Saw her on Bill Maher's show Saturday night and was impressed.
Speaking of Maher, now even he admits, "Biden is a depreciating stock." And that is the best spin he can put on it. In other words Biden is toast. How could the Dem's refuse to see something so obvious? All they need is a reasonable person a little to the left of Trump. Look at the candidates. The parties are a fraud and bad for the country.  A third of the electorate could be independents. If they gained just a few more people... Perot was not a very good candidate and got 20%!

Any nominations?
Easy for me to be critical of the process. I haven't said look at this person. We could limit the choice to two hundred known politicians and assume Buckley was wrong when he said we could do better picking names out of a big city phone book. Does anybody think our politics are that bad?

This is simple. The company added Biden as a way to tell the prosecutor, "Don't mess with us. We are connected."
It is wrong. It is a clear conflict of interest. Why does Biden now say if elected he will not allow it?
In his interview Hunter said it was "not an ethical lapse. It is all noise." 
It is willful blindness to see it that way.

Look, I HATE Hunter Biden trading in on his name, and I think it is wrong, but the "Birther Movement" of Ukraine is total BS.

What Hunter Biden did happens ALL THE TIME. Nobody should know that more than the Orange Orangoutang himself, whose children are a stain on our government and country. 
Russ,
Ugh. I waded through your link and it's link to the NYT saying, "...there was no basis to the theory that Ukraine, not Russia, intervened in the 2016 election and did so on behalf of the Democrats."

It is still unethical for Biden's son to take that job. To see it differently is willful blindness.
If the Dems impossibly find some way to declare Biden the winner it will be Trump vs. Hillary II

The birther movement? It stirred up Trump opponents more than it stirred up Trump supporters. Trump supporters yawned while the media was locked into orgasmic fits of outrage.

The spin that has been put on his remarks by the press and regurgitated by those like you, is that Jon Karl of ABC asked him if there was a Quid Pro Quo, which he didn't.

Karl simply made a statement and claimed there WAS a QPQ.  Mulvaney responded and because the questions and the answers were flying fast and furious, things were lost in translation.

This worked out well for the Trump hating Press, and they attempted to use his response as a "gotcha" moment in their little game.  

Obviously their "gotcha" moment is sufficient for Low IQ individuals on the left.  

Mulvaney clarified more than a few times on the Chris Wallace show after being badgered over and over continuously by Wallace who kept insisting that Mulvaney said something he didn't.

The whole event is analogous to Obama telling George Stephanopoulis "My Muslim faith instructs me".  

OK then, if you are going to assert that Mulvaney admitted it was a QPQ, then it is nice to know that You believe BO is a Muslim. 

Glad we cleared that up.  
Rich, Rich, is this you? Just because he said, "My Muslim faith instructs me," does not mean it is his Muslim faith or that it instructs him.

Also, Obama can't be the only president that did not know how many states were in the union. He wasn't a History Major.
Most presidents would need help if forced to pronounce Marine Corps. Have you ever had to pronounce it, OUTLOUD?
