re: #114 Targetpractice

The argument of the “Toss Franken” crowd is changing as the initial “outrage” slacks off, from “THIS WAS SO OUTRAGEOUS, HE NEEDS TO GO!!!” to “IF HE DOESN’T GO, THEN WE PLAY RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS!!!!”

Meanwhile, none of them can explain what to do if Franken resigns and Moore still gets elected. What then, they bash their heads against the wall demanding he resign? Or perhaps they’re delusional enough to think that any Republicans who face allegations of sexual harassment/assault will follow Franken’s example rather than arguing that the voters (read: their base) are cool with that behavior because they elected Moore?

The Republicans actually don’t care about Moore’s attraction to teenagers. The GOP expressed similar outrage about Trump after the Access Hollywood tape and now — silence, with the exception of the true Never Trumpers. The only sin that the GOP won’t forgive is an interest in boys rather than girls. But all they want is another body who votes for tax cuts for the wealthy. Their only concern was that Moore might lose, not that his views on issues are outrageous and his private behavior was criminal.
