Also then Senator Biden didn’t protect Anita Hill. Democrats have empowered republicans for a long time and now it’s hard to contain the monster.

And, as I understand it, he regrets his stance/actions at the time (sorry I don’t have reference links, this is just something I recall reading about sometime ago). Watching the hearings then it was, to me, SO clear she was speaking truth. I was sorely disappointed that her testimony was, in essence, dismissed.

Democrats were worried about appearing to be fair. When Thomas made that fiery speech about being targeted as a black man, the Dems on the committee backed off.

Now, voters mustn’t ever consider any republicans honest, forthright, or selfless; these mistaken assumptions have got us here.

That’s a big problem. Democrats unilaterally want to be fair. Republicans don’t care. Until our side can be as ruthless conservatives will keep winning even if they have setbacks here and there.
