I don’t like Roy Moore and I think he’ll be a terrible senator, but I don’t think the accusations against him are good reasons not to vote for him in the general election. Making sure an asshole doesn’t get elected pales in comparison to what policy they are going to enact. If you are against abortion and like theocracy, then it makes sense to vote for him.
It is the same with Scott DesJarlais who tried to pressure his mistress/patient into having an abortion and whose own wife had two abortions. Regardless of what he does in his personal life, he is still going to legislate as a pro-lifer so it is not hypocritical for pro-life voters to vote for him.
Let’s say that I got to be the sole person who got to decide whether Hillary or Trump would become President in 2016. Let’s also say that the “grab them by the pussy tape” never came out, but it did come out that Hillary finger banged children. I’d would still pick Hillary, because the damage of having Trump President is so much greater than having a child molester in office.
Am I wrong in this? Is there anyone here who voted for Hillary who would not pick Hillary under this scenario?
