I am female and I'm glad that such allegations are not being discounted out-of-hand, but I am NOT going to believe without critically appraising the allegations and, in most cases, allowing the facts to be explored/investigated.

I will not be part of the few who would manipulate the well-intentioned "Me-Too" movement to destroy based on nothing more than accusations being levied.

This is a cudgel that we are potentially handing our political opponents in order to destroy or determine our candidate. After the whole Franken saga, have we learned NOTHING?

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