I'd say the whole Anita Hill situation is more likely to come up during the primary as opposed to the general. I mean think about it: what sort of argument would the Groper-in-Chief (grab 'em by the pussy) have against Joe Biden? Trump has been accused by a horde of women of sexual assault and his words on tape speak for themselves. He has no respect for women, particularly strong women. With the exception of Ivanka, of course. But even with his daughter his mannerisms are creepy.

That being said, whoever our nominee is has to be prepared for a very nasty campaign. Because Donald Trump is nasty and petty and vindictive. His enablers and supporters will follow the pied piper.

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

actually i had never heard that saying until just now.. samnsara Apr 2019 #1

I think you'll hear it pretty soon...I wouldn't be surprised... CTyankee Apr 2019 #3

Why are YOU associating what someone else said with Biden? What is your purpose? Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #23

My question also. cwydro Apr 2019 #37

Fair question... if Joe said it, show where he said it, otherwise, completely unfair to bring it up. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #55

Biden did NOT say this. David Brock said it in a 1993 book 2 years later. nt ucrdem Apr 2019 #72

Did he say it himself, or attribute it to Biden? InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #107

Brock wrote it in 1993 book called "The Real Anita Hill" defending Clarence Thomas. ucrdem Apr 2019 #112

And I referenced the book's origins in a RW rag in my OP. Go back and read what I wrote. CTyankee Apr 2019 #222

You posted an inflammitory headline, and then covered yourself in the post. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #69

Actually, what he said was "I am sorry if she felt she didn't get a fair hearing." Demit Apr 2019 #36

Here is an actual quote from Biden BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #49

Said Biden: "The message I've delivered before is I am so sorry if she believes that." Demit Apr 2019 #64

Yeah BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #109

He could have given her the kind of hearing she deserved. Biden was in charge of overseeing Autumn Apr 2019 #113

Flogging a dead horse BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #133

You post that he regrets he couldn't give her the hearing she deserved. Autumn Apr 2019 #143

The short answer is yes. BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #167

I take it you're not here for the conversation. Autumn Apr 2019 #168

Basically, they're all only going to go lalalalala can't hear you. Demit Apr 2019 #170

What's to "hear"? The only wayback machine I'm aware of is on the internet. EVERY ONE... George II Apr 2019 #182

Yes, you should look into his record in the Senate, definitely. Demit Apr 2019 #201

Glad to see that you admit you did that. Which is why I posted more facts that came Autumn Apr 2019 #178

At least they have more than a passing interest in facts... ehrnst Apr 2019 #228

What will we see next? George II Apr 2019 #215

That was what, almost 30 years ago. He's addressed it a number of times and MOST people.... George II Apr 2019 #181

Umm, it was clearly former RWer and Clinton attacker, David Brock who said it... hlthe2b Apr 2019 #30

Yes, the OP won't respond to question why HE is falsely associating that w/Biden. Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #32

OK,I've done a lot of explaining here but folks aren't listening or not liking what they hear. CTyankee Apr 2019 #119

That statement was NEVER attributed to Joe Biden. Do you have a link? lapucelle Apr 2019 #129

I doubt you will get an answer. Tipperary Apr 2019 #151

HA! See post 34, buddy. that was fast, wasn't it? CTyankee Apr 2019 #234

Your opinion said the statement was attributed to Biden. This is not true Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #263

I think the OP is a she. (Not that it matters) cwydro Apr 2019 #160

No, we wouldn't. But that doesn't matter to Trump and his party. They lie about us all the time. CTyankee Apr 2019 #70

There are endless lies they could create to attack any of our candidates... hlthe2b Apr 2019 #73

Because I lived through it in real time. And because women, and women of color particularly, are CTyankee Apr 2019 #75

Google is your friend. AND I didn't say something that is not true, goddamit! Read my OP, please. CTyankee Apr 2019 #88

I did google it and found nothing ramblin_dave Apr 2019 #99

Yes, and you won't either because it isn't true but at the time it was used to harm him and came CTyankee Apr 2019 #103

Nobody attributed that statement to Biden. lapucelle Apr 2019 #118

OK,you didn't. At the time, I did, which is why Brock made his statement in the first place. CTyankee Apr 2019 #125

Nobody thought Joe Biden said it, and your "link" doesn't connect the quote with Joe Biden. lapucelle Apr 2019 #134

Exactly! The American Spectator (Brock) made that statement! CTyankee Apr 2019 #171
