Cuomo. He just looks like the kind of guy who'd grab a woman's butt when he walks behind her.

Don Young. He's been accused of just about everything else.

Dem: Joe Biden (He's already patronizing towards women, so this really wouldn't surprise me), Andrew Cuomo, Barack Obama (I seem to recall a book saying his White House was a hostile work environment for women), Any members of the Kennedy family currently involved with politics (yes, that includes Caroline...sexual harassment works both ways).


Republican: Rick Scott (either during his Senate race, or after), Ted Cruz (Especially if the rumors about him being the Zodiac Killer are true)

Cruz. One look at those college stories says it all.

I think Trump's sexual harassment stories will resurface before the election - fun times that'll be. Maybe the libel lawsuit goes to court.

The Elite Consensus is that the Dems will return to a white male in 2020 (this won't work, but they'll try it anyway.. the WWC is voting for Trump because of him calling Confederate monuments 'our heritage', which Gillibrand could never get away with).

So, obviously, that means Biden/Cuomo (their first choice) would be taken out by allegations. If there was some kind of sexual deviancy story from Sanders' time in the 70s, that also wouldn't surprise me, but he otherwise seems fine.

But "governor of New York hit with sexual harassment charges with female aide" feels like something I could read.

Blake Faranthold, Sam Graves, Bill Shuster, and Ken Calvert wouldn't surprise me (especially the first three).  I've also heard seen vague rumors that Jim Costa and Eric Swalwell can act a bit sketchy around women at times, but I have no idea if there's any sort of truth to that so take it with a big grain of salt.

Ryan has an awkward, nervous energy about him. He doesn’t seem like a harasser at all, but I could certainly see how he might inadvertently violate a woman’s personal space and/or make inappropriate comments without realizing it.

FFS, harassment isn't generally about sex, it's about power and asserting one's power over another. An individual's attractiveness isn't particularly relevant; his or her desire to exert power over the powerless is what's relevant.

That said, Ryan would surprise me, because I don't find him all that narcissistic.

Johnny Isakson. I have a friend who met him and found him quite creepy, between his comments and the way he was around her.

Young attractive people with families never commit sexual harassment?

Jesus Christ this forum is a cesspool.

At this point, It's probably safe to assume any man who's in a position of power has sexually harassed someone.

Mark Warner or Bill Shuster.

EDIT: Going to tack Joe Barton on here, for assorted reasons.

I wouldn't be surprised if a guy comes out and claims Rubio touched him in college or something.

It hurts my soul to see Biden mentioned so many times here. I've always thought he was just crazy affectionate with like everyone regardless of gender.

Why is that upsetting to you?

Now that I think about it, weren't there rumors that Warner stayed out of the Presidential race back in '08 because he was afraid that stories of sexual misconduct - in what form, I'm not sure, but I think it was more "he had an affair" than "he assaulted someone" - might surface?

Not an insider by any means, but I’ve heard both.
