I thought the reason (besides identifying as a "progressive" with big talk, and in fact reflecting the opposite of progressive ideals in his life), his supporters ignored his many red flags was because we have to win the Senate no matter what!!!!!!

Now we are admonished not to hurt their precious feelings??

Fuck that.
