Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in major polls and may ride his low-key campaign to the White House, because he has an advantage Hillary Clinton lacked — he’s a man…and he’s not Hillary Clinton. That’s what Peter Beinart says in The New York Times. Are voters just a bunch of woman-haters who assume female candidates are more dishonest even if PolitiFact documents they tell the truth more often than their male counterparts? Beinart adds that Elizabeth Warren is more honest, but less trusted, than Bernie Sanders. In 2010, Yale researchers found that we view ambitious women with “feelings of moral outrage.”

Politifact HAS to be funded by Soros (or some other anti-American billionaire) because they seem to be quite biased in my opinion. In fact, if you dig down, you will find that many of the “fact checking” sites are funded by wealthy Leftists, and hire almost exclusively young liberals.
I hate when people focus more on the superficial traits of political candidates than how qualified they are for the job. We elected a black president… how did that work out for race relations? Not well. (Although I’d argue Obama is neither biologically nor culturally black.) I’d love to see us elect a female president… but not just ANY female. Hillary would have been a disaster. Elizabeth Warren is duplicitous to a huge degree (yes, the Indian thing, and more) and just generally not real bright despite her educational level.
Some of the truthfulness meter has to adjust for “said, but was mistaken” and “said, suspected knew was false, got caught and had to backpedal later” (IE, Got Caught Lying).
There is also the fact that you can’t be caught lying if you never get asked questions that need a false answer.
What difference does it make at this point how Biden compare to Hillary?
They just can’t let it go.
I am beginning to think H will be the VP pick.
Though the CA Rep, Karen Bass, who is also the head of the congressional black caucus may make too much sense to garner certain votes. But ready to be POTUS?
And really, doesn’t 2020 need a Karen to run for high office.
The NYT calls itself the paper of record while I call it the paper of wreckage. I judge the paper by its diseased, clogged arteries and dying editorial heart—the op ed page. It’s myocardial infarction is long overdue. When an enemy is making a fatal mistake, let it be.
Your comment made me LOL. You’ve sure got it right!
I didn’t know the hildabeast was a woman. I was convinced she was a cow. Just goes to show that you can’t always judge by appearances in a pink pants suit.
In spite of his chromosomes, Biden is NOT a man. In fact, he represents everything that is the complete opposite.
