Tara Reade confided in a future hubby while working for Biden. Later the husband testified to a judge about it when he divorced her.

So there it is. Confirmation. Twenty odd years ago. Printed on court documents. Before anyone cared.

With the Presidency, even without Congress, they can still stop all the investigations cold; the political cost would be high with independents, but the Democrats will do it anyway, because the cost of any revelations that finally get through to the general public will be worse, but a lot of the damage has been done now.
Some Democrats, of course, won’t care whatever comes out (see the discussions about trying to present evidence to left-leaning friends in some of the other posts; it’s rather horrifying and certainly discouraging).

With Congress but not the Presidency, they can tie up the investigations by counter-investigating them (a boutique niche for this bunch of Democrats!), stymie Trump’s agenda (with some help from our usual friends), and push through “leftist/socialist/progressive” bills over Trump’s veto.

(Hmm. If I change that to “Leftist/Socialist/Democrat” the true problem with this Congress may stand revealed.)

With both branches, that would be political Nirvana, even with the brief kerfuffle of sidelining Biden. And then they get the Courts as well, so, leftist Trifecta!

But I continue to assess that gaining the Presidency in 2020 is not the dem leadership’s primary goal. Rather gaining enough ground in Congress to neuter Trump through 2024 is their game plan.

Too hard to jettison him and no need to jettison him, because that can be done later in one of two ways. Choose the VP very carefully so that everyone will understand that’s who they’re really voting for. Depending on his mental state, throw him out prior to the election and have the VP run, or (more likely, I think) invoke the 25th Amendment and have Biden removed after the election and have the VP become president.

I think people may underestimate how hard it would be to find a replacement. There were a whole lot of choices during the primary and Democratic voters didn’t care for any of them. Heck, they didn’t even want Biden until they got stampeded into it.

The only question is who will the DNC choose to lock horns with orangemanbad.

However, I can’t imagine a replacement whom the Dem elite might consider “electable.”

And why did he choose one of the “waitress sandwich” pair to choose his VP.
