against Donald Trump. Does anyone remember The New York Times calling on the RNC to investigate all of the allegations against Donald Trump? Can anyone imagine the RNC ever doing that for any candidate ever?

The purpose of these national committees is to get their candidates elected, not to give life to allegations made by thoroughly non-credible people. If the DNC were to investigate, and they would find Tara Reade's allegations shaky, as I am sure that they would, would that stop any Republican from pushing the allegations further? Would it stop Bernie fans from pushing the allegations further? The NYTimes is not really thinking this through.
