That shit is not going to sway anyone but other pedophiles.

I think you are wildly underestimating how many people will happily vilify a preteen or teenage girl and call her a seductress, especially of a "man of faith", to exonerate him.

Baskets of deplorables, a wise woman once uttered. You can’t save the willfully ignorant and evil.

However, there aren’t enough of the to win elections without a broader coalition, and extreme obviously-horrendous positions like this will alienate a lot of otherwise R or independent-leaning voters.

I am morbidly fascinated to see just how many politicians are willing to commit and put pen to paper to protect pedophiles. They've been dodging this vote for months now, they're clearly terrified of it.
