If there are 6 female Republican senators, and if two or three were sexually assaulted

at some point in their lives, would their party affiliation over-ride their anger and hurt over the event?
They know how it feels, and we have a current thread of our women explaining those feelings, so wouldn't it seem logical that those senators would vote against the sexual assaulter no matter what? Could that happen? Or is it so far off that it couldn't happen? In the current thread, it is clear that this is never forgotten...never
But I don't know, and further, it is unlikely that those female senators have shared openly about that experience, and again, I don't know.

But that’s for regular folks that feel stuff - not for these types who can vote to end healthcare

and he has any sensitivity at all, (it wouldn't take much) that man would never forget what he heard. And especially those feelings expressed as he heard it. I wonder if he would put the Republican parties nominee over those feelings. After all, Trump could nominate another who has no background like that, and get that person approved. Don't you think?
