The allegations have been public for a month. Not one word from Biden.

Otoh last year, it took just a day for Joe Biden to release an in-person video directly addressing accusations of inappropriate contact with multiple women.

Because his sheep will still vote for him so why talk about it?

I don't think so. I think his campaign is just playing it cool right now. While this new revelation about Reade's next door neighbor is troubling for them (to say nothing of the Larry King Live video), the media is on their side and will allow them time to craft a narrative.

It helps him that he'll literally never be asked directly by anyone in our mainstream press

at this point, I think that the Democrats are going for a brokered convention

It’s presidential to stay quiet and let your activists in the press carry your water.

to be fair, we were voting for Trump regardless about Storm Daniels.

WE care about what Trump can do to help the country,less about his personal life

That said, sexual assault is not the same as adultery.

likely Biden is guilty and Trump was guilty of paying Stormy to stay quiet

Even if he was asked, he would call them a fat, lying dog-faced pony soldier and then challenge them to a push up contest.

Izzy Mandelbaum running for POTUS, folks.

Biden’s campaign is one of silence. His handlers try to limit him from saying much because of his many gaffs but I agree with you. Me too has been thrown out the window.

Come on man, sex between two consenting adults, regardless of the fact it was adultery isn’t even in the same universe as sexual assault.

I understand that you're using the concept of "guilt" is two different contexts, but for the mud-garbblers: Biden's alleged guilt is criminal (i.e. nonconsensual)- Trump's alleged transactions were consensual.

And Come'On, MAN! Use Karen McDougal as an example.

Neither party or their candidate has the moral high ground on this.

I have no doubt Biden doesn’t remember it and for that reason his campaign staff hasn’t even bothered to tell him.

Who is talking about moral high ground?

We just want equal media coverage of something that is a criminal offense, compared to 4 years of innuendo used against Trump and Kavanaugh.

Dude, he hired a hooker. Everyone knew he cheated on his first two wives, so I don’t think that was a dealbreaker for people if he cheated on his third.
