Yes, I want to believe women but the Republicans are desperate and we know they have never shrunk from paying women to lie about Democrats, while there doesn't seem to be any viciousness toward women that they themselves might find a little troubling among their own ranks.

Just waiit a couple of weeks on this one, Either the accuser will be outed as a GOP paid liar (remember Tara Reade?) or she will be vindicated

I find Platner to be a flawed candidate, but there's a huge gap between tacky social media posts (that should be telling him to lay off the sauce, maybe) and outright assault. One is legal, one is not.
