The worst news for Joe Biden Tuesday had nothing to do with the debate
CNN ^ | Oct 16, 2019 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN)Just as Joe Biden -- and the rest of the 11 Democratic contenders -- were rounding the final turn in the fourth presidential debate on Tuesday night, a bombshell dropped.

No, not on the stage in Westerville, Ohio. All the way back in Washington, DC, where reports detailing how much each of the candidates raised, spent and most importantly have left in the bank began to land at the Federal Election Commission.

And the bombshell was this: Joe Biden, the former vice president of the United States and the 2020 Democratic front-runner from the day he entered the race officially in the spring, ended September with less than $9 million in the bank after spending more money than he raised in the previous three months.

SIREN.

Then consider this: Biden's total cash on hand is less than all of his main rivals for the Democratic nomination, including even California Sen. Kamala Harris ($10.5 million) who has dropped precipitously in polling over recent months. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ($33.7 million) has more than three times more left to spend than Biden, while Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ($25.7 million) and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg ($23.4 million) have well more than double Biden's total.

DOUBLE SIREN.

It looks that way, he doesn’t have the horsepower to make a come back from the many stumbles. It was his to lose and it looks like he has.

But what fundraising does signal -- especially in a crowded and uncertain field with a few months left before anyone actually votes -- is momentum and organic energy.

Who is going to get excited about a candidate who mumbles his words, accomplished nothing in decades of elected office, is seen as allowing his son to make millions off his influence peddling, appears unsteady, unsure and disorientated, and finally is as inspiring as a pimple on your nose. Yes, Joe is toast, it's socialist Bernie vs. The Indian Liar with a House Speaker who is afraid to allow a vote on impeachment and that's the entirety of their campaign. Must be horrible to be on that team.

What CNN won’t tell you is that internal polling shows that Biden is the only one of the current Democrat candidates who can pull in black voters. The only way Democrats win national elections is having urban blacks turn out in droves.

What a surprise that America’s black voters aren’t falling over themselves to vote for a bitchy middle-aged Communist white woman, an arrogant white gay guy, a self-absorbed millionaire who thinks he’s Hispanic, an insane Asian Marxist, or any of those other fine choices.

“Biden is TOAST”

Some big donors holding back. If Warren gets nod, money will flow to Trump.

“after spending more money than he raised in the previous three months.”

I saw at least 3, 3rd, 4th and 5th party candidates on stage last night. Maybe a few more...if the wrong VP running mate is picked.

Screw the Media, Biden is Fried, Warren is Fried, Sanders is Fried. Take a gander at the Drudge Report “On-Line” poll numbers,... gigantic, massive winners are Tulsi Gabbard & Andrew Yang...the rest of the Democrat Scum & Vermin Humanity got from ZERO TO ZILCH!!! And...of course, we have heard nothing from Drudge or Deadline Hollywood as to how many folks tuned in on TV....we shall see later today...hopefully how many american idiots watched these buffoons in action.

The “King” gig of this week is the massive Trump Rally being held in Dallas, Texas in the American Airlines Center Arena....this coming Thursday evening, October 17, 2019!!! Forty thousand (40,000) folks expected inside and outside the Arena!!! www.donaldjtrump.com. Go....Trumpie!!!

Biden has been a disaster every single time he ran for president. He sucked when he did it in his “prime” (if he ever did have such a thing), he sucks doing it now. He just sucks. The fact that everyone knows he’s as corrupt as any other professional politician is just this time’s excuse. He’s always sucked. He always will suck.

He’s like Clayton Kershaw pitching in the playoffs...except Kershaw can be really good in the regular season, Biden has never been good at anything except corruption in his entire rancid life.

Trump has a high enough percentage of black voters to scare the democrats. The black voters for Trump will insure a Trump landslide and more democratic nightmares.
