I think that during his interview this morning Biden should've said "sure" to the idea of having the records at University of Delaware searched for references to Reade when Mika Brzezinski asked him about that this morning.

If I had to bet right now I'd bet it won't cost him anyway. It's not like Trump can claim the high ground on this one. But I think the smart thing to do would've been to say "sure."
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Trump can't claim the high ground but I don't think Trump looks like as much of a hypocrite as Biden.

IMO that's the most honest response a "me too" supporter could give. It's kind of refreshing and it's considerably better than any rationalization given by Pelosi and others supporting Biden or the defenses of grab'em by the pussy, Stormy Daniel, etc.

Absolutely, they should quit tap dancing around the subject and just go ahead and own it.

The Religious Right did...
They admitted Trump was a whore mongering troglodyte - but he was going to give them seats at the adult table
the one thing the conservative Christian Right wanted more than the moral high ground itself - to be treated like adults

That’s what I love about this-

It literally has everything...

Hypocrisy

Loss of faith (this is one of my favorites... like a cathedral collapsing on the heads of the faithful)

Sanctimony put in its place

SILENT DEMOCRATS (found something to shut them up)

But most importantly, people who quizzically asked “how can Christians vote for Trump” are about to answer their own question in real time at the ballot box

Maybe we are on the road to the adults being in charge again one day (but doubtful)

You know how people get suspicious that homophobes are actually closet gays? I think we need a similar rule for #MeToo men.

I completely agree
and I kinda like how this has a Shakespearean "all are punished" plot twist
there can be no winner with any plausible outcome

I think that we need to assume that every old white man over 70 has groped women at sometime in their life. The upcoming election has always been about the lesser of 2 evils.....just like the 2016 Election....right Conks? ;)

Never have. Just pointing out the idiotic hyperbole of your own post.

The big difference is that the Republicans squashed additional inquiry. They clearly were not interested in investigating the situation. The Demcorats are not doing that. Now, Biden himself should go ahead and say "knock yourselves out" with respect to the University of Delaware materials. I think it's pretty reasonable to think there is nothing incriminating in them since Biden donated the materials.

But the Democrats are not behaving in the "cut the investigation off and don't pursue additional leads" manner that the Republicans did.

Not the same at all because there is reasonable doubt about whether or not the one allegation we are talking about (the Reade allegation) about Biden is true. Christians voting for Trump have a lifetime of Trump behavior to look at. They have stuff like that Access Hollywood video with him behaving like he behaved without any doubt about it. They have countless instances of him being demonstrated to have lied. There is absolutely no doubt that he cheated on his wives repeatedly. They spent decades saying that character matters in a President and now they're saying it doesn't.

It actually is reasonable for Democrats to say they don't know that Biden did what Reade accused him of. It is not reasonable for White Evangelical Christians to say Trump isn't what Trump is.
