So now we're seeing a pattern where Dems who are accused of sexual misconduct resign or are outsted, whereas Republicans don't care. I mean, it's a feature not a bug: the Republican base either doesn't care about assaulting or harassing women to have it bother them or they actually see it as a mark of strength. See also Roy Moore, whose teen attacking ways are apparently part and parcel of religous life in rural Alabama, and the Prez himself. More women have accused him of abuse (and of course we have him on tape bragging about same) than have accused Al Franken (and the tenor of Trump's abuse is way more serious) but Al steps down while Trump calls him names. We now know that there are literally no limits to Republican hypocrisy. They'll shoot you in the face and then have a fit if you bleed on their rug.
That which doesn't kill you weakens you slightly and makes you less able to cope until you're completely incapacitated
