Dems are using the Roy Moore sexual scandal to spin 2018 races

Democrats are working to use the sexual misconduct allegations against Roy Moore to campaign against Republicans up for elections in 2018 and some are using the controversy to try and raise funds for themselves, Politico reports.

Why it matters: They're making it an electoral issue when Republicans can likely do the same and spin it right back at them, given Sen. Al Franken's misconduct with journalist Leeann Tweeden. Bottom line is you can expect this issue to play out in 2018 campaign messages, and candidates on both sides of the aisle will be expected to answer for their colleague's behavior and alleged misconduct at the polls, according to Politico.

EWWWW!

I want to register a complaint about the headline of this piece.

There is no Roy Moore sexual scandal.  There are baseless and transparent efforts to get him out of the race for the Senate which, thankfully, are not working.

That seems to be the only kind of headline avaliable these days.  And that sucks big time!

There are some here who purposefully fall for things if you get my drift!
