When will people learn to not get involved with their bosses or subordinates?  (Human nature being what it is, probably never.)  Even relationships with coworkers are usually a problem.  I've seen many office romances over the years, and most of them had unhappy and disruptive endings; although tbf, two of them did result in happy marriages.  And I've seen at least two people fired for having an affair with a subordinate.

Hopefully her district sees the light and votes out her decadent and degenerate party in the special election.

(Insert sounds of hysterical laughter at a member of the party of Roy Moore, David Vitter, Blake Farenthold, Mark Foley, etc. casting stones about the other party's decadence and degeneracy.)

Just because many Republicans have engaged in this kind of behavior doesn't excuse what she's done. And I could list off the Democratic politicians who have been caught in similar kinds of scandals.

But at any rate, this is good news. Given that this district is continuing to trend Democratic, I expect that they will be able to hold it. Lean Democratic seems to be a sufficient rating.

I never said that poor behavior by some Republicans excused Hill's behavior; I don't condone it and believe resignation was the proper course of action.  I was simply calling out Nuke's hypocrisy for calling the Democrats decadent and degenerate even though it is clear that they have far from a corner on that market.

ETA: To clarify, what I don't condone is Hill having an affair with someone over whom she was in a position of authority.  I don't care about the other aspects of her relationships.

Wow, didn’t even last a full year. How many House members have had shorter terms than this?

I'm sure there are other examples, but the one that springs to mind is Shelley Sekula Gibbs, who served for seven weeks.
