Unbelievable.
Most incredible proof of REPUBLICAN TRIBALISM yet. (And no, MSM, BOTH SIDES DON'T!)
Quinnipiac poll shows that TWICE AS MANY REPUBLICANS are still willing to vote for a sexual predator, as long as he's their party's candidate, than Democrats.
All I can say is....FUCK YOU, so-called 'values voters.' Just....FUCK YOU!
Question: "If a candidate has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, would you still consider voting for them if you agreed with them on the issues?"
DEMOCRATS: 81% say NO
REPUBLICANS: only 41% say NO
There you have it. 60% of Republicans would still vote for, or consider voting for the Republican candidate, even if he's a sexual predator. That explains the results of EVERY ELECTION since 1992.

(5,954 posts)1981: Republican tribal leader Ronald Reagan says "Russia Bad...Free Trade Good." And they all got behind that.
2017: Republican tribal leader Donald Trump says "Russia GOOD...Free Trade BAD." And they all get behind THAT.
I can't believe the mainstream media is still pushing the idea that this has ANYTHING to do with ideology or 'issues.' This is purely and simply about which candidate is wearing the right tribal feathers and war paint.

(6,139 posts)I can 100% say if here in California there would be an alt right candidate polling well and democratic candidate running against with all kinds of verifiable accusations. Without a shadow of a doubt I would vote for the democrat even if he/she has done something unspeakable. This is because there is no one to spare in the senate, SC and the entire judicial system, pur democracy and the entire world economy and workd peace are at stake. Yes, I would vote for a despicable human being in an attempt to save the future for us and our children. It is the votes that count in the senate so I, for one, care about their votes and proposals not their moral character. We had people with good moral character like Bush anyone? Look what he has done to our country and how many thousands have died? Much much worse than all those pervs did combined.
It is not hard to imagine that moore is likely to succeed in AL.
