You need to adjust your expectations, Sock.

It would be interesting to compare the prophecies of Mencken and Smith. I wonder who has the better track record.

This is the danger of too much credence in party politics. Too much of an us v. them mentality creates a huge blind spot to these sorts of allegations.

I thought it would be bad enough that a significant percentage would retain their degree of support. But to increase it in light of accusations like these, now from 5 different women?
Also, while Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, is now calling for Roy Moore to step aside, the ever predictable wench, Kellyanne Conway, is yet stuck in the tank supporting Moore. It is funny to say, but the SNL satire of Conway is way too subtle. So much so, they're missing the mark.
Re: What the hell is up with Evangelicals?
Sock Puppet, the allegations against Roy Moore are the result of the forces of evil trying to silence Christian conservatives like you and me. Judge Roy said so.

Babies have to be born to grow up to be the teenagers Roy Moore and Donald Trump molest.
