There are no such thing as flawless candidates. The Democrats only need to persuade pearl-clutchers that there is a flaw by getting a half dozen liars to make accusations or say something exploitable. It doesn’t even have to be something bad... just something weird, or something they can mock, like a guy’s way of spelling “potato.”
In Moore’s case the accusation was that with a girl’s mother’s permission, he gave a girl a kiss.

Roy Moore was just the latest in a long line of flawed candidates stretching from Todd Akins (women can’t get pregnant from rape) through Cristine O’Donnell (I’m not a witch) and Sharon Angle (converted an 11 point lead to trailing by 7 points in less than a month) to Judge Roy Moore.
