I usually don't watch but decided to tune in today to watch VP Biden. Mika didn't play softball with Joe either. I have such mixed feelings right now. Tara Reid has every right to come forward and tell her story. I'm just finding it hard to understand how (if this did happen) took so long to be made public. My gut instinct tells me that Joe would never do such a thing, but she needs to be heard and evidence needs to be presented. I don't want to vilify this woman and yet I question why she took so long to come forward. It's late in the game. I know people still voted for Trump in spite of the 20 odd women who came forward. Will democrats do the same for Joe?

I'll stick with Joe Biden. This is fishy and there is too much at stake for such games.

I wondered if she was paid to say that Joe sexually assaulted her. Still, if this true how does she live with herself because then she will have sold her soul to the devil. And if they find out she lied her life will be ruined.

This sounds fishy to me too, but then again Trump was Teflon even with audio evidence. I'd rather not vilify this woman until all the evidence is in.

Investigation is needed. I've read articles that make me say, he's totally innocent, then have heard things that make me unsure, so we need the story to be checked out. I don't want to be anything like the people that look the other way when it comes to trump. I will say, Biden doesn't seem like the kind of man that would do such a thing.

He doesn't seem like the kind of man who would do that sort of thing......I don't know what to make of this. I want to hear this woman's side of the story because she deserves to be heard. Joe also needs to be shown the same curtesy. Then the allegation needs to be investigated. If it turns out to be not true then I hope people will continue to support and vote for him. If he's guilty he should not get a pass.

He was vetted when Obama was looking at him. It would have come out then. And she keeps changing her story.

There are things about Biden that make me wonder...just something a little creepy. I believe he may have touched women in a way that made them uncomfortable--shoulders, hair, etc. That being said, I don't think he did what she alleges he did. From what I understand, the complaint she filed said she felt uncomfortable or something. He may have touched her in some way in that remote hallway but I think that was it and now she sees some kind of payday out of this. There needs to be an investigation--I don't think anything much will come of it. I will vote for him even though he seems like that creepy uncle that comes over on Thanksgiving and hugs you just a little bit too long.

I also read that she's levelled sexual abuse allegations before and that her story has changed and become more graphic.......still waiting for the facts. And yes, Biden was vetted a long time ago and nothing was uncovered to the best of my knowledge.

I agree....and Biden asked for a full investigation....BUT....she's got NOTHING....but a pocket full of money given to her by the pervert, so she would come forward, with these lies...
Reade has said she verbally complained to three supervisors at the time about the alleged sexual harassment. All three have told CNN and other media outlets that they never received such a verbal complaint from Reade, and were furthermore never aware of any sexual harassment complaints from anybody against Biden in the years that they worked with him.
It plays right into pervert rump’s hands: It undercuts the argument that Biden is the moral, decent choice for president.

What baffles me the most is that Tara Reade has said she's a hard core democrat. I understand that if this assault actually happened I would hope she would have lodged a complaint. Why wait until now to go public? If she felt Joe wasn't a good candidate perhaps she should have spoken up whe he threw his hat into the ring.

I heard she was a Bernie supporter.

So if she was a big Bernie supporter does she think she can help him replace Joe? It doesn't work that way.
