Democratic Primaries

First of all, I don't know if this is going to be an issue or not. If more women come forward and say that they felt violated, then it probably will. If it is going to be an issue, then it is better that it comes out now then after Joe gets the nomination, and it blows up in the general. A few years ago, this would probably not be an issue. Joe may be a good guy who would make a good president, but that does us no good if he can't win the general election. Politics isn't always fair. If the Republicans think this is an issue, they will hold it back until after he gets the nomination. If this becomes an issue in the primary, you can bet that the Republicans are damn sure going to use it.
It would be a big mistake to fall in love with a candidate, and send him/her into the general with an issue that could lose us the election.
The Democrats at best make up about 35% of the electorate; the Republicans less than that. The rest are independents; like or not, they are probably the ones who will decide the next election. Right now Biden does well with independents. That could change.
If this turns into an issue for Biden, he shouldn't get the nomination, where we could lose us our advantage with women and lose a low turnout election to that jackass.
If Bernie can't release his tax returns, he shouln't get the nomination.

The AHAs aren't voting for Joe Biden in the primaries, and never were.
The mehs who will vote for Joe Biden in the primaries are the same people that were going to vote for him in the first place.
Nothing will change.
