But I don’t want to see otherwise good candidates tossed out over a moment of weakness because his likely replacement could easily be worse.

The problem was he was never a good candidate to begin with. He's allied with the thug mayor of Monroe, LA, and this was known before the election. He supported amnesty, and this also was known before the election.

But no, everyone was blinded by the glare of TV personalities endorsing the guy, and apparently too stupid to make rational judgements.

I'm sorry to have to infer that many FReepers - who allegedly are the most skeptical and informed conservatives in the world - got fooled, but those are the facts.

Thanks for the perspective. Sounds like this might end up for the best?

Don't sweat it! We're not all that versed in local "Monroe, LA" politics. Glad to know he wasn't another Ted Cruz tho.

Interview with the friend, Heath Peacock.

Something doesn’t sound quite right. Maybe he’s trying to get some revenge

“I know his beliefs. When he ran one of his commercials, he said ‘I need your prayers,’ and I asked, ‘When did you get religious?’ He said, ‘When I needed votes,’” Peacock recalled. “He broke out the religious card and he’s about the most non-religious person I know.”
