It's ironic that Republicans can engage in dysfunctional sexual behavior and it is ignored: Trump, Kavanaugh. The Dems immediately address the issue of one of their own and call for resignation.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I've noticed "an end justifies the means mentality" . This is especially expressed by Mitch McConnell.

Republicans are like Bible thumping people. They indirectly say, do as I say, not as I do. They close ranks and use it for protection, attack with half truths or half lies and attack the Democrats. The Democrats take the moral high ground and do not want to get their hands dirty and usually lose their fights that way. Democrats do not put that much pressure on the Republicans thus helping the Republicans get away with murder, sometimes literally. When Republicans smell blood, they are relentess in their attacks and the Democrats shy away. Sometimes one has to fight fires with bigger fires.

Exactly, and well put.
An active Democrat for many years, what I’ve witnessed ..and what you’ve described is, in my view, the way men deal with women. Might makes right, violence at will, arm-twisting and bully tactics, or just - get out of my way.
And as I’ve only hinted to our party members ..we’ve become a party of women, unwilling to fight. We hold the moral ground, we’re known for kindness & care, we’re relied upon to clean up every mess … but when things appear to be going well - we’re shoved out of the way and ignored.. As a guy ..that’s been both hard to watch - and hard to take!
I’ve used this recollection before, but find it telling: Tuff campaign in a congressional swing district. I was erecting our signs (cuz apparently only guys know how to work post-hole diggers & portable drills) -- our opposition were tearing them down! One 4x8 was found ‘sawn up and stacked like cord wood’ along the Interstate..
Fuck that, thought I.. So, theirs began disappearing, too (Halloween night serves all kinds of purposes - though late in the game). At our next meeting, I described the ‘action up north’.. “What?!” she crowed - “Democrats don’t do things like that!” ‘No,’ I said, ‘they lose.’
I believe women are a majority in this nation. Not sure what percentage are hooked to religious republicanism, but the numbers aren’t working. Many resent, even hate the power and audacity of men ... but appear powerless to take it on. Many don’t appear to appreciate or care if they lose the respect of men working ..and losing alongside them… Leaves me lost 
Definitely a purity that’s not rewarded.

We'll see in 2020. There may be some conservatives and middle of the road voters who voted red who have had it with the corruption now prevalent in the Republican party's "the end justifies the means" playbook. I don't know. I just don't want to be part of a race to the bottom.
Kavanaugh was accused and the fbi cleared him as i hope that in the case of Virginia’s Lt. Governor his case will be investigated and if he’s guilty he should be removed from office.
But if he’s cleared then his accusers as well as his party peers will apologize and allow him to do his job.
My biggest issue with the current political atmosphere is that reactionary behavior has become the acceptable thought process for the Democratic Party.
But what can I say other than if you’re going to falsely accuse people for the purposes of political gain then don’t forget to make sure that you’re own house is cleaned first.

Varn:
The FBI ‘investigation’ of Kaviar was limited, not only in scope, but findings.
..and more garbled actuations, from someone acting outside a party?
It’s apparent you think it’s cool to down either party, with impunity, if lacking commas 
But I suspect you also realize how alienated that keeps you.. Perhaps your desire, though hardy what it takes to claim or expect credibility ~
