Alot of big dem donors are sitting out because they dont believe Hillary or Bernie can win the whitehouse. They want biden to jump in.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A prominent Democratic donor worried about the party's chances of winning the presidency emailed dozens of fans of Vice President Joe Biden on Friday, urging them to remain prepared to donate if Biden jumps into the race.
The donor, Bill Bartmann, cited new polling showing Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont nearly tied with the Hillary Clinton, eroding the 30-point lead the former secretary of state held at the end of last year. Bartmann and other party insiders are concerned that Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, is too far to the left to win against a Republican in the Nov. 8 presidential election.
"We cannot afford to lose the White House," Bartmann wrote in the email, seen by Reuters.
The email drew a string of affirmative responses, also seen by Reuters.
Biden announced in October that he would not seek the presidency, despite support from a group of backers under the name "Draft Biden 2016." But whispers have continued among some donors who hope that Biden could be convinced to run after all should Clinton’s campaign prove fruitless.

As if there's not enough worry about Bernie's supporters not supporting Hillary at the end of the primary process.

To pull Biden in because Bernie's vision is proving to be more compelling than Hillary's? That would be a humongous risk.

This election may see many people from both parties sitting it out. I don't know how I feel about a Biden bid.

Bill Bartmann CEO of the Debt Collection agency CF52 who had to file for bankruptcy for massive fraud ?

Sounds like a Rove operative.

Biden would run, if Hillary gets indicted! As a counter to only Bernie being left as candidate. Biden is another shill for the Hillary Wall Street gang.

And to insure success, Bloomberg will run on a 3hd party ticket to siphon votes from Bernie!(Like Ralph Nader did before, to get Bush elected!)

The whole system is RIGGED to get Wall Street and corporate interests in!!!!

Biden is a nut. But a great nut. He would be much better than the clowns currently up for the (D)s.

I'm not so sure. Biden is pretty much considered a joke.

Besides, he recently came out and said that he's not going to get in now. It's too late for him.
