In reply to the discussion: Allegations sink Democrats [View all]Quiet Em
(3,330 posts)54. What are you suggesting should change?
Emulating the Republicans is not the answer. Yes, Republicans seem to be perfectly fine with rape.
Republicans also think very little of women, they think women are liars and even if they aren't liars women should all be home having babies even if those babies are the product of a rape.
Republican Megyn Kelly went so far as to attempt to change the definition of pedophilia. She thinks the sick urge to sexually assault a child is ok unless they are under the age of 8.
Republicans are sick people. Rape is not ok. A person who rapes someone is not a good person. It's not hard to find candidates who have not raped.

Republicans love rapists. Democrats hate them. Does that explain it for you?

The timing could have been much much worse. A few days longer and we would have been stuck with a rapist on the ballot.
