That was his mistake. He opened the door wide.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
It's not a major talking point now EffieBlack Jul 2019 #1
And to think Biden brought this all up bluewater Jul 2019 #2
When did Biden bring "this all up", specifically? George II Jul 2019 #4
When he talked about days past, when he could even work "across the aisle" pnwmom Jul 2019 #6
But his recent comments NEVER mentioned busing until it was brought up by others. George II Jul 2019 #10
The definitions of Quibbling and Hair-Splitting come to mind: bluewater Jul 2019 #12
How about the definition of "bring this all up", which seems to be avoided. George II Jul 2019 #24
You mean, he didn't say, "When I worked with the segregationist racists pnwmom Jul 2019 #13
That article mentions "busing" 19 times, not a SINGLE one uttered by Biden. I rest my case. George II Jul 2019 #16
So? He incorrectly thought he could highlight his work with segregationists without reminding people pnwmom Jul 2019 #18
The bottom line is, as hard as some are trying to "prove" it, Biden never brought up busing in 2019. George II Jul 2019 #19
Then it's reasonable to question his judgment. pnwmom Jul 2019 #20
It wasn't Biden. And the date is June 30, 1977 (42 years ago), not June 2019. George II Jul 2019 #21

You asked who released the letter. My answer was that it wasn't Biden. George II Jul 2019 #26
No, he opened the door wide in 2019 by bringing up the topic of working with the segregationists pnwmom Jul 2019 #28
So if he said he had lunch at a Suchi Bar he would have opened the door.... George II Jul 2019 #30
weak sauce, weak Sushi sauce actually... bluewater Jul 2019 #32
Not the sauce (with a "C") in which I dip my Sushi. George II Jul 2019 #34
Quibbling and Hair Splitting? bluewater Jul 2019 #7
Nice links, but you haven't been able to tell when Biden brought this up. Didn't think so. George II Jul 2019 #9
Denial isn't just a river in Egypt bluewater Jul 2019 #11
Biden didn't bring it up, but he comes out of this smelling like a rose. ucrdem Jul 2019 #14
So how may times in those comments by Biden did he bring up busing? Answer: NONE George II Jul 2019 #17
Someone's projecting about Cha Jul 2019 #15
There was a direct path from his talking about working with the segregationists pnwmom Jul 2019 #29
Now we're at the point of playing the party game "Telephone". George II Jul 2019 #31
And to think *Harris brought this all up nsd Jul 2019 #25
Probably around that time, give or take a year. George II Jul 2019 #3
Jesse Jackson ran in 1984 and 1988. murielm99 Jul 2019 #5
We need to get off the BS and start figuring out how to absolutely beat drumpf. democratisphere Jul 2019 #8
