(3,949 posts)Making a decision on who should represent the people as a Senate candidate and making a decision to convict someone of a crime are not remotely on the same level.
If he did none of things he is being accused of and forced out of the election is that fair to him? Not at all.
If he did the things he is being accused of and he is allowed to represent the people of his state is that fair to the women he assaulted. Not at all.
So there is no answer that is going to be perfect without additional facts that we are almost certainly not going to have access to prior to that decision being made. But we have to make decisions like that constantly, every day of our lives.
In my view there are more bad scenarios if he stays in that if he drops out.
