    From Newsgroup: rec.arts.tv

    Democrats must fill vacant nomination for U.S. Senate.

    Qualifications

    1) Bernie acolyte

    2) bisexual

    3) PTSD, to excuse the following suspected behavior

    4) Rumors that both men and women were beaten up or raped who were ether romantic or sexual partners. Ability to claim "I am a changed man" and to
    blame it all on PTSD. Our last candidate didn't offend our morality
    quite enough.

    5) Everyone in the party is aware of the stories, some of which were
    subject to more credible complaints than others, but we are willing to
    look the other way because, Hey! Bernie-ite!

    6) Everyone in the party promises to condemn the nominee when the
    inevitable October surprise comes, this time literally in October.

    7) Democrats are determined to prove that they don't need help from the Republican Party to lose the Senate.

    8) Success!

    Don't forget "having the literal symbol of the Nazi SS tattooed on your
    chest". After clutching our pearls and bleating that "Trump is Hitler!" for
    the last 10 years, it gives us an exhilarating challenge to explain why it's not hypocritical at all that our exciting new Senate candidate has the Nazi death's head tattoo on his chest and how it should be of no concern to
    anyone.
