MANCHESTER, N.H. — Jill Biden made an impromptu visit on Monday morning to Joe Biden’s main field office. She thanked a group of 15 volunteers for working to get out the vote, in rain and snow.
Judi Lanza, a volunteer from New Hampshire, waited to take a photo with Jill. She started to cry as she stood next to the former second lady, who asked if she was OK. Minutes after Jill left, Lanza stood alone at the back of the office.
“I’m a little worried,” she said, her voice shaking. “We can only get nervous as it gets closer. The big thing is we’ve just got to stay strong.”
Lanza wasn’t the only worried Biden campaign volunteer.
More than a dozen volunteers in New Hampshire told Yahoo News they didn’t expect the former vice president to win the primary. Some hoped for second place or at least third. Instead, the onetime frontrunner of the Democratic primary captured less than 9% of the vote. He was fourth in Iowa, now fifth in New Hampshire.
About 150 people showed up to Biden’s primary night event in Nashua. He spoke via live stream to a subdued crowd that paled in comparison to the jubilant celebrations for Sanders and Buttigieg.
Lanza attended the event with other volunteers from the Manchester office. Around 9:30, it became clear that Biden wasn’t moving up from fifth place. She again began to cry, but she said she wasn’t worried. He can win Nevada, then South Carolina, then Super Tuesday.
“It hurts,” she said. “But you just pick up your bootstraps and you go on and forge ahead.”
The ballroom soon emptied; the music turned off well before the winner was called. Just on the other side of Nashua, Buttigieg supporters cheered as he gave a celebratory speech.

“But you just pick up your bootstraps and you go on and forge ahead.”
NO YOU CAN NOT!
AOC says this is impossible.
Lol, I was just going to post that.
“It hurts,” she said. “But you just pick up your bootstraps and you go on and forge ahead.”
Honey, don’t tell AOC, she’ll bust your balls.
I think everybody who meant the man knew his low level functionality. He’s buying time, I think, by being out in front. Those behind him are working to hide illegal activities
The article goes on to describe Joe’s visit with the ladies on The View this morning. It was similar to reading a description of somebody’s memorial service. The gals did their level best to underhand pitch Joe easy questions that would yield important sounding answers, but he swung and he missed every time. Sometimes, he didn’t even take a swing at all. The ball whizzed right over his head.
I liked his logo. :)
Biden has more or less been running for President since 1988. He has never finished higher than 4th in a primary. Too many unforced errors.
Lanza must not have received the memo. AOC said you can't literally pick yourself up from your bootstraps, so why are people still using that metaphor?
Corn Pop will ride again!

I’m more than a little worried. That there are actual human beings on earth that think Biden is important in any way.
I find that very worrisome.
