Tara Reade Biden allegation megathread

[Bomster]

Is this contributing to Biden’s declining polling margin on RCP? I’m very worried about it...

RCP's average is...well...an average. At the moment there are only five polls in it. Biden's decline is basically totally due to the fact that the IBD/TIPP poll is more heavily weighted because some of the older polls dropped off. Once that poll works its way out of RCP's system, Biden's lead will rise again. RCP has these things where you just have to wait for one really weird poll to work its way through the average and out the other side.

So without that IDP poll (why is it so bearish on Biden?) Biden’s average would be 47.8% and Trump’s would be 42.3%. A +5.5 point margin. Still too close to comfort, and if Biden continues to poll below Hillary Clinton’s performance of 48.2% I’m going to be very worried...

In not worried at all
whatever small hit Biden takes right now simply wont last by the time we get to November 2020
all of this will be history now that Tara has done her big hyped interview and people will once again start to focus on the economy since there will be a Jobs report right before the election

like I said tara played her last big card with this interview and after that there is simply nowhere left for this story to go. A predict that after this week this story will continue to fade now that Tara has nothing more to throw at Biden and Biden will recover whatever small hit he took from this in the first place

What does that tell you, when even Fox News decides to ignore her "various versions" of a story.

I wouldn't reade (sorry) too much into it. Since when has Fox ever had the journalistic integrity to stop covering a story about one of their adversaries due to its lack of truth? At least among the right wing media bubble, and their useful idiot leftist allies, this story is never going to die.

Very true, especially with Fox.
But maybe the other networks will say "we are done with her."

Hopefully. Whatever content she generates for them seems to get contradicted shortly after giving her that platform. I can imagine that being frustrating.

This isn’t a coincidence. This has been one giant waste of time. Next!

Swing and a miss by anti-Biden folks. People have moved on and the Democratic coalition stood their ground, save for Liz Bruenig and some other Bernouts.

I fear the damage may have already been done though... most people may now have an impression of Joe Biden not only being senile but also being a creep and a predator... regardless of the truth... and this will fuel a “bOtH sIdEs BaD” mentality that’s will cost us yet another election against Donald Trump...

Both are on mute. Wouldn't be surprised if Bomster is someone's sock.

For the love of god I’m not trolling. I’m concerned yes, I’m overly pessimistic and utterly terrified of the thought of Trump and his gross ideals being vindicated through a re-election. I’m extremely concerned, and sometimes I have little faith anything will get better. But please believe me I’m not trolling.

Unless you have something to contributes to the discussion, you should refrain from commenting.

Maybe try to convince people that Biden is none of those things (which he isn't) rather than crying to us about that being what your friends think lol

You know how it is nowadays. You can’t convince anyone of anything if it doesn’t fit their ideals. My conservative friends will never stop thinking Biden is a senile creep. I am powerless to change anything, especially since I have like zero self-esteem in my own political views since I always feel like I’m the idiot.

I’m sorry, I’m just utterly terrified of failing to defeat Trump.

We all are, but panic posting just irritates everybody.

Besides, Trump will not be president forever.

i don't for one second believe that people who are unemployed will care about any of that more than they do about news like this



by the end of the day the GOP can call Biden senile and creepy all the want but if unemployment is over 11 percent on election day..........creepy Biden is going to landslide trump out of office lol

If he wins a second term his presidency will be validated forever... and trumpism will be cemented as a legitimate political philosophy, which will weaken democracy...
