He NEVER should have gotten as far as he did because where there’s smoldering piles and active fires everywhere already, you can expect larger blazes to start.

He was a seriously flawed candidate who was getting support from Collins haters anyway, so the Dems backed him figuring they already knew his warts & pimples that he'd blamed on PTSD, ignorance, and youthful mistakes. They didnt know that multiple additional women, who'd believed his known history would stop him winning, would reluctantly speak up AFTER it.

Victims of sexual assault are loathe to speak out publicly because people are inclined to disbelieve and accuse them of being liars, especially when they accuse "popular" men or public figures. It's the nature of sexual assault by men known to them for others to doubt them, assume sour grapes, or suspect political or financial motives.

Everything that he is currently being accused of FITS his own admitted profile of being a violent, drunken, current, and cheating womanizer who blames everything on his PTSD from multiple tours during war.

His popularity caused many to ignore his history, assuming they knew it all and could accept it if he could unseat Susan Collins.
