Trump paved the way for sexual misconduct

As Tara Reade becomes a household name for accusing Joe Biden, the person most likely to be chosen to challenge Donald Trump for the presidency, of sexual misconduct,  it’s shameful that very few of Trump’s supporters could name even one of the more than two dozen women who have accused him of sexual assault and misconduct.

The list of public accusers of President Donald Trump include: Kristin Anderson, Lisa Boyne, Cathy Heller, Temple McDowell, Karena Virginia, Bridget Sullivan, Tasha Dixon, Mindy McGillivray, Rachel Crooks, Natasha Stoynoff, Jennifer Murphy, Jessica Drake, Ninni Laaksonen, Summer Zervos, Samantha Holvey, Mariah Billado, Victoria Hughes, Juliet Huddy, Alva Johnson, Karen Johnson, Cassandra Searles, Jill Harth, E. Jean Carroll, Jessica Leeds, and Ivana Trump.

However, all these Trump accusers have become forgotten souls in the coverage of Joe Biden and Tara Reade.

As was the case with Donald, Joe claims “It never happened.”  We shall see how this plays out and whether or not it becomes a major nasty political ad campaign talking point by the Republicans.  How hypocritical will that be?  But when it comes to both Democrats and Republicans, there’s no shortage of hypocrisy.  It’s known as politics.

Fortunately,  for Joe Biden, the President has set the bar very low for sexual misconduct, and has brilliantly molded the voters’  mindset to simply brush off such aberrant behavior as “no big deal.”  Consequently, there should be little backlash for Mr. Biden.

So now we have two upstanding individuals running for president, Donald and Joe.  That is if Joe wins the Democratic nomination.  Is this the best we have to offer? Sadly, yes.
