Should Republicans Dump Moore Over Sexual Abuse Allegations?

Is there anything a candidate can do that is so bad it’s worth losing a Senate seat or the White House over?

That’s the going question in modern politics. It’s particularly relevant now that the Washington Post has alleged that Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore sexually molested a 14-year-old girl in 1979. Many Republicans are calling for Moore to step aside if the charges are true. But there are others in the Republican party who say that this position is backwards — that it grants the Left a seat they wouldn’t otherwise win. Moore is up 11 points in the polls right now, and current Alabama law prohibits replacement of Moore on the ballot with sitting Senator Luther Strange.
