    He beat Biden handily with the youth and independents, that's divisive, losing the vote blue no matter who crowd, which as the phrase suggest would have voted for him when it mattered the most.

    Not that I can tell. The only reference to Trump that I've seen is that Putin has a higher approval rating in the US than him...

    And he creamed Bernie in most other demographics, particularly in the demographics that actually vote. Seriously, man. The primary is over. Throwing out false narratives that Biden is going to lose the election because of the youth vote, while ignoring all the demographics that Bernie lost, is just asinine.

    The point of the blaze link was to prove Khan is wrong that the right wasn't using this against Biden, not to be a reputable source, it's from yesterday because that's how recently the sexual assault allegation has come to light. He doubted it's legitimacy because the right hasn't talk about it much, this is one of the reasons why, saving it for the general is another.

    You know if Biden gets knocked out, Bernie doesn't automatically get the nomination, right? It's not like he's the vice nominee. If Biden died right now, Democrats would probably choose Cuomo, who's even more conservative than Uncle Joe.

    I'm not sure you understand what a conspiracy theory is.;) The accusation itself is not a conspiracy theory, the conspiracy theory is that there is some sort of cover-up of a "credible" accusation.

    That's what I was referring to.

    It's ludicrous to think that the party that got rid of a hugely popular Senator from a Midwest state who had eyes on the Presidency, would simply ignore credible assault allegation, for a year, and have other pro-MeToo orgs ignore it as well.

    The accusation that it did without any kind of evidence, is a conspiracy, one that frankly shouldn't be discussed in this thread.

    Y'all are adorable that you think this changes anything. The news is wall to wall coronavirus and the primary is over. If this even makes the national news, it will be dead and buried within a day or two.

    One of my big discoveries in the last couple of years on here is people mix up the concept of "criminal conspiracy" with "conspiracy theory"

    So for example Trump russia is an allegation of criminal conspiracy which lead to appointment of special prosecutor, numerous indictments, and hard evidence of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

    This is not a "conspiracy theory"

    In contrast, the idea that shadowy deep state actors are trying to bring down Trump IS a conspiracy theory.

    So Biden history of making women of all ages uncomfortable, past groping allegations, sexual harassment and possible sexual assault doesn't matter because "Covid19 coverage will bury it and the primary is over".. are we really going there.

    If you say so

    My comment was more metaphorical...


    But hey it’s your world I guess


    Sexual assault seemed to matter for SCOTUS...

    Rightly or wrongly, the past allegations are already baked into the numbers and this latest one just isn't going to get any attention. This isn't a "doesn't matter" situation, but rather a bandwidth issue. People have "bigger" things to worry about right now and this type of allegation just doesn't register compared to other issues facing the country right now.

    It still does, but everyone should chill the ******** out while allegations are either substantiated or debunked. I don’t know about you, but in the SC matter, I waited until hearing Blasey-Ford’s testimony under oath before reaching any conclusions. Here, I have seen a troubling allegation in less then reliable sources, and some competing info about the accuser that so far is equally unreliable. This has a ways to go before people should be jumping on any bandwagons.
