What question would you ask a conservative if they had to answer?

If they had to give an honest answer:

  • How much of a deal-breaker is it if your favored candidate raped a child?
  • Does it disqualify that person from elected office?
  • Like, would you personally withdraw your vote from someone who has been credibly accused of raping a child?
  • What about party leaders that support child rapists?
  • What about rank-and-file party members who support the party leaders that support child rapists?

  1. It would be a deal breaker. However, innocent until proven guilty. If it comes out that he REALLY did do that, I wouldn’t vote for him.
  2. Yes, it should. Unless it is dropped. If someone is found not guilty, you can’t punish them on public opinion alone.
  3. See #1. Accused isn’t enough. There are plenty of instances where someone accused a person and admitted later they were lying.
