   I don't watch any of them, I don't even have a TV, so I can't speak to how much airtime was given, but they all have links on their main pages as far as I can tell. It's hard to claim they "ignored" it. 

 

   Hopefully they all give it more coverage. Biden's time has come and gone, and he doesn't have enough to challenge Trump.

What I am saying is,  the article specifically says it got no airtime during a very specific time period.  I cant personally attest to it either.  It did not say it got no online coverage. 

 

So technically the article is true, but misleading

  Seems we agree then.

Thoughts on Joe: Mr. and (especially) Mrs. Biden are nice people on the surface if you've ever had the pleasure of meeting them. We have. Joe has served his country but I am just not sure on how I feel about him being successful in getting elected. There may have been a time when it was possible, I'm not sure if that ship has sailed. That being said, he has baggage, *a lot* of baggage. But so do other people. If people find the current POTUS with all his baggage acceptable in this day and age, then I suppose people should have little qualms about overlooking Joe's.

 

I look at people being in leadership positions from a morality angle, respectability, common sense, humanity, and capability. He has some of those aspects but not others... but everything is different these days. We have a long way to go for this election cycle, and a lot of people will not make it. I have yet to see some stand-outs, and if that does not change some may find Joe a good alternative even despite baggage.

  Trump had a lot of baggage. As much as any candidate in recent memory. He also had enough support to get a plurality of the electoral college votes. I'm not sure Biden has that. I know a lot of people think he may give the Democrats the best shot at 2020, but to me that is not really a good thing. I think there is a good chance he would likely split the vote, or just like with Hillary, inspire people to stay at home and drink.

plurality?  Did he not get more than half?  Doesn't it take a majority to be elected?

  In general no, but when there are only 2 candidates receiving electoral votes, as most recent elections, then yes it would take a majority of votes..

Maybe. Every election cycle seems to just have a group of people smashed into a clown car, with little standing out. I see Biden as standing out as the 'factory farm and ready to lead' politician, and he does have some support in older generations, but little will inspire younger voters or those bored of status quo. At the same time a more 'vibrant' politician may not have the desired effect either.

   Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. He has strong support from a core group. He may be able to win back a swing state or two on that. I'm just not sure it's enough. He may be the best the Dem's can do, but it's never easy to knock down an incumbent, and it's hard to see Biden being able to pull it off ATM. Things can change though. Never know what last minute issues come up.

Going on the attack against the prospective 2020 contender, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Flores was “quite bold” to “go up against the highest levels of her political party” with the allegations and suggested that Biden should consider apologizing to Flores.

“If anybody just types in ‘Creepy Uncle Joe Videos’ you come up with a treasure trove,” Conway told “Fox News Sunday.”"

  We used to have this old proverb about not throwing stones in a glass house. Wonder if she had the same advice for her boss.

Biden just needs to lay low and wait for the new cycle to move on . Thats  the key now a days. Everyone thought Trump was done when his grab em video came out. He just brushed it off and in a week or so it was something else. They throw so much ####### at him no one pay attention anymore. Its like crying wolf

Joe has too many problems to survive a very competitive and large field of candidates if he chooses to run--viewed as an old guard politician, not radical enough to appeal to the emerging leftists who will decide the primaries, and now because of these recent allegations, accompanied with videos of him touching, caressing, and kissing little girls will be all over the internet.  He's done.  The Me-Too movement and the power of the internet with these videos will hang over him until he either decides not to run or eventually drops out.
