CNN: Deep-Pocket Dem Establishment Donors About To Rescue Biden
Hot Air ^ | October 24, 2019 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 10/25/2019 8:22:14 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Nothing resonates in a populist era better than [checks notes] a bunch of wealthy elites propping up a 47-year veteran of the Beltway. To be fair, Joe Biden has stated publicly that he doesn’t want help from super-PACs to campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. However, Biden’s overall fundraising incompetence has Democratic institutional donors worried about whether Biden can make it to the finish line financially, CNN reports:

On top of all that, the act of forming the super-PAC all but confirms what two previous presidential campaigns have proven about Biden: he’s not a good candidate. Biden has never been good about raising funds and continually sticks his foot in his mouth. The latter quality has been increasingly on display, along with a growing sense that Biden’s time has long since passed. Add to that the obvious desperation to prop him up by the same establishment that tried to rig Hillary Clinton’s nomination four years ago and you have a monumental populist crisis about to hit the Democratic Party.

We might need a super-PAC just to pay for all the popcorn.

I thought deep pocket people had deep pockets because they were more responsible with their money than that. I’m really confused here.

This is actually NOT a good look for Biden. Being beholden to the deep-pocket Wall Street "fat cat" and entertainment industry crowd shows how really out of touch the Democratic Party is nowadays.

Go ahead you Beltway morons.... burn up all your money on a complete idiot with botox and plugs and criminal shakedown of a foreign government as vice president.

Waste it all..... and be sure to let the mouthpiece of the deep staters who WANT them to give money, as the deep state loses, yep.... CNN the last gasps.

Next. Removal of CNN contracts with all airports—60% of their “estimated” “audience” to justify idiotic ad rates-— GONE. And CNN... bankrupt.

Seems to me we recently had a Presidential candidate who had money streaming in from donors at record levels.

He got ONE electoral vote.

Right, Jeb!?

Actually I think Biden is the perfect dope to lead that party of stupid. Who does he put in for vp, Hitlery? No, unless he wants to be arkancided. Hitlery had a money advantage over the GOP last election by quite a bit and she lost. Biden is such a dope, he would get clobbered by Trump. In fact, the rest of the party may think that running Biden saves whatever they have left on their bench for being run out of town. Biden ensures that Hitlery is not going to surface anywhere either. Biden and whom ever else they wish to get rid of.

Barring a Civil-War-inciting act, Trump is going to win in 2020, and the Dems know it. The question is not who will be on the top of the ticket, but who will be the VP candidate. My guess is that it will be Tulsi Gabbard, and she will be groomed for 2024 as the communist-who-looks-like-a-moderate, which is how the Dems won in 1992 and 2008.

CNN REPORTS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE: Deep-Pocket Dem Donors To Rescue Biden even though Biden has (cough) stated
publicly that he doesn’t want help from super-PACs .....but Biden’s overall fundraising incompetence has Democratic
institutional donors worried. So the big buck guys are apparently stepping in. (cue laugh machine here)

DO NOT BELIEVE THIS EVEN FOR A NANOSECOND. THIS IS A HUGE SCAM.
Any monies supposedly "given" Biden is money being laundered thru Super Pacs,
taken from the super-rich Biden Family's numbered accounts offshore.
Monies accrued from shakedowns.....exploiting the VP's office for personal gain.

(HAT TIP NY POST)

Joe Biden’s war chest of $8.9 million was a small fraction of what his Democrat rivals have on hand.

But Biden’s spending like there’s no tomorrow, FEC data shows. Biden’s lavish expenses include:
<><> $924,000 for private jets, about one out of every $16 raised
<><> taking in $15.7M BUT spending $17.6M during that same period.
<><>more than $20,000 at the luxury Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan;
<><> more than $14,000 at the Coronado Island Marriott in San Diego —
<><> more than $10,500 at the W Hotel in Los Angeles,
<><> big buck$ at other high-end hotels.
<><> almost $9M on payroll,
<><> $228,378 on “research consultants” and $150,400 on “strategic consultants.”

QUESTION How does a “party of the people” candidate spend $17.6M during the same period he took in $15.7M?

Only Hunter Biden knows ...cackle.

More money will only give Biden more appearances on media and in person to show that he’s not the one we want for our President.
