A conservative candidate can never be good enough or clean enough to pass the liberal test and be safe --- if there is nothing there, they will simply make something up and then pay the witnesses to help them remember. Once accused, it is just a matter of repeating the accusation over and over again until all the holier-than-thou in our ranks are shamed into falling in line with the liberals because they can't in good conscience vote for someone accused of such a thing. Presto --- they win!!!
That’s all well and good, but if the candidate can’t give an unequivocal denial of any bombshell allegations leveled against him, he shouldn’t expect others to ride to his defense.
