I don't think it plays well for what his campaign.

While obviously not a positive, it's far from MOAB. Was anyone surprised at all? Seemingly rich guy pays little to no income tax... also, water is wet.

My point being, it's a bunch of nothing and if Biden tries to use it as an angle of attack, it's not going to end well for him. Biden is better off to completely avoid any financial affairs, international connections and anything to do with Trump's family. Honestly his best bet is to remain silent, but these are 3 very specific areas that he'd get buried on if fires at them.

Now, if they can get some kind of legal clarity that fraud was committed, it's a different story. Because then Biden can stand by legal ramifications and downplay his own by pointing to the lack of legal impact.

You don’t feel Trump gonna hurdle those 3 things regardless at Biden?

Just hope Biden learned from Hilary debates. Don’t try the high road. Go for the sound bite

What is the alarm that should be going off that would preclude him from being president?
- A guy with multiple bankruptcies has more debt coming? Nothing illegal there.

So all that matters to you is if it passes the illegal/legal bar?

It's not relevant information to know who he owes 400 million plus dollars to?

Don't you guys like to brand yourselves the common sense party?

I feel like I haven't seen that commercial in like 20 years but I also remembered half the lines.

We normally get together a few times a week anyways. This just an excuse to do it on a Tuesday.

Preach!

I exchange my pleasantries and small talk, and that's it.
