Story that keeps happening 1. Scandal breaks out involving someone with obvious bad vibes 2. Colleagues and admirers circle the wagons 3. Another revelation 4. Doubling down intensifies for some reason 5. Damning no-way-back career-wrecking revelation 6. “But how could we have known?”

As we enter what will be an awesome few months of arguing about "Vote blue no matter who", I can't help but remember that "Bernie Bros" who allegedly cost Hillary the 2016 election actually voted for her much more reliably than jilted Hillary voters turned out for Obama in 2008.
