Democrats have been infinitely more honorable about calling out their own party members accused of sexual harassment then the pathetic defense of Roy Moore that too many Republicans have stuck to regardless. However, ask yourself honestly. What if Minnesota's Governor wasn't a Democrat and this meant a republican would be appointed with the advantage of incumbency going into next year's election? Or what if there was an election coming up in just a few weeks against a Sirius Republican candidate? I look for a convincing explanation from Hardcore liberals and Democrats that they would still just as adamantly went Frank and to step aside even if it meant anything from a guarantee to near certainty dash dash think as if Roy Moore stepped aside for a write-in by Martha Roby or Mo Brooks two weeks ago, but Roy Moore's name still appeared on the ballot Dash Dash that the seat would flip.
A somewhat less high-profile seat, but I'd love a convincing explanation how Democrats would be just as eager for Conyers to resign if he represented say a D+ 3 seat instead of a d + 33 seat
Ben Ray Lujan, the #3 House Dem, has already called on Ruben Kihuen to step down in his D+3 NV-04.
I think the answer may be implied already, but do you agree with Lujan?
Also maybe bringing up Conyers was a bad example because a special house election will promptly fill any vacancy, whereas in my hypothetical a Republican holds Franken's seat at least through next year, and creates another tough seat to fight next year.
