It was a mistake on Joe's part and that's why he should apologize to Anita for his OWN actions. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #66
I don't think that's so hard. Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2019 #68
It's NOT hard... pride just makes it UNNECESSARILY hard!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #71

I'm concerned about winning the election. mobeau69 Apr 2019 #17
I saw a clip of Biden from THE VIEW on Andrea Mitchell's show and I cringed a bit. He should helpisontheway Apr 2019 #43
Get Thomas and Repugs to apologize emmaverybo Apr 2019 #61
Yes. He needs to address it. The WaPo article also makes him look weak, able to be pushed around. femmedem Apr 2019 #89

Very bad idea. Good thing you are not a campaign advisor. drray23 Apr 2019 #51
LOL DarthDem Apr 2019 #54
He called her a few weeks ago to apologize. marylandblue Apr 2019 #63
Seems a bit late.. and for whom is Joe apologizing? InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #65
What? Have her have to sit and look at C.Thomas every day???!!!! flor-de-jasmim Apr 2019 #7
Anita Hill was and still is an American icon we all learned from lunatica Apr 2019 #10
A kind way to look at him and us all. Thanks. ancianita Apr 2019 #12
It was shame what happened but that is very long time ago.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #18
No It is Indelible on the hippocampus for thousand upon thousands delisen Apr 2019 #38
I suspect if you did a survey of current voters a small percent.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #45
Possibly that is what you want to believe nt delisen Apr 2019 #62
It was a major news event of the time, and it brought about a shift in attitudes marylandblue Apr 2019 #70
I remember the event because Im an old fart but I didnt recall Biden's involvement.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #72
Sure it's unfair, but that's politics. Everything you ever did will be used against you. marylandblue Apr 2019 #73
If you think its unfair then you should drop it. honest.abe Apr 2019 #78
I'm just talking about what I think Biden should do about it. marylandblue Apr 2019 #80
This issue wont affect him in the general. honest.abe Apr 2019 #81
Every real or imagined fault of his would be an issue in the general marylandblue Apr 2019 #84
Its a non-issue in the general. honest.abe Apr 2019 #94
I'm afraid you haven't been paying attention. And there are no guarantees in life. marylandblue Apr 2019 #95
Im afraid you are pushing a non-issue... guaranteed. honest.abe Apr 2019 #99
Yeah whatever. I'm not even sure you realize what issue I am pushing. marylandblue Apr 2019 #100
Perhaps I dont understand your comments. honest.abe Apr 2019 #102
Ok, I have nothing against Biden. But this is going to be a highly negative campaign cycle. marylandblue Apr 2019 #104
Thank you for this thoughtful and detailed post. honest.abe Apr 2019 #106
I'd be happy to join Biden six months from now, if he's doing well then, and my guy isn't. marylandblue Apr 2019 #120
Cool. I work in Rockville. Used to live there too a few years back. honest.abe Apr 2019 #121
I suspect Anita Hill has long given up expecting a proper apology. Demit Apr 2019 #20
I never read full reports on what was said. We might not ever really know, imo. ancianita Apr 2019 #24

Already reduced to personal attacks on his appearance BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #74
It's a fact we have to deal with. Many voters aren't going to vote on substance but on appearance. progressoid Apr 2019 #85

I guess it is not fair to balance that with the positives treestar Apr 2019 #116
Biden has been my second choice but this REALLY bothers me, A LOT Indygram Apr 2019 #23
This hurts him. Not just the women he hurt. He's got to think and feel this through much better. ancianita Apr 2019 #26
Someone needs to educate him on how obnoxious non-apologies are Indygram Apr 2019 #28
I know you really want that to be true but.... BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #31
Very interesting. Doesn't mean he doesn't have to have better thought about the issue if it comes up ancianita Apr 2019 #34
I'm sure he will be BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #35

Not wishing. Just making a suggestion. I hear you about all that evangelical leaning (ewww). ancianita Apr 2019 #111
Seriously? However unintentional, this post seems a bit disparaging to Anita Hill and women voters Raven123 Apr 2019 #110
Please read what I read to ucrdem above. If that isn't satisfactory, let me know. ancianita Apr 2019 #112
Why is it all Biden's fault? treestar Apr 2019 #113
