All safe senate candidates get a Roy Moore-like scandal. Who still survives?

[Former President tack50]

Pretty much what says there.

Which candidates running in safe seats would be able to survive a Roy Moore-like tier scandal? I'm going by 538's ratings here, but maybe other candidates who aren't rated as safe would survive anyways?

[MAINEiac4434]

None. They all lose or they all drop out and are replaced on the ballot.

[IceSpear]

None. Lankford or Inhofe probably would though.

[morgieb]

Barrasso would be the best chance, perhaps. Maybe Wicker.

Pretty sure all the Dems would be forced off the ballot if this happens.

Fair enough, though I was also assuming no one dropping out (say the respective deadlines have passed). Probably should have mentioned that

None of the Democrats have to fear since the media will just ignore it (see Brown, Carper, and Menendez's issues)

I doubt the Republicans would really have to worry either; I don't really think the Moore-stuff had as much effect as people think in the end. Moore being a crappy candidate with extreme views running in a Trump midterm environment brought the race from the 20-something romping it should have been to a low-to-mid single digit race; the allegations against him merely gave Jones those critical last few percentage points.

Uh, Menendez's scandal got tons of press coverage. Brown doesn't even have a real scandal. And you're really comparing Carper's to Moore's nearly a dozen accusers with pedophilia thrown in for good measure?

Beating your wife isn't a scandal?

Don't be deliberately obtuse. As I'm certain you already know, his ex wife refuted this claim.
