1. Dukes up, Donald
At a Pennsylvania rally, Joe Biden expressed disgust with Donald Trump’s stated belief that stardom permits and excuses sexual assault. “What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make,” Biden said. Then he continued…
'I wish we were in high school'
He said, ‘because I’m famous, because I’m a star, because I’m a billionaire, I can do things other people can’t.’ What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make. The press always asks me, don’t I wish I were debating him? No. I wish we were in high school, I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish.
– Vice-president Joe Biden
