The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Would you be willing to vote for a Republican you despise for President, if the Democratic candidate had been credibly accused of a crime?

The democratic party has demonstrably rejected and prosecuted democratic suspects and proven miscreants promptly(Al Franken and Gary Hart come to mind) .

This Minnesotta state rep has been sidelined from her committees for suspected burglary of her stepmothers house (supposedly wanted her Dad's ashes, photos, etc).

Now consider the time it took for the ouster of George Santos, or Trump's pardoning of convicted thief Duncan scumbag Hunter, or the cotinued embrace of thief/arsonist Darryl Issa.

Anecdotes aside, Trump has a string of lost fraud lawsuits, a rape lawsuit, and a spectacular string of credible allegations, lies, reprehensible behaviors. Rejecting him isn't simply a matter of partisan 'despising'.

So, if the choice was Trump or a "Democratic candidate <that> had been credibly accused of a crime?", unless the crime was worse than the sum of Trump's C.V., it'd be the Democratic candidate, no doubt about it.
