There is an object lesson here for the Democratic Party nationally If this is how their 2020 primary goes, with this sort of garroting down the line, killing off one another for personal transgressions, it will all but guarantee Republicans hold the White House.
Republicans are only too happy to exploit the weakness and apparently feel few qualms about their own hypocrisies. Hearing Virginia Republicans say the elected attorney general should resign over a Kurtis Blow impersonation from 1980 would be sad if it wasn’t so funny. The new standard for the GOP is that Dems must live by the rules they created, but Republicans can ignore such demands because they do not follow the Democrats’ faith.
Democrats could ignore the moral outrage over Clinton’s many failings because it was “just sex” and only the Bible beaters were upset about people having sex. What prudes. Now, some Republicans can say they don’t believe in #MeToo or don’t believe that racism is still a major part of the American experience. What a bunch of snowflakes, amirite?
