With questions swirling about the long-term viability of his campaign, Joe Biden sharply criticized two of his top rivals on Wednesday, suggesting Sen. Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist, was unelectable, while 38-year-old Pete Buttigieg would be a risky and inexperienced choice.
The tough talk comes as Bidens third presidential bid enters a critical stretch. He needs to bounce back from what partial results suggest could be a disappointing finish in Mondays Iowa caucuses. Biden trailed Buttigieg and Sanders, according to initial returns from 71% of precincts. He 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 hell reclaim clear front-runner status in the race against Trump once the primary fight moves beyond overwhelmingly white Iowa and New Hampshire to more racially diverse electorates. And its a reminder of how Bidens 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 hadnt even considered such a possibility heading into Mondays caucuses. Thats a bad night, no matter how you spin it.

Years ago I posted that pic on thread in the old eBay forums. I got death threats from other eBayers.
Poor Joe. Watching a few clips of him, he has the far away dementia stare. If Jill really cared, she would tell him he needs to step away from politics and enjoy the few remaining years he has left while he can still recall them.
TODAY IS WEDNESDAY
THE NEXT MEAL IS DINNER
Heh. At this point, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if his campaign tries that tactic and "reminds" the audience that Buttboy takes it up the butt (especially before an audience of older RAT voters) and has the "We are SHOCKED at the backlash. Joe simply had NO IDEA that word could be interpreted as an anti-gay slur, he was referring to something else entirely. Joe has been a longtime supporter of the LGBTQ community and would never DREAM of demeaning them" excuse ready to go.
My all time favorite sleazy tactic was when the Illinois RAT party "accidentally" misspelled Green Party candidate Richard Whitney's name as "Rich Whitey" on the ballot, but ONLY in areas where the voters were predominately black.
It ain’t Buttplug he’ll be worrying about in SC.

You HAVE to be kidding!!!... OMG, that is frigging PERFECT!!!! LOL!!!!!
If Biden were wise he would not be attacking Bernie. Your voters don’t like Bernie they like the gay guy
