2. It's all a big GOP smear.. Of course he did a good job "explaining"

He hasn’t done anything wrong.

Guilty til innocent. That’s a GOP platform for Dems. Not so much themselves.
Then folks on DU start repeating and questioning Dems about the shit.

Seems to work every time for them.

Already a loss. He comes across as privileged and shady. I am a Biden fan. I think he has the best chance for the independents, but even I can see this does not look good. Hunter Biden is no Beau Biden. He is a grifter at best. His whole story is disgusting. Divorcing his wife dating Beaus wife now marrying a woman he only dated for 2 months. This is all going to be front page news when Don the Con gets through with him. I a sick for Biden that he has to deal with this, but we are in upside down world. It doesn’t help if we are trying to deceive ourselves. He needs better coaching because this is not the last interview he will be doing.

life, the story you find “disgusting,” that’s National Enquirer stuff. It’s best not to comment when we know none of the parties or the circumstances. In any case, the only people who would use
Hunter Biden’s personal choices against Biden are gasping at straws and trying to convince others to do so.

5. We already know that Dems are going to vote for Biden we are talking about the 5-7% of independents

And never Trumpers. Bidens son will have an impact on them just like Hillary’s emails had an impact on them. Dems are going to vote for anyone with a pulse that has a D behind their name. We need Trump out of office. He is dangerous and as far as Enquirer stuff, it is out there. He as done these things it is not just gossip or rumor. It will come up because Trump will make sure of it. Even though he has done worse the man has no shame.

nothing to do with my support for Biden. That Repugs will stir this and other garbage up about Biden or whomever only means I won’t play.

No candidate will be immune whether to use of personal stuff, outright fabricated stuff, or stuff
that can be stirred by proposals. Of these weapons, proposal fear-mongering works the best. Voters know they don’t have to live with Hunter, but they will be personally affected by candidates’
policy proposals should any see the light of day.

Hunter Biden’s character won’t make or break Joe Biden’s prospects in the GE. Supporting M4All
is going to be decisive, for good or for bad.

1) Putinovich Trumpski's kids are actually engaging in corrupt business dealings, esp. Kusher. Therefore, by Trumpski's Rule of Projection, he accuses his rival of what his family actually does.

2) Hunter Biden is a liability for Joe Biden. He's faced many challenges, including addiction, and is a flawed human being. He is, unlike the Trumpys, trying to do right.

Comparing the two, one is a vast barrel of festering rotten apples and the second is an orange with a couple of scratches on the rind.

better start worrying about his little back-channel 'rewards' for being a loyally ignorant toady and strutting his chinless face around his father--the Holy Orange Cheesus--all over the world. The Bidens outclass those grubs a thousand times over.

Joe is and Joe has done nothing wrong. Hunter did not break any laws so I don't see anything wrong here.

10. I agree. I think we should treat this all like the "nothingburger" that it is.

Hunter has been through a lot in his life. Whatever his imperfections, they pale in comparison to those of the three Trump Children of the Corn.

We need to stop being on the defensive and just say, "So what? What about the Trump kids?" Just keep throwing it back at them. They do this to us because we buy into it so easily.
