    I don’t buy that argument. That would only make sense if Republican voters actually care about “dirt” and would not vote for a politician who was tainted. But obviously we know that’s not the case. Republicans who have been accused of everything from embezzling money to grooming children have done just as well in their elections, because their voters would still prefer a crooked Republican over the most saintly Democrat.
