Wouldn't it be better to release now while order in our government is burning and no headline really has any muster, if it's bad for Biden?
Not really?
Delaying the impact between Sanders raising $25M, Buttigieg raising $19M and even Yang raising $10M... And whatever Biden raised, benefits him trying to retain his frontrunner and electability status.
The news coverage of the actual FEC reports will probably be more muted.
I had a look at the analysis by the NYT of daily fundraising, it looked like outside of his initial announcement period he was doing about $200K a day on average, which would probably see him at $18M... But that assumes he's maintained his fundraising pace.
I expect it to be somewhere above Yang/Harris and somewhere below Buttigieg like circa $15 million or something. Weak frontrunner.
Hillary raised $30M this equivalent quarter.
Right, but just like with a lot of Hillary's shit, it's way easier to paint the "both sides" narrative even when one side technically did nothing wrong.
Compared to Obama, who made sure to avoid even the appearance of misconduct, so nothing ever struck.
We'll see if this actually sticks. I hope not, but I worry it has potential to be another "emailz"
We're talking 13 days / the day of the next debate, though. When all headlines will then be focused towards the Democratic stage. Sneaking it out now with all that's been dominating the day so far just seems like it wouldn't even be a talking point in the grand scheme of things.
But I don't work on campaigns, so I could be wrong.
The thing of it is, it's not right for Hunter to be up to that shit, dealing in corrupt foreign countries and dictatorships, voters are going to buy the narrative that Joe has *something* to do with it. Probably not anything against professional etiquette and certainly not illegal, but it's the same kind of self-dealing that we see way too much of on both sides of the aisle, even in Bernie's immediate family!
Granted, that makes me wonder if Warren's tied in with any of that, but there's also integrity in Biden coming clean about any of his involvement in Hunter's shenanigans. Just like Anthony Kennedy's kid didn't just happen to be working at Deutsche Bank.
This is no effort to draw false equivalencies, depth and degree, Trump and his family are horrible whereas the kind of soft nepotism around Biden is practically the background radiation of US politics, but that in itself is not a good thing.

Meanwhile on Fox News, still caring about things that happened 4 days ago

Sept: $26M

i know but i wanted to put that out there before i make too many "yes queen get that bussy" posts
I go weeks at a time forgetting the Pence exists, so he should be pumped for getting any media coverage at all.
yeah no shit lol, of course it was edited. it says right on that it's not even a transcript
"Why do you insist on asking why I was on the security cam footage at that art gallery breakin, when this new painting looks so good over my mantle?"
Plus it sets the tone: either countries can waltz on in and shatter candidates who'll play hardball with them, or candidates can extort countries to do that all Chekist-like like they did Zelinskyy.
Ah I wanted to share elsewhere but didnt want to steal credit
I got a selfie!! So excited, they let parents of young children go first so I actually didn't wait super long.
Finally, we parents get the respect we deserve! Glad you got a selfie!
tbh not sure you can say no to meet with the head of the NRA if you've already met with war criminals for *diplomatic* reasons
Who on gods green earth is she trying to appeal to in the Democratic primary with answers like this? Does she realize how tone deaf it is?
She's appealing to Fox News, for her upcoming contributor role, in advance of running again for POTUS as a Republican later.
I cannot wait for her to lose a primary for the presidency and subsequently a primary for her house seat and be unemployed within a year.
Edit: was trying to make a joke about a sort of entmoot with trumpers hours ago and never fully deleted it before my next post. Sorry!
