He at least seems to be dealing with it the right way - sorry if I've crossed a line, not denying it (which would be impossible given plenty of TV and photographic evidence is about). The country voted for Trump, I doubt it will derail his efforts, more likely to do that will be the impetus to try and get someone that looks and feels a bit "different".

It would certainly be interesting to see the Relublicans call Biden on this given their own fearless leader's behavior! Of course, they will probably do so - AND get away with it - such is the nature of our political process!

It does "protect" Trump in a way if he is the candidate. But to me Biden is by no means the best candidate so I would prefer to see someone else anyway.

Yes, I'm hoping his days near the top of the pile are numbered ... not because of this though!

How would the Dems with a straight face have a go at Trump and put up Joe as an alternative?

Does seem they have constructed a circular firing squad.

Let's be clear - it looks like Biden is guilty of being overly 'touchy-feely' while Trump admitted to grabbing pussy. Equivalence?

The issue seems to be how it is received and it seems then the conversation becomes about the level of inappropriate behaviour. Do the Dems want to go there?

I think Joe has aged out of the Presidential race.

"Both sides do it".

There is no equivalency, of course, just as there isn't with a zillion other facets of Trump's behaviour. Won't stop the normal culprits claiming the above though.

My bet is Biden won't even run.

Has anyone noticed how silent Congress has been on the border situation? Not even a word from any of the new upcoming Dem Reps.

I notice the silence by the Republicans on Trump's behavior. He can't even remember where his father was born.

And the Dem's on the border? Crickets....

It’s possible that Castro and other Democrats genuinely don’t see that as a problem — that they’re willing to do whatever it takes to treat 100,000 immigrants a month as humanely as possible for as long as their cases take, even if fewer than half of them (at the most generous accounting) ultimately qualify for legal status in the US. Alternatively, it’s possible they believe that most of those 100,000 people a month really ought to qualify for humanitarian protections here, and US law needs to be expanded to accommodate that.

Tried that one , they just ignore it ,as if it's now accepted standard practice ,started by a so called "man" who somehow became POTUS , & lets be honest ,his lack off morals continues
As does his grasp off what is required to be a leader :blink:
But Joe touching somebodies hair ,This deserves a death sentence

2 more women have come forward, and there is it seems allegation that Bernie supporters are behind this.

I think it's pretty obvious that there would be many hundreds, because its the way Biden has always been, and done so in public. It was never hidden.

It seems you were asleep when both the House and the Senate voted against Trump's emergency declaration regarding a border wall.

Until Trump shows himself to be an honest negotiator on this, I can't see a point of Congress getting involved. And neither party is doing.
