180. You are missing an even more obvious and glaring fact

Neither of those parties can win without independent votes in most cases. So, it's pretty damned obvious that enough independents, like the Republicans, to keep the party taking the negative view out of the majority. Consistently.

So, here's what you do. You vote for the substandard Dem, not because you approve of their behavior, but because we need to win. Losing will hurt a helluva lot more people than, for example, Platner hurt. (Yeah, it's crappy, but it's true.) When you win, you try to get him to resign. If he doesn't, you spend the next six years finding a good candidate to replace him. Between here and there you make good policy that helps average Americans.

Losing the Senate over some ass clown removing condoms without permission seems unbelievably irresponsible and foolish.
