Putting the Hunter laptop content aside, will a potential Hunter tax evasion charge hurt Joe’s reelection chances?

Reason why I ask is if he gets Federally charged, Joe will most certainly pardon him. With that said, does it do damage to his increased IRS agents to go after tax cheats? Also, the rich should pay their fair share stuff? Might sound a little hypocritical.

Both parties need to find vastly better candidates but at least the democrats can reason that they are hiding behind the whole incumbent thing (not that I think they should) for the republicans to put Trump back out there as the candidate is nuts.

The only candidate Biden can probably beat is Trump.

Biden would also beat Ron DeSantis should those two go head-to-head. But if the Republicans actually find a sane candidate for 2024, then all bets are off.

I would suspect the charges would result in fines, which he would pay. I can't see his dad granting him a pardon.

Why do you feel Biden would beat DeSantis?

Desantis can't control his Florida Congress members. Most all endorse trump.

So now we are downgrading Hunter’s tax charges, but upgrading Trump’s in Manhattan? Please explain. My point stands, does this hurt Joe’s stance on paying your fair share? Of course not, press will not put 2 and 2 together. If convicted of a felony (I agree he won’t because you know), Dad will not give him a pardon?

What about the entire Biden families ignoring of Hunter's love child? Hunter Biden having to be ordered for a paternity test, court ordered to pay child support, apparently he is living at the White House to avoid being served, and is now being court ordered to attend certain hearings or proceedings.

I get all politicians have crazy family, skeletons in their closet, and all are generally shills to various donors and corporations etc. And most don't seem to be good people. However, I have a hard time envisioning myself being able to completely ignore a grandchild of mine even if my son was a total shithead who decided to do so himself. I don't know, that just seems so wrong.

Trump has his own very public issues obviously, I am not fan of his and would never vote for him. However I don't want to vote for Biden either for many reasons.

I just don't get how we can't have any quality candidates to present, or if we do, why can they not win the nomination?

I don't want to hear anything about family values from either Trump or Biden if they both are running.

Maybe but I am not so sure about that. I think he definitely beats Trump. I think DeSantis is much more of a toss up.

Last I checked his job is to run FL not his party.

As to that…Check plus.

Haha…

I don't think Americans care about a Hunter Biden laptop. The horse has been beaten long enough.
