Yes, how sad. A man with no actual political experience who had a tax plan that benefited the rich at this time of increasing concern about wealth and income disparity in his country, made really ignorant sounding and simplistic statements about how to conduct foreign policy, was denying the significance of the biggest long term environmental issue ever, and made very ostentatious displays of the significance of his faith, has come to grief over women (and men) saying he has a history of conducting himself inappropriately around women.
Yes, everyone knows Democrats have got away with much worse in their private lives, but everyone should also know that if you're going to run with being a really seriously religious guy, and sing Gospel spirituals at the drop of a hat, a pattern of sleazy conduct in the past is likely to bite you hard. Unless, I guess, you're going to play the role of the repentant sinner; but Herman is not having any of that.
The fact that he thought these would not come back to hurt him just shows his poor judgement. But as I say, it's not as if that wasn't already obvious from his actual policy positions. That Tea Partiers were smitten with him just shows what a hopeless bunch they are.
