Former Vice President Joe Biden is not a perfect person, by any means.
Neither is any other potential Democratic Presidential nominee for 2020.
But Joe Biden is NOT a sexual harasser or a sexual assaulter, and to compare him to our President, or a multitude of other public men who ARE such, is outrageous!
Joe Biden is a decent, honorable, genuine, sincere public servant, who has devoted his entire life to public service, and has had more years and variety of experiences of any modern public figure, more than Lyndon B. Johnson or Henry Clay or Daniel Webster.
Biden has made mistakes in his judgment on legislation, and has, at times, been embarrassing in his public utterances, but he is not mean spirited, not desirous of dividing people, not overly materialistic as most politicians are.
In the mind of this blogger and scholar, he is the man in public life I have most admired for his life story and commitments to the public good, since the death of Hubert H. Humphrey forty one years ago.
He will go down in history as a great United States Senator, a great Vice President, and as a great human being.
And yet, there are those extremists on the left of the Democratic Party who are trying to destroy his reputation, and his potential to be the Democratic nominee for President, even though he is one of the most likely potential nominees who can retire Donald Trump, the extreme opposite of what Biden is and represents.
This should not be allowed to happen, and instead, let the voters decide the future of Joe Biden, not preposterous accusations that have no substance!

Ronald,
What do you mean by “extremists on the left�
The professor is talking about the women who are claiming Biden supposedly touched them inappropriately.
Thank you, Princess Leia, for your comment.
It is clear that there are Bernie Sanders supporters, NOT Bernie Sanders as far as I can gather, who want to eliminate Biden, as the major challenge to Sanders.
Again, I am NOT saying Sanders is causing it, but some of his followers are, as I see it.
