On an unrelated topic, Biden seems to be dropping in popularity right now because people find him too touchy-feely and that it makes him come off as a creepy old guy.
Regardless of if he's creepy or not, instead of apologizing for making people feel uncomfortable, he's just like, "#Noregrets #yolo"

Biden has a hurdle to overcome with his "touchy-feely" habits. And Obama, his former running mate, has been silent about Biden's wandering hands.
If he can get past this obstacle, Joe has two advantages.
1. While other candidates are veering more to the left, Biden is holding to the center, which may not mean much in New York or California but matters more in the middle of the country.
2. Except for Bernie, Biden has raised more money for his campaign.

It's still too early to tell. Others may throw their hat in the ring. But what will ultimately matter is how well will a candidate tackle important issues, not their race or gender.

It seems his own party hung him out to dry on this. This isn't even new information. It seems anyone who is more center is being ousted. Both parties are moving further from center which means less common ground and more fighting between parties. None of which is good for anyone.

See, I just don’t care what race or gender or age someone is as long as they have a good plan.

After hearing Biden’s story with women, yeah, not sure i’d want him as president. But at least that’s a logical reason.

Even though there are some women out there who are perfectly fine with the idea of Trump grabbing them by the *****. O.O

But honestly, that's yet another interesting double-standard, how if a Democratic politician has a less-than-savory reputation with women and such, they won't be tolerated for it in the least (again, Al Franken) . . . but a Republican politician has the same kind of reputation (Trump cheating on all his wives, having affairs with hookers and porn stars, paying them hush money, etc.), it's like, "it's okay, God has forgiven them."

I think the issue with Trump is, his celebrity privilege gave him a free pass on that.

Well, Trump can get away with anything simply because of his name, status, reputation, and money, but again, look at how Republicans were rallying in support behind a pedophile in Alabama, or a pimp in Nevada, and they were like, "that was in the past, God has forgiven them; as long as they're not Democrats, that would be worse than any sin!"
