@Lash,

The Harvard professor is no more your "brother" than I am. "Ooh, a black guy, I get to call him my "brother!" — that is so affected.
As far as Biden and the Hyde Amendment:
Quote:ATLANTA — After two days of intense criticism, Joseph R. Biden Jr. reversed himself Thursday night on one of the issues most important to Democratic voters, saying he no longer supports a measure that bans federal funding for most abortions.
As recently as Wednesday, Mr. Biden’s campaign had said he supported the measure, known as the Hyde Amendment. His decision to change positions illustrates the intense pressure he faces as the presumed front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president.
This was last June.
The thing is, women have been receiving abortion services for decades in spite of the Hyde Amendment. And neither Biden nor Sanders would appoint justices to the Supreme Court who are hostile to reproductive rights.
The likelihood of Trump losing his bid for re-election is somewhat clouded by the fact that both of the leading Democratic candidates are rather weak and face opposition from factions in the party. Criticizing one candidate doesn't automatically result in support for the other. I believe overcoming Biden's negatives will be less of a hurdle and that's why I'm not supporting Sanders.
