“Reporting” on a person’s character - be it Trump, Biden, RFK Jr. - etc. can be a bit subjective.

“Reporting” on a person’s character - be it Trump, Biden, RFK Jr. - etc. can be a bit subjective. You seem to have reflected on Trump’s Access Hollywood tape as a “No No” moment (although when asked by me specifically if his claim of “locker room talk” was your objection or if it was the “grabbing” which has been - in one case - adjudicated, i. e., E. Jean Carroll). You also “report” on Joe Biden’s “finger.” And now, upon seeing the New Republic article (and I pointed out a New York Post article) about RFK - you became “soured.” And yes, CHARACTER is very important when it comes to Leaders - in government, in business, and in “ordinary” life. However, policy - political, business, etc. - can be studied and tracked and analyzed over many years/decades. Take New Deal type economics and Trickle Down economics. Two different approaches - two different outcomes have emerged over the decades. Which economic POLICY do you believe is the best for the entire USA?

Paul,
Your condescending tone is not appreciated.
If you choose to believe Tara Reade, then what Joe Biden did to her ("penis finger") was worse than Trump's grabbing, because it involved penetration.
