Wow!
Joe Biden, Bleeding Cash, Spent Nearly $1 Million on Private Jets
Per the ex-veep’s FEC data, roughly one out of every 16 dollars raised by the campaign has been spent on such aviation.

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is bleeding cash. And a big reason why appears to be an antiquated, higher-end approach to electoral politics that the former vice president has adopted.
Biden’s team spent more than $923,000 on private jets during the third quarter of 2019, according to recently filed Federal Election Commission data. The expenses, all made to the company EJCR, LLC Dba Advanced Aviation Team, represented a major chunk of change—accounting for roughly one out of every 16 dollars the campaign raised.
It’s not uncommon for candidates to lean on private jets as they crisscross the country in an effort to keep a schedule packed with speeches, rallies, and debates. But a review of Biden’s expenditures suggest that a good deal of what he’s spending money on currently involve efforts to simply raise more money.
The former vice president spent more than $230,000 on “fundraising consultants” during Q3; nearly $500,000 on direct mail; and major chunks of change on high-end hotels in cities that serve as donor hubs but aren’t centrally located in early-voting states. During the third quarter period, the Biden campaign spent more than $20,000 at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City; more than $14,000 at the Coronado Island Marriott in San Diego; more than $4,400 at the Hotel Jerome Auberge in Aspen; more than $10,500 at the W Hotel in Los Angeles, and more than $3,000 at the Sun Valley Resort in Sun Valley, Idaho.
While the campaign’s major expenses involved traditional campaign functions like payroll (which was nearly $9 million), office rentals, and digital advertising, the campaign also spent heavily on consultants—including several big-named aides.
During Q3, the Biden campaign spent $228,378 on research consultants and $150,400 on “strategic consultants.” The firm Anzalone Liszt Grove Research Inc., run by longtime Biden pollster John Anzalone, received more than $122,000 for polling. And two well-known Biden advisers, Bruce Reed and Anthony Blinken, received $35,000 and $10,500 respectively for “policy consulting.” [/COLOR]
Asked what type of policy work he was doing, Reed told The Daily Beast only: “Domestic.”
Collectively, the expenditures have taken a toll on the Biden campaign’s bottom line and raised questions about its long-term viability. Overall, Biden currently has less than $9 million cash on-hand after taking in roughly $15.7 million during Q3 and spending $17.6 million during that same period.

Re: Presidential Election 2020
:laugh: We've talked for a long time how liberal Democrats hate the military. I've been watching the liberals leave the token female vet out to dry during and after these debates. Obama and the Clintons are behind and driving all of this crappola process.
Clinton peddles bizarre claim that 2020 Dem is 'asset' being 'groomed' by Moscow for White House

Good move labeling the veteran as a foreign asset.

Voter fraud (registration) caught in Virginia. Confirmed that local democrat operatives registered 19 dead people. This occurred at an event co-sponsored by James Madison Univ. Now state dems are saying, "See! no voter fraud occurred because the 19 dead people never got the chance to actually vote." The fake registrations were caught by Republican officials when the new registrations were submitted to the county Registrar's Office.
This is like Bonnie & Clyde being caught on their way to rob a bank and then using the defense, "See! no bank robbery occurred because they never got the chance to actually rob the bank."
Voter fraud is real. Dems have been guilty of it repeatedly across the nation.

Trial? You are as stupid as you are evil.
News flash! these were Dems caught. Nothing will happen to them. The DNC will just tell them, "nice try, and please try again somewhere else."

Re: Presidential Election 2020
Beto is gone. Guess Goosey is lost now that his #1 guy is out. Kamala Harris is probably next to drop out. Her campaign is $3 million in debt, fund raising is practically non-existent, and she is closing campaign offices across the country.
Re: Presidential Election 2020
I am for mayor Pete, not Beto.
Re: Presidential Election 2020
I think Trump is praying for Warren. Pete and Biden pose bigger problems for him. I still bet Biden gets the nod. The question is whether or not he can turn out the Obama voters better than Hillary.
