7. OK. That's fair

(and I think Biden has already done just that)
How about you, Anita? Still planning on being a keynote for "Most Powerful Women?" Just asking if you're going to "acknowledge your role .."?

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

Oh ok fine, but referring to her as Anita is so uncivilized as to lead to electing tRump President?! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #140
Well good for you!! But why judge others?! Indeed, I absolutely LOVE Anita InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #83
Oh please...I went though way worse than she did...and survived literally was in the Demsrule86 Oct 2019 #91
She was publicly humiliated and abandoned before the entire country... InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #98
She has milked it for years and used it against Democrats only...thus I have no respect for what she Demsrule86 Oct 2019 #115
The point is she DID go after the "right" person, THOMAS... and look how she was treated!! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #120

No she wasn't abandoned. George II Oct 2019 #137
She's living on the streets, penniless apparently jberryhill Oct 2019 #143
So NOT funny what happened to Anita. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #147
It's been great for her career jberryhill Oct 2019 #149
And that has what to do with how badly she was treated redqueen Oct 2019 #155
It has everything to do with going after Biden jberryhill Oct 2019 #161
He could defuse it redqueen Oct 2019 #163
oh, nonsense jberryhill Oct 2019 #164
Biden owes women everywhere an explanation and an apology. redqueen Oct 2019 #170
"an ACTUAL apology, and not the ersatz apologies" jberryhill Oct 2019 #171
I give up. redqueen Oct 2019 #173

You are assuming Biden is the only way to remove rump Bradshaw3 Oct 2019 #15
NO, I am not. I, rather assume the damage to be spread over the entire field by RWers and it will. hlthe2b Oct 2019 #20
That is a deflection Bradshaw3 Oct 2019 #31
No... ... You are wrong. hlthe2b Oct 2019 #33
Hard to argue with that logic Bradshaw3 Oct 2019 #36
Like Warren's Franken Railroad Bagage? LakeArenal Oct 2019 #38
Isn't that bothsiderism? Bradshaw3 Oct 2019 #43
Oh sure. Everyone has baggage LakeArenal Oct 2019 #46
As has been said... everyone has baggage. revmclaren Oct 2019 #70
I get it... it's bad form to hold all candidates to the same standards. LanternWaste Oct 2019 #169
Exactly, Joe's moderate incrementalism is not the only way! Indeed, Bernie has shown us a better way InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #52
Yes, but what baggage do those other candidates carry? TexasTowelie Oct 2019 #56
this post is definitely going to crush Biden EveHammond13 Oct 2019 #78
Not true...they have their own baggage and certain policy ideas from your candidate MFA most Demsrule86 Oct 2019 #95
So what you're saying is you support her until it gets inconvenient for you melman Oct 2019 #29
No.. that is absolute bullshit. MELMAN hlthe2b Oct 2019 #32
SHE'S THE ONE "MOVING ON" LakeArenal Oct 2019 #39
I stand with Anita. Joe should at least properly apologize to her... InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #53
What constitutes a "proper" apology to you? TexasTowelie Oct 2019 #58
Fair enough, but then no one should be calling to silence Anita. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #62
I've been in the position where I've had to apologize for some of my actions TexasTowelie Oct 2019 #89
Fair point, though, if I recall, Joe's "apology" fell a bit flat. Will have to look at it again. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #92
Don't bother. TexasTowelie Oct 2019 #96

These are the things that help Biden in a major way. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #4
Is Hill campaigning against Clarence Thomas? crazytown Oct 2019 #5
No, she's more like him than not jberryhill Oct 2019 #106
She was at Oral Roberts for less than 3 years. DURHAM D Oct 2019 #110

Haha haha. You have it all in your head. LakeArenal Oct 2019 #48
Hate to butt in here, but he chaired the hearings, did he not? redqueen Oct 2019 #30
Those are not unilateral decisions by Joe. LakeArenal Oct 2019 #35
I haven't seen any claim that someone else made that decision. redqueen Oct 2019 #49
It was absolutely 100% Biden's choice not to call DURHAM D Oct 2019 #111
And it was absolutely 100% Biden's information... jberryhill Oct 2019 #167
Yes, the refusal to allow corroborating witnesses to testify was on Joe. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #122
Yes, Anita is still pissed... as she has every right to be. #MeToo InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #69

Not at all... but even Joe admits Anita got a raw deal and was deserving of more support. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #153
You must not recall that Biden's questions were so bad redqueen Oct 2019 #154
Nope her opinion ain't more important than mine Loki Liesmith Oct 2019 #88
Wow!! Why so harsh?! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #152
Out of curiosity. What does Anita Hill have to acknowledge? Autumn Oct 2019 #47

I know, and I hate that because I really like him. cwydro Oct 2019 #84
Don't get why Joe always does that, given the depth of his political experience. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #150
That was my impression too... I think Joe made a political mistake on that one. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #99
