Let’s hope the allegations are false and that Judge Moore does not cave to the left, but in most cases when a Republican under fire says he won’t quit the race in question, he does quit a few days later.

I think Trump showed the way for the future. You don’t need to cave.

May happen but I hope he stays and wins and then resigns if necessary. That way
a replacement can be named until an election can be scheduled. If he quits now the
dem will be the winner. I think that is the way it would play out at this late stage.

In 1989 Senator John Tower was nominated for Secretary of Defense. The day the debate on Tower’s nomination began in the Senate, Bob Woodward’s article entitled, “Incidents at Defense Base Cited, Drunkenness, Harassment of Women Alleged” appeared on the front page of the Washington Post. Bob Woodward reported that informed sources claimed Tower had been drunk at Bergstrom Air Force Base. Tower was not confirmed and the next day it was revealed that Woodward’s source was discharged from the Air Force for psychiatric reasons. Another story used against him was that he danced naked on a grand piano with his mistress, a Russian ballerina. This was reported by Leslie Stahl on CBS even though the FBI had reported they had reason to believe it was not true. Sen. Ted Kennedy told students at Yale University that he was “troubled” by reports that John Tower drank excessively and made improper advances toward women.

I’m waiting to see if he really does hang in there; if he does, I’ll be making a large donation to his campaign.
