"Last month, Joe Biden told POLITICO that, if elected, he would maintain a firewall between his relatives’ business dealings and his administration. 'I have never discussed, with my son or my brother or with anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses. Period,' he said. 'And what I will do is the same thing we did in our administration. There will be an absolute wall between personal and private [business interests] and the government.' "

The headline above is the final Politico paragraph, here. With the current turmoil over Trump conduct, it remains true that Joe Biden has family-related worries other Democratic Party nomination seekers are free of, Bernie and Warren being examples, Harris even. Yes, Trump overstepped bounds of decency and good judgment in wanting dirt on Biden, but is there dirt or not, and even with an appearance of impropriety, Hunter having Ukraine cash flow and Joe not recusing himself from Ukraine policy when all fair minds must conclude he should have.

That image leads a troubling article about candidate Joe Biden. Never has such reporting touched Bernie, Liz, and Kamala, as already noted; nor Beto, nor Mayor Pete. Enough said, for now.

A 2020 election based on cross-mudslinging about ethics of both major party candidates can be avoided, at least on the Democratic side. The path is obvious. A nominee besides Joe Biden. It is that simple.
