Why We Wrote This
In attacking President Donald Trump, Democrat Joe Biden runs a risk having his own résumé as a Washington insider turned against him.
As the impeachment fight between President Donald Trump and House Democrats escalates, it has largely pushed the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates out of the news.
All, that is, except one.
On Wednesday, former Vice President Joe Biden became the last of the top-tier Democratic contenders to call for President Trumps impeachment.

James was as qualified to advise on home construction as Hunter was to advise on oil. Which is to say, not at all.
So we can ask each Democrat this question:
Do you think it was okay for Democrats to ask a foreign government (Britain) for dirt on an election rival (Trump), which was provided in a false
dossier?
Wouldn't it be fun to see the tax returns of Biden, the Clintons and Obama from the date they were sworn into office up-to-and-including this year?
