The allegations that JOE BIDEN inappropriately touched women are nothing new. Republicans were SCREAMING about all of this when Joe was Vice President under Barack Obama a decade ago, but Democrats turned a deaf ear. So why are the Dems (most of them, anyway) suddenly eager to delve into all of it NOW?? It's NOT, in my opinion, because the "MeToo" movement has gained popularity as they would have you to believe. However, there are OTHER possible reasons which I will attempt to explain. WARNING: PLAUSIBLE, THOUGH NOT PROVABLE, OPINIONS ABOUT TO BE STATED...
When Obama was Vice President, Biden was USEFUL to the Democrats....which is why they ignored his public pattern of sexual misconduct. I'm going to refrain from using the well-known phrase "useful idiot" about ol' Joe because that's TOO harsh!! But let's be honest, anyone who has heard some of Biden's GAFFES knows that he's not exactly the brightest guy in the world. And, the Dems NEEDED him then, they needed a white guy whose name was familiar to the public who was so....gaffe-prone that he'd make Obama look smarter than he is by contrast (kind of to "balance out the ticket.") Biden was PERFECT for them in 2008, so they overlooked his faults because they lusted to have "The First Black President" at any cost. He helped "sell" Obama to racist white Democrats that were leery of Obama because they SINFULLY stereotype all blacks as lacking the intellect to lead.
In short, in my opinion, they KNEW about Joe's "touchy-feely" misconduct THEN but they were "Biden" their time with Joe (to try to interject a little humor into a very SAD situation.)
They NEEDED him then, you see.
In 2016, after Obama-Biden's 8 years were up, Democrats tried to have "The First Woman President" and failed, but they are going to try again in 2020. Look at all the women who are running!! There's a problem, though....BIDEN was polling as the #1 selection among all of those who are possible 2020 candidates. Therefore, the Dems NOW (finally) take the allegations against Biden seriously like Republicans did YEARS ago. They want to nuke HIM and push the WOMEN, for 2020. In other words, Joe is no longer "useful" to the Democrats, at least not as a front-runner.
Who knows, maybe when the Dems nominate their female candidate in 2020, they'll need ol' Joe to balance the ticket AGAIN, and he will get ANOTHER Veep slot. If that happens, all of their current outrage over his past sins will be forgiven and forgotten. And, as for JOE?? That would be a job promotion for him, were he the Veep with a WOMAN in the top slot.
He would get to grope a PRESIDENT this time, you see.
