I'm actually as sure as I can be that inside somewhere you know Biden's a good guy and demanding he pull out is rushing to trouble, not to what is right.
I'm hoping for, even if delayed (perhaps to the middle of the night?), some reaction that resents being used by Russia and people like McConnell to defeat yourself and turn the U.S. into a broken democracy, ruled by right wing autocracy. I don't know if you have children who might generate a little reasonable fear, but we now know it really can happen here. And like all bad things it'll happen worst to minorities. This isn't some stupid ball game we get to scream and yell at and then just go home from.
If I were to vote in a presidential

Yeah, it's a good thing because this desperate move is causing people to coalesce around Joe. BTW

She is pushing this narrative by making this a centerpiece of her show. Everyone knows what she is

Biden's response is newsworthy and Reid is hardly the only one who thinks so.

Sure, Biden made a racist and ignorant comment, as he has numerous times before. But...

The question was not a simple answer for a debate format, and Biden tried to answer

I haven't called for him to drop out, but I don't buy the premise of a certain narrative.

And those characterizing it that way know that. They know their characterization is bullshit.
