... VA should just declare the situation too complex to deal with and move on. I think having to replace 3 levels of the executive branch tips the scales in favor of tending to other business in the state. This is not to suggest that sexual misconduct is not serious, just that it's OK to bring perspective to things.

(14,624 posts)1. Maybe Virginia needs to promote more women for public office?
I fully realize that there are probably just as many female racists as male, but I can't help but notice that we aren't hearing about women in blackface or women caught up in sexual scandals.

(428 posts)2. So with all these swirling Trump scandals...
....just let it go? It's all very complex so we should just not deal with it and move on. Can you imagine if we had to replace both a president AND a vice president?
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

is pretty complex too. Might be worth bearing in mind. . .

don't declare him guilty without due process.
