Be better if everything is tried in criminal courts rather than newspapers, although I suppose going forward the standard for all sex offences by all offenders could be, "drop all the allegations and personal history possible into the media, then go to court".

Not perfect, but closer to the gold standard for sure.

That said, in the past, previous bits of wrongdoing have been chewed on by various political bodies, with people giving the results credence inversely proportionate to the level of approval said people have for the target of the probes. Hence my caveat.

The administration is lining up its scapegoats (Canada, fraud, etc) to blame if Republicans do poorly; conservatives not particularly attached to Trump will - with substantial cause - blame mostly the administration (rhetoric, policies) if Republicans do poorly. Democrats are priming supporters for claims of election fraud and lining up an army of lawyers if they do poorly.
