Candidates such as Eric Greitens, Herschel Walker, and Max Miller have been accused of abusing partners and, in some cases, children. But some party leaders aren't convinced voters will reject them.
A recent ad from Gary Black, a Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, opens with a message on the screen: "Imagine what Democrats would do to Herschel Walker if he becomes the Republican nominee."
Meanwhile, a voter settles into their sofa and turns on the TV, which plays a hypothetical Democratic attack ad: "Did you know Herschel's ex-wife accused him of, quote, 'physically abusive and extremely threatening behavior?' " a voice asks. "That she desperately sought a protective order after Walker threatened to kill her?"

The most faithful who embrace the MEGA MAGA Illusion do not care about these allegations.

Again...allegations not charges or convictions...not even before a judge...Until there is enough to go forward that is all they are...allegations. What if I said here on RP that SSgt Richard Kensinger beats his wife daily (I won't because of the photo you have in your profile shows a lot of love there). No facts, no evidence, just supposition because I wanted to blackball you on here. I can't go back and erase it and even if I did it would be in everyone's head because it was put out there, true or not. Same here...no proof just accusations.

When your party is leaning towards an authoritarian vs democratic form of government charges such as this are an advantage, not a career stopper.

Again...here we go with the "accused". Let's throw that word out there an hope it sticks. Never convicted or found guilty of an of it. When you know you can't beat them fair and square in a straight on election on merits, resort to digging up $#!+ and hope it sticks long enough to get pas the election. Heck, Kamala did it against Biden and guess what, when she didn't get the nomination she was all the sudden his best friend when he decided to have her as his running mate. Unless there are facts to back it up with convictions then let it go.

Nice thought but for the fact is that most Atourney General office files are filled with accusations that lack sufficient evidence to prosecute. Doesn't mean things didn't happen, just not enough hard evidence to go to trial.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Without evidence and a conviction it is all hearsay. Again, slinging something up against the wall till it sticks. Biden has been accused of all kinds of things, so has Trump, so has half of Washington but without a trial and a conviction it is only supposition.
