11. Maybe so. But ignoring it isn't going to work - look what happened to John Kerry. (nt)

Yes, he is being swiftboated. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #2

Biden should stick to policy issues and ignore it Freethinker65 Apr 2020 #3

I am quite sure that ignoring it is the WRONG thing to do. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #4

Totally agree. Biden needs to fight this head on, and needs to expose the information BComplex Apr 2020 #13

Thank you. We can't let this ratfucking stand. (nt) scarletwoman Apr 2020 #16

This. Biden has already addressed her accusations publicly. He need do no more. crickets Apr 2020 #5

Biden doesn't have to get down in the mud, that's for his lawyers to do. (nt) scarletwoman Apr 2020 #9

I respect you and your opinions. I read many of yours post and enjoy them, crickets Apr 2020 #21

Thank you for your kind words, and I'm fine with being wrong about this. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #35

Biden has largely ignored it and it's only gotten worse... Drunken Irishman Apr 2020 #7

It's exactly what John Kerry did ignore it marlakay Apr 2020 #32

One thing I think helps Biden is people know him. Drunken Irishman Apr 2020 #41

God your right bringing it all back to me marlakay Apr 2020 #44

I agree. They are cooked if this doesn't blow over by fall. Drunken Irishman Apr 2020 #47

I think so to just read in China marlakay Apr 2020 #57

Thanks - that's the way I feel about it. I don't want to see Biden swiftboated. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #42

I'm not seeing it DI. I've read this whole thread and... underpants Apr 2020 #66

It was on MSNBC tonight. Drunken Irishman Apr 2020 #69

Ok then I just missed it pop up underpants Apr 2020 #73

Make a short live statement then don't feed it uponit7771 Apr 2020 #6

He's already denied it. Drunken Irishman Apr 2020 #10

"He's going to have to prove her story wrong..." That's why I think he needs to take her to court. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #12

She says she cannot remember where or when it happened Freethinker65 Apr 2020 #19

The best defense is a good offense. She has no proof, & there's a lot of evidence to support Biden. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #30

There is no way to prove her story wrong. She is obviously changing it and is unreliable ...she Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #22

Discovery in that lawsuit would be the end of it. The evidence against her claim is BComplex Apr 2020 #14

That's the worst idea ... NanceGreggs Apr 2020 #8

Maybe so. But ignoring it isn't going to work - look what happened to John Kerry. (nt) scarletwoman Apr 2020 #11

Not comparable. NanceGreggs Apr 2020 #23

It definitely will not just go away Bucky Apr 2020 #74

Thanks Nance...absolutely. Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #24

Would you agree with post #28 as a better idea? (link below) scarletwoman Apr 2020 #45

Or deny it with his own voice. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2020 #15

All that does is turn it into "he said, she said." (nt) scarletwoman Apr 2020 #18

And what do you think ... NanceGreggs Apr 2020 #33

Extremely bad idea la-trucker Apr 2020 #17

Well, is he innocent or not? scarletwoman Apr 2020 #20

Of course he is. crickets Apr 2020 #25

Even if one is innocent, one should not subject oneself to discovery la-trucker Apr 2020 #28

James Carville is a savvy guy with clout - that's a good idea. nt crickets Apr 2020 #38

Thank you - you make an excellent counter-argument. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #40

I'm with this tactic! eom BlueMTexpat Apr 2020 #76

Of course he is innocent...that is not the point...your idea is a bad one. We are a few months away Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #29

Absolutely correct HarlanPepper Apr 2020 #50

this is all we need to say demtenjeep Apr 2020 #26

It would help if some of Obama's people like Axelrod would step up democrattotheend Apr 2020 #70

this is all we need to say demtenjeep Apr 2020 #26

Her story has been corroborated by at least two friends Bucky Apr 2020 #75

Not sure that's gonna do it qazplm135 Apr 2020 #36

"...sometimes you have to go above to clear things even when it's bull." Thank you, I appreciate scarletwoman Apr 2020 #39

That is what they want...very bad idea....and people on our side are doing no such thing...these are Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #46

I agree rockfordfile Apr 2020 #81

Just to be clear NO AND NO. That would give her story false credibility. Deny it...make her Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #48

"She can't withstand scrutiny." That's why I thought a defamation suit would be the way to do that. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #56

Eh qazplm135 Apr 2020 #64

He should also give the University of Delaware permission to release her personnel file democrattotheend Apr 2020 #71

Problem is they are going to keep them coming. New one. She can't remember the year. emmaverybo Apr 2020 #37

Who? Drunken Irishman Apr 2020 #49

This Tweet thread reveals claim since removed from the web page referring to and the deleted tweet: emmaverybo May 2020 #83

One thing is clear, Al Franken didn't file a defamation suit, and everything worked out for him. rgbecker Apr 2020 #43

Normally.. mvd Apr 2020 #51

I think his strategy shouls depend on what the Republicans do with it. RDANGELO Apr 2020 #52

What makes you think that a defamation lawsuit would this go away? Yavin4 Apr 2020 #53

I just want to make sure she is thoroughly discredited publicly and in no uncertain terms. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #54

I want to see Tara Reade's *story* thoroughly discredited. crickets Apr 2020 #62

Oh, I'm sure there is a "control" behind her. And it would be great to expose whoever it/they may be scarletwoman Apr 2020 #65

Food for thought: are you sure she's willing? crickets Apr 2020 #67

Actually, I do think she's willing or she wouldn't be doing it. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #72

I absolutely agree - I think it should be done regardless. (nt) scarletwoman Apr 2020 #63

Ding ding ding! The only correct answer in this thread, in my opinion. Here's why: Mister Ed Apr 2020 #78

Certainly It Is Necessary To Go On Offense, Ma'am The Magistrate Apr 2020 #59

Thank you. I am certainly willing to concede that a lawsuit might not be the best idea. scarletwoman Apr 2020 #61

One Thing We Certainly Need To Do, Ma'am The Magistrate Apr 2020 #77

That thoght has crossed my mind democrattotheend Apr 2020 #68

he sure has to do something, and ignoring it wont work. mopinko Apr 2020 #79

absolutely no obamanut2012 Apr 2020 #80

So that everything even kind of bad about him can be talked about? Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2020 #82

I welcome a lawsuit to clear up this matter. KWR65 May 2020 #84
