re: #243 EPR-radar

Hayes is right that this cuts both ways. Voting against Republicans is the only reason I both to vote, and in the hypothetical case of a (D) presidential candidate with messy foreign entanglements, I’d vote for the (D) and hope for the best with the resulting PR damage.

Assuming the foreign entanglements came out during the campaign, my guess is the party would find a way to jettison the nominee (assuming post convention; pre-convention, I’m guessing enough voters/superdelegates would reject that candidate).

If it came out after inauguration, I suspect the intra-party pressure would be enough to get that person to resign before facing impeachment. But that’s what happens when you have a party that isn’t scared of its base/nominee/shadow.
