Biden His Time
According to the WSJ, Biden is worried that his post-announcement fundraising haul is going to look puny compared to Beto and Bernie, so he is rounding up big money donors.
But the story could well be a hatchet job by the WSJ, because there is nothing Dem primary voters want less than an old school candidate who is captive of the finance and banking industry.
Neoliberal; a cautionary tale

Joe is caught between a rock and a very hard place. If he takes the corporate money he is sending the wrong signal. If he don’t he is shafted. He should just quit by saying he’s not running. But no, his ego is to big for that. He will just man up and go through the humiliation and drop out in less then 90 days. Being long in the tooth is a terrible thing but shit happens.
When Bernie Sanders was in his thirties, he was fighting “to create a situation in which working people take what rightfully belongs to them.”
When Joe Biden was in his thirties, he was fighting against efforts to racially integrate public schools.
Unlike Some People, Bernie Hasn’t “Evolved”
