DES MOINES -- 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.
“If he came in fourth, yeah, that could hurt,” said Bill Freeman, a Biden donor from Nashville, Tennessee, who added that he hadn’t even considered such a possibility heading into Monday’s caucuses. “That’s a bad night, no matter how you spin it.”

Impeachments have consequences.

Can’t imagine why people wouldn’t support and old white guy who molests his granddaughter on stage. That is just plain creepy. Always has been.
A tired old guy who can’t remember who he is and what he stands for.

Remember the Ukraine. its Joe’s Chappaquidick
the state media will double down on a protective bubble surrounding any democrat running for president. State media didn’t even vet a foreign national who actually won two presidential elections.
Biden will probably face bribery charges eventually in Trump’s second term

Why did Slow Joe run in the first place?
He is a THIEF and should do some very long jail time

How about if he actually comes in fifth place when the Dem Iowa caucus votes are fully counted, in mid-June?
Quid-Pro-Quo Joe Takes Home Vaunted Participation Ribbon From Iowa Caucus
You knew this guy was aiming low when he came out with that ridiculous “No Malarkey Bus Tour.” I don’t know anyone younger than 85 who even knows what “malarkey” even means.
Does the AP have anybody who can write their own articles?
Biden has never made it past New Hampshire in his previous attempts. Coming in 5th in Iowa was the highest he ever finished there.
What about the lie about ‘enthusiasm’? When are Bill Barrow and Brian Slodyko gonna make an excuse for that BS?
