Remember, Establishment Democrats put forward Uncle Joe because he was the “safe” candidate, bound to defeat Trump.

I don't think the real insiders believed that. They only thought he would help them hold onto a greater number of seats in Congress than anyone who ran against him.

[MrEdd]

He is still probably the best candidate for that.

I agree, Biden wasn’t thought to have great odds against Trump, but was thought to give the democrats better odds down-ballot. With COVID-19, things became more unpredictable, and Biden suddenly seemed like he might have a better chance. But now, with the Tara Reade allegations, Biden is in a lot of trouble, the accusation of sexual assault is absolutely devastating to Biden’s campaign, and I don’t see it going away. It even inoculates Kavanaugh a little bit going forward (they were planning to keep dogging Kavanaugh every possible chance they could), because the evidence against Biden is orders of magnitude stronger than anything that ever came up against Kavanaugh. The Tara Reade accusation even gives Trump a little cover going forward, because they loved to keep hitting Trump with what he said about grabbing them by the “p***y.” Now, Biden is alleged to have actually done much worse than what Trump merely talked about.

I think you got it.
