend. Besides that, he’s also a true fit with the last half of the word oxymoron, too.

He’s fading. He and his family have been exposed for massive corruption, his cash is drying up and his growing senility is becoming more apparent daily.

Bernie is ancient and just had a heart attack.

It will be Squaw Grey Beaver. Trump will thrash her and have a blast doing it.

I believe the 32% approval rating you've cited is among black MEN only.

It's still high, but it does translate to less than a 20% approval rating among blacks overall.

If you were to add all that money up being wasted on the campaigns, just think how it could be used for something worthwhile.

I hope that President Trump tweets out something like

“I hear that ‘Quid Pro Quo’ Biden is running low on money. Maybe his bag-boy Hunter can bail him out?”
