(6,991 posts)I hate for it to come to that, but if thuglicans start digging around into the past private lives of some of these pols (Lest you think it's only men with skeletons), I'm afraid we may see a few Women have to give up their runs at the presidency or the Senate because they'll scare Dems into staying moral and pious while they continue on with their cheating, asking mistresses to have abortions or flat out raping women (Moore and tRumputin and who knows who else). NOT to say that sexual misconduct shouldn't be taken seriously and investigated (Which Franken isn't being afforded). However, if all it takes for Dems to turn on other Dems who'd force accused Dems to resign off of accusations alone, no investigations, which could show an accuser WITH merit, or a person that might have been paid to lie on Dem x, or show a person who might simply have an ax to grind with the person they're accusing, then the Dem party is done, because thuglicans will be running the Dem party with help from the National Enquirer because when thuglicans tell Dems to jump, most say HOW HIGH?
I'm registering as an Independent in January 2018. I've had enough of Dems being Charlie Brown to thuglicnans Lucy.
