None Of The Sexual Predators In GOP Will Leave. Meanwhile Dems Will Sacrifice All.

So the Democrats clean house. It will mean nothing and they will get blasted. The GOP will ignore that they did the right thing. I do not see how we win under these circumstances. We look so weak and always run the other way. Being on the high road all the time has worked very well for the GOP.

I am so disgusted I cannot see straight right now. The fact that so many of these accusations are anonymous is suspect. The fact that the original complainant is a RW crank makes you wonder.

Then it won’t matter what we do, because we will no longer be there.

sums it all up - we do the "right thing" and we lose - because integrity is only on one side.

but I don't see it.

Maybe thinking if accused Dems resign, it will allow them more leverage to keep moore out of the Senate and also force trump to resign, saying "see, our predators resigned, so should yours". But I don't think that will work with Republicons.

Admittedly, I'm a novice at politics compared to some of the great thinkers here, but I'm trying to learn. Very little of this makes any sense to me : (

1. Every time a Dem gets caught doing something wrong, the GOP+Media will expect instant condemnation and removal now that the precedent is set...

2. Because the GOP never ousts their people, it creates a subconscious perception in the voter that "Roy Moore couldn't have done anything really wrong since he didn't get fired/removed/arrested, etc..."

The Foxheads then say that the Repubs are innocent because they denied it and didn’t resign, while the Dems are guilty because they resigned.
