O Rlly? Joe fears the boy mayor.

Joe Biden is counting on his firewall of support in South Carolina to help him win the 2020 presidential nomination. But Democrats are warning that if the former vice president doesn't perform well in Iowa and New Hampshire, his lead in South Carolina could be in jeopardy.

"Savvy black voters will reassess their options," said Basil Smikle, a Democratic strategist who served as a campaign aide to 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. "Every candidate will have to remake their case to, and reaffirm their policy prescriptions for, the African American community — Biden included."
Another strategist was more direct: “The support won’t be there if he’s slipping. There’s just no way.”
But Biden allies say they’re on firm footing in the state and they don’t anticipate that changing, even if he comes in behind other candidates in one of the earlier states.
“The South Carolina firewall has proven pretty resilient because of his connection with African American voters,” one longtime ally said. “It endured the surge of other flavor-of-the-month candidates. It can certainly endure him finishing in a jumble of candidates at the top of the heap in Iowa and New Hampshire.”
“Blowout losses in one of those states would be the real test but it also matters who he’s losing to and how the rest of the field reacts to the results of Iowa and New Hampshire,” the ally added.
“If a boy mayor who has been famously unable to connect with African Americans is the hot hand coming out of Iowa, Biden’s support might even grow, because presumably by then [Sens. Kamala] Harris and [Cory] Booker will be out of the race themselves and their voters seem more likely to become Biden voters,” the ally said of Buttigieg, who has struggled to gain support among black voters.

O Rlly? Joe fears the boy mayor.
Jill must be so proud of Joe and Hunter.
My wife’s extended SC family will be there for Creepy Uncle Joe.
Also, when's Hunter and Mellisa going to go be made a visible part of the campaign?
Joe won't even show Hunter in the family Thanksgiving photo. The Bidens are
scared.
I'd bet she lived high on the hog off of the cash idiot Joe skimmed over the years.
‘
There are more stories out there on Humper.
Stories of him living large off Biden donors, is the concern for Biden advisers.
‘
I wonder if she actually knew what Joe was doing, or was just a happy, blissfully ignorant dope about financial matters.
Well she is married to Joe, so she has already proven the ignorant dope part, but I believe she's supposed to be some sort of a professor, so you'd expect some intelligence.
Congratulations, Jill Biden, on becoming a grandmother to a child of a stripper that was unwanted by your drug-infused son!
Dead Plugs Walking.
A professor of education. Let’s not read too much into that.
That’s DOCTOR Jill LMAO! She’s so smart ,that she knows nothing that goes on around her and props the Biden scum up.
For what is is worth, we just cruised down the ICW from Myrtle Beach to Hilton Head. Didn’t see any Bite-me anythings, but, saw many Trump 2020 flags, signs and banners along the way.
Biden’s just another corruptoid. And a loser par excellence. The D’s need a viable candidate. desperately. Expect a new face soon
I, for one, stopped expecting intelligence from professors several years ago.
There is what I guess is the slo-joe local headquarters in downtown Columbia.
Apart from that, no much else. Some Tulsi signs here and there.
Except Biden is running for 3030 election.
