MA-1: Morse accused of inappropriate sexual relations with college students

[YE]

Markey and Lynch are now the only two potentially vulnerable incumbents in MA's Congressional delegation, IMO.

After 2018, I don’t have real expectations for Lynch to lose. There’s a really good chance we are done with primary upsets this cycle though I’d say Markey is a small underdog.

Lynch doesn't have a serious challenger. Neal was already favored to win.

I was fully expecting Neal to lose given how primaries had gone so far actually.

Yes because the Intercept is the only one reporting that has reported this.

They’re the only ones reporting MA Democratic Party involvement, but what happened was clearly a hit job either way, although the idea that this was even remotely homophobic (his being gay was irrelevant) - as well as the argument that Morse didn’t do anything wrong (IIRC, he’s admitted to having had sex with students  at the university where he taught) - is pretty absurd.  Morse’s conduct was disqualifying, but the sexual harassment allegations by the Amherst College Dems were false, as well as a truly despicable hit job.  Both can be true at the same time.  

If Neal had any knowledge or involvement then he is unfit for public office, but so far no credible evidence has emerged suggesting that was the case (and no, a sleezy fringe website with a history of deliberately publishing false stories - including a false rape allegation - and spreading propaganda for one of America’s main adversaries basically saying “We can’t prove the MA Democratic Party was involved, but just take our word for it w/o question” is not credible evidence).

If they were his students, sure. My understanding is they weren't and he matched with students at his school where he was a part-professor via dating apps. Unless that was against their rules, I'd need to be sold that is disqualifying. I don't think Morse has anything to do with this tbh because his name is nowhere attached to it. I misread the previous post on the most recent accusations reported by the Intercept though (missed that it invoked the state party), so disregard my original comment.
