17. I don't think Hunter did anything wrong at all

Tue Oct 15, 2019, 01:12 AM

Oct 2019

But he's being used to confuse and smear his father and doing this interview that he had to know would be aired shortly before or after the debate just plays into the GOP's hands and and stomps all over his father's message. I don't see any upside to doing it this way and wish he had waited a few days.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

The question is how many debate questions will Biden have to answer about Hunter? Baclava Oct 2019 #35

Not just debate questions StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #36

Unless Biden stumbles badly in his response on stage I don't think it is news Baclava Oct 2019 #43

Biden will be ready. He's savvy enough to know that it's highly likely he'll be asked about Politicub Oct 2019 #52
