Because most of the scandals have been bullshit. The Nazi tattoo theory didn’t make sense and the other sexual abuse story came from someone whose literal job is promoting Republicans. And it’s been clear he’s getting an avalanche of opposition funding from the rich. This is the first one that smells legit, but the timing is kind of suspicious. But more importantly, the “party” didn’t select him. They want moderate insiders with 30 years of vetting and personal relationships with donors. The voters want outsiders who are willing to try to change things.

Maybe what I need to understand the desire for respectability has been replaced with the desire to “stick it to the man”. I can’t wait for people to accuse those who withdraw support as being duped or being traitors. Believe women except when we don’t 🤷‍♀️ But more importantly, the “party” didn’t select him. They want moderate insiders with 30 years of vetting and personal relationships with donors. The voters want outsiders who are willing to try to change things. What am I missing? I see senators are mostly D or R. Do the parties not put forth candidates? Do people just get to declare themselves candidates aligned with the party?

The Nazi tattoo theory didn’t make sense I’m sorry, “theory”? And what exactly didn’t make sense about it?
