Genuinely curious how that could be perceived to corroborate assault claims. I've listened to the mother multiple times and it sounds like she is complaining of a workplace dispute, nothing more. And, note that the mother emphasizes her daughter's respect for the senator. I highly doubt that her and her mother would seriously consistently emphasize that for decades (Reade's social media as well) if an assault had occurred.
You just don't like Biden. The Bernie bros sanctimonious trumpeting of a seriously far-fetched narrative is tiresome.
"Far-Fetched Narrative", I literally linked to footage of her mother talking about these claims AT THE TIME. The evidence is just piling up, not my fault you choose to ignore and dismiss it because the candidate you like is the one facing the accusations. Especially considering this stuff is exactly the same as Brett Kavanaugh's accuaation. If you believe Ford you should believe Tara Reade. Otherwise you're a hack

And I LITERALLY told you that the video you linked showed absolutely no proof of sexual assault allegations.
Also, I agree that both the left and the right are applying the Kavanaugh standard to the Reade charge. The Ford situation taught us that politically advantageous and unsubstantiated claims of assault should be treated quite carefully by politicians and the media. That didn't happen in the Kavanaugh situation, unfortunately. Luckily, the media seems to be proceeding correctly with this claim.

It shows Tara Reades mom talking about the allegations at the time, what else do you need. To travel back in time to spy in his office to see it happen before your eyes.

Ford's allegations were not unsubstantiated. They were credible.

Ignoring and silencing a credible sexual assault because it's Biden is "proceeding correctly". If this were the only allegation of sexual misconduct, you'd have an argument. But there are many more incidents of handsy Uncle Joseph, which add more credence to Reades allegations.

Except every woman who claimed he touched them inappropriately also said he never assaulted them.

Where? What part of that quote shows anything other than a staff disagreement? She never referenced assault or even misconduct on Biden's part once! The only references to Biden were positive.

It's semantics, if a person grabs a woman and sniffs her hair it's not hard to believe he doesn't draw the line at forced fingering

Where do you get "staff disagreement" from any of that. As Tara Reades prior interviews show and every sexual assault victim would ever tell you, they internalize the assault and blame it on themselves. Not helping Bidens supposed words to her during the assault where he puts the blame on her.
True. And when you are down double digits nationally and are losing every swing state; this is something your campaign should focus on - compelling name-calling monikers.
I believe this is habit 5 in the Stephen Covey book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Manipulative Narcissists.

If he can effectively change the nickname, I may have to give him another look and completely rethink my feelings on the Trump presidency 😉
I saw a headline a few days ago about "Is Trump trying hard enough"... and I was like "what if he is and voters just aren't feeling it". I've been around some losing campaigns where no matter what message they had, they just weren't gonna win because the voters weren't really down with that idea.
I'm not sure how high/low undecided percentages should be 4 months out, but there's a lot of people who've made up their minds right now.
Pretty sure his comments last night about ending subsidies for the oil industry are going to hurt him down the stretch. This seems to be the one unforced error he made last night that is resonating.
How much and where it hurts him is yet to be seen.
Conservative twitter has latched on to them and media is openly opining the impact.
Ending oil subsidies certainly won't hurt Biden. More than 75% of Americans want to end those.
Spinning it to Biden wanting to shut down fossil fuel companies entirely (possible due to his gaffe) is what could hurt him at the margins in TX, PA, Mt, etc. That's why they're trying so hard to do that.
WA Indy: Conservative twitter is grasping at straws.
You mean the same twitter that pretends every modern Cartoon is a secret Marxist ploy to brainwash our kids to be Trans Gay Socialists is grasping at straws
