With "Mayor Pete" rising rapidly in the polls, you would assume the Left is cheering him on. Instead, he gets crab bucketed.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/03/pete-buttigieg-gay-diversity-white-male-candidate.html
Buttigieg’s surprisingly strong performance in this poll and a recent flurry of flattering pieces on his Episcopalian faith, political philosophy, and potential electability have combined to create a real sense of momentum for the man now known as “Mayor Pete.” But with momentum comes backlash, currently in the form of frustration that the well-qualified female and black candidates in the race are getting shoved aside for another white guy. When, for instance, economist Alan Cole tweeted on Sunday that Buttigieg “seems head-and-shoulders smarter than the other candidates running,” a characteristic response, this one from writer Jill Filipovic, was: “Warren, who taught at Harvard, was one of the most well-regarded law professors in the country and one of the most intelligent people to serve in the senate, but we don’t politically reward, let alone even identify, that kind of fierce intelligence in women.”

Unfortunately, that's not the only skeevy encounter Biden has had over the years. He's well known for being overly....'friendly'.
Yet another reason why another old, rich white guy is not the best choice to go up against Trump in 2020 (although I do think he'd handle Trump pretty well in debates).

There are people who think he was the last best chance for the (D)s to reclaim their "brand".

Yeah, and those people are probably old, white, rich people, too.

Some of Trump’s closest associates are in prison or on the verge of going to prison . There is no way in hell that slimy Don was out of the loop . Why else would Barr be dragging his feet on handing over the goods ?

AG: Mueller report to be released 'by mid-April, if not sooner'
William Barr writes he has 'no plans' to give Trump or the White House a chance to review the report before its release.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/29/attorney-general-doj-to-release-mueller-report-by-mid-april-if-not-sooner-1243851
Attorney General William Barr said Friday he's prepared to share a redacted copy of special counsel Robert Mueller's report with lawmakers and the public by mid-April "if not sooner" and indicated he's prepared to testify to Congress by early May.
In a letter to Congress, Barr wrote he has "no plans" to give President Donald Trump or the White House a chance to review the report before its release, ensuring that there could not be broad claims of executive privilege. Barr cited Trump's public statements deferring to him.
Personally, I'm kinda surprised he's announced it would come out that soon at all. I was much more expecting some kind of stonewalling and Congressional action to get it out there. Of course, whatever comes out in the next coupla weeks will likely be highly redacted.

Time passed and pictures started to surface of Vice-President Biden getting uncomfortably close with women and young girls. Biden nuzzling the neck of the Defense secretary’s wife; Biden kissing a senator’s wife on the lips; Biden whispering in women’s ears; Biden snuggling female constituents. I saw obvious discomfort in the women’s faces, and Biden, I’m sure, never thought twice about how it made them feel. I knew I couldn’t say anything publicly about what those pictures surfaced for me; my anger and my resentment grew.
Clearly an outright puss grab

Noooo - if Uncle Joe gets pegged as being another white guy titty grabber, no way can the DNC get him past the #MeToo contingent. Trump and Fox News would have a field day.
If the allegations are true, then Biden is doomed.

Biden would certainly hold his own against that shithead president, but that's about as far as it would go.
