Let the GOP do something about Moore and Trump *FIRST* and then we'll think about sacrificing Bill to the altar of moral superiority (Note: Even if we did nothing to Bill, we'd still lead the GOP on the moral superiority scale by a score of infinity to negative infinity)... This isn't some package deal where we hope the GOP will burn Moore+Trump if we first burn Bill...

Bill is a totally separate issue... It's very curious that no liberal pundits wanted to have this conversation until THIS EXACT MOMENT IN TIME... No matter how well-intentioned, liberals who have muddled the Moore-Trump controversy by interjecting Bill's antics from 20+ years ago are only making the GOP's crisis management easier... And now that the Franken thing has happened, it is a near certainty that Moore+Trump will skate with no consequences whatsoever.
