Biden rubs me the wrong way, and wasn’t one of my favorites at all. I am disappointed he won the primaries. And this sexual assault allegation is sadly plausible.
Now, if the GOP were running someone like Mitt Romney for President in 2020, Biden would be toast at this point. Dead in the water. Democrats would have to find someone new at the 11th hour, and it would be super embarrassing.
But... the GOP isn’t. They’re running Trump. Everything bad you can say about Biden on this issue goes 20x for Trump.
Democrats of every background and persuasion will stand united behind Biden this time, unlike Hillary, because after 3+ years of observing Trump in action, we have seen Trump really, really is that bad.
If anything, the one sexual assault allegation against Biden now draws renewed attention to these dozen-plus other allegations against Trump that went memory-holed. And reminds everyone of “grab them by the pussy.” In a bizarro way, that could actually work to Biden’s advantage.
