In their desperate attempt to lure big dollar donors and keep their campaigns afloat, these candidates are all relying on the belle of the ball – Joe Biden — to save them.
Biden has been making the rounds on President Obama’s behalf, trying to push handpicked candidates onto donors. Recently, he was summoned to Cincinnati for a private fundraiser for failed former Governor Ted Strickland. Despite Biden’s best efforts to boost retread Ted’s campaign with a $500 ticket fee, Ohioans weren’t fooled. Protestors gathered outside the event to object to Strickland and his support of the harmful policies coming from the Obama administration.

That same week Biden jetted off to South Florida in attempts to help legitimize Democratic candidate Patrick Murphy. Privileged Patrick rounded up some of his wealthiest friends for a private party with Biden, making sure to tout his recent endorsements from President Obama and the VP.
Primary opponent, Alan Grayson, commented on Murphy’s desperate pageantry.
"’We have a situation where Patrick has the best endorsements that money can buy,’ Grayson charged. ‘We have many, many, many cases now of Patrick buying his endorsements, and corrupting the political system. In much the same way that he’s been corrupted by money … Patrick’s vote is for sale and he systematically tracks down other elected officials whose endorsements are for sale.’"
Still, Biden can’t stay in the lap of Murphy’s luxury for too long because he’s needed in Colorado.
Senator Michael Bennet plans to host another private fundraiser with perennial guest of honor Joe Biden.
This does not come as a huge surprise considering Bennet has a history of aligning himself with the Obama agenda – no questions asked. He’s voted with Obama and Biden 98% of the time, including on the Iran Deal and Guantanamo Bay, even though it would only put Coloradans in in danger. Bennet is hoping his donors are too blinded by his Washington celebrity to remember that.
Now, it looks like Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate Katie McGinty is employing the same tactic with her shiny new endorsement from Obama and Biden. The president is clearly trying to put as many puppets in the Senate as he can before he leaves the White House. He’s sent Biden around the country to do his bidding, and we’re guessing Pennsylvania is next.
Obama is looking to leave a legacy, and his first target seems to be the Senate. Click below to help us stop his liberal legacy.
