HILLARY\’S MELTDOWN (CONT.)

Ken Berwitz 

The dismantling of Hillary Clinton\’s presidential campaign continues. 

Excerpted from Colleen McCain Nelson and Peter Nicolas\’s article in yesterday\’s Wall Street Journal: 

Some Hillary Clinton donors are defecting to Joe Biden, resisting entreaties from the Democratic front-runner\’s campaign to stand by her despite slipping poll numbers.

A few of the fundraisers have gone public with their presidential preference. Others have quietly decamped and signaled their intentions to the Draft Biden 2016 super PAC that is working to prod the vice president into the race for the White House.

In the meantime, the Draft Biden organization is securing commitments as the vice president\’s public standing is on the rise, while Mrs. Clinton appears more vulnerable. A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll released this week shows that Mr. Biden is running stronger than Mrs. Clinton in head-to-head match-ups against leading Republican candidates.

Marc Lasry, a billionaire hedge-fund manager who is raising funds for Mrs. Clinton\’s campaign, said he hasn\’t heard from anybody who would support Mr. Biden. “Everybody I speak to and deal with are still huge supporters of Hillary,” Mr. Lasry said.

Tick tock tick tock tick tock 

Drip drip drip drip drip drip. 

The article goes on to say that Vice President Biden may wait until after the October 13 debate before entering the race – that it is too much to simultaneously announce/start the campaign apparatus going in earnest and prepare to debate Ms. Clinton.  We\’ll see. 

But it is looking more like it\’s Joe\’s time for show time.
