why does Donald Trump get to stay in the WH, but Eric Swalwell has to drop out? And I don't mean IOKIYAR.

Is it because Democrats' bad sexual behavior is politically contagious and disgraces the Party while the same doesn't seem to happen to Republicans?

2. Because Dems have a moral compass

And Trump and the republicans do not.

4. Wilhoit's law.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” That line—written by Frank Wilhoit—has become a popular aphorism to sum up the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the modern Republican Party.

5. Repubs tend to circle the wagons for shit like this...

OTOH Dems tend to form circular firing squads.

10. Because no one expects Republicans to be anything except repugnant swine, while

Democrats stand for common sense and basic human decency. When a Democrat betrays those values it reads as hypocrisy. Republicans have nothing to betray because they are essentially nihilists.

11. Because Democrats don't believe in the presumption of innocence when it comes to Democratic politicians.

We insist on an immediate political execution and may worry about the truth later.
