I would vote for Joe Biden if he boiled babies and ate them. He wasn’t my candidate, but taking back the White House is that important.

Ilhan Omar states:

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said she believes Joe Biden sexual assault accuser Tara Reade - along with all other survivors - but she will still vote for the Democratic nominee in November.

What line would Biden have to cross for you not to vote for him?

If you want Trump re-elected, let Biden run.

Pulling a latex mask off his face and being Jared Kushner underneath would certainly be a dealbreaker

He would have to display behavior that made me think he would be worse then the current incumbent. Not sure exactly what that would look like. likely something along the lines of threatening to start a war.

He would have to start behaving in a more capricious, erratic manner than his opposition does and indicate that his picks for the upcoming supreme court seats will be worse then those I see this admiration selecting. However should he do that it would only lead to my abstention from voting, not voting for the current president.

This is very interesting especially taken in context of how a good number of Democrats have attacked evangelical Christians for their support of Trump. We all know Trump is, like all of us, an imperfect vessel. As such evangelical Christians are called hypocritical for supporting him due to his multiple marriages, his alleged sexual assaults and what not. Evangelicals have come out and said that this man is imperfect and given examples of how God has used imperfect people for his glory (i.e. Jacob the swindler, King David the adulterer, Solomon the idolitor and so on). Yet this is shut down as Christian hypocrisy. Now you have democrats, some who have made#MeToo into a quasi religion say that even if an assault did occur it is OK just as long as this person will take back the white house? Give me a break

What would you recommend to avoid him running?

Ask the president.

(ETA: Donald allegedly meant via a concentrated voting/lobbying effort, of course -- so yeah, let's go with that)

Perhaps if evangelicals hadn’t spent decades lecturing everyone on the morals of politicians, they wouldn’t rightly be getting called out for being outrageous hypocrites? Or did you refer to ‘imperfect vessels’ when Bill Clinton was in office?

How is it not hypocritical to give this some one a pass on #MeToo when the mantra of #MeToo is no abuser should be above reproach? (I am not saying Biden is an abuser since the are serious credibility issues with Ms. Reede but the point this particular proponent of #MeToo, Ms Omar, believes the charge to be credible yet chooses to set that aside for political expediency )

He’d have to rescind his policy platforms and propose policy that would be worse than Trump’s policy, and/ or make me think he was more dangerous than Donald Trump.

Here’s the thing, if you’ve spent four years being constantly hypocritical, no-one actually cares if you start trying to call someone else a hypocrite. It’s like Donald Trump calling someone a liar, it’s just too far off the irony scale to be taken seriously.

I don’t think we should give Biden a pass AT ALL. But what choice do I have but to vote for him, and to encourage others to vote for him as well, if I want to get the EVEN WORSE sexual offender out of office. Allegedly, of course, in both cases...

Surely ye jest.

We hear your exceedingly contrived defense for supporting Trump all the time. You argue (1) that all are imperfect; and (2) that God uses flawed people.

This is your argument?

First, Mr. Trump is not merely an 'imperfect' candidate - he is a narcissistic, xenophobic, bumbling, nasty human being who has no business being high school class president, let alone chief executive of the United States.

Second, the fact that God 'can' use bad people certainly does not mean we should endeavor to plop people like Donald Trump in positions of power.

The only argument for supporting him that I can imagine not laughing at is something like this: Yes, the man is an adolescent who is a global embarrassment to the US; however his policies seem better to me than those of the Democratic candidate.

That kind of an argument is worth having.

I believe that you should take that up with Ms. Omar ...
