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.

Pop the corn!!
Biden, the confused and dazed old man staggering from loss to loss!
Buttgiggity is benefitting from the party not wanting Bernie to be the nominee.
Biden is finished and everybody knows it but Joe.
I hope Jill breaks it to him gently.
Have they released the final Iowa Caucus Results yet?
Last I heard it was 71% Reporting. Must be a Jethro Bodine like ciphering issue.
Biden hits Sanders, Buttigieg as he seeks reach-around from Iowa
Fixed that for ya, AP.
Yeah. Born in the younger part of the 1900s :-)
If in the unlikely event that Pete Buttigieg were elected President I reserve the right to henceforth refer to him as “President Buttf**k”
That is all.
Jethro could have done all the ciphering on his fingers and toes by now.
Bide hitting on ButtFag? I dont wanna know this..
Pop the corn Cornpop.
So the Corruptocrat Party has imploded before our eyes, and the largest
remaining parts of its constituency are the sexual deviants and the communists?
And now, for the Corruptocrats to keep their control, they have to destroy
both the perverts AND the Commies?
It almost sounds like too much winning!
Five dollars says Biden calls Buttigieg some antiquated anti-gay slur on the stump by the South Carolina primary.
Waiting for Slow Joe to give Buttplug a sniff
I understand that Sanders has his eye on another lakeside mansion...
A retired Black woman I know at my apartment house actually voted for Biden over Obama in the 2008 state primary.
Clintoon made a similar mistake in 2008.
It will be far easier to “infer” the meaning of a comment from Joe and have it clear around the world in seconds in 2020 if they need it.

Perhaps Biden could get some inspiration from the old Monty Python Bruce skit:
The seven faculty rules at the University of Woolloomooloo:
1. No poofters.
2. No member of the faculty is to maltreat the “Abos” in any way whatsoeverif there’s anyone watching.
3. No poofters.
4. I don’t want to catch anyone not drinking in their room after lights out.
5. No poofters.
6. There is no rule six.
7. No poofters.
