    You really have no strategic sense at all.

    No, it should not have been made public like that. Sure, leak that shit via a news article or something but it should never have been used as an impeachment offense. The left has a big problem and until it’s solved we will never be able to take this country back completely from the magats. We throw people under the bus way too easily for offenses that aren’t world ending and have no bearing on doing their job or serving the country. I’ve lost count since I started paying attention in the early 90s, way too many good politicians (if questionable people/partners) have been kicked out of the mainstream and left in the virtual gutter because they did something like cheat on their wife with another adult.

    Plenty of these relationships happen all of the time and no one goes to prison for it or loses their job, etc.

    From what I remember when the real story finally came out, she was okay with it. He didn’t rape her or coerce her, she was using her mouth and pussy to get closer to power. You lot need to stop giving her and other women like her a pass just because he was her superior. She wanted and liked it until Tripp convinced her that she had been wronged.

    Again. Playing this nuance game only hurts the argument from the side of common sense. Not unlike trying to explain that climate change means more than just hotter summers, it also means colder winters in some places as well.

      Questionable people make great politicians. That’s sorta a problem, though, isn’t it? Maybe we should try letting people who aren’t so questionable have a shot instead of strategizing about how to keep shitty people in positions of power because it serves partisan goals? I know… crazy thinking, right?
