The Democrats see what they believe is a political opportunity to get on the ‘right side’ of sexual abuse. What they have been concealing for decades, with limited success, now may benefit them to condemn, giving them what they perceive as the moral high ground. If they have to confess their past sins and throw a few has been pols under the bus, they see it as worth it. But when they think they’re fooling the public, they’re only fooling themselves. Shallow, transparent and cynical. In other words, business as usual.
Exactly. That, and clearing the minefields in advance of the 2018 election campaigns.
