The democratic party has demonstrably rejected and prosecuted democratic suspects and proven miscreants promptly(Al Franken and Gary Hart come to mind)

Sure, when the stakes were low and the replacement was certain to be a Democrat. In other contexts, say Ralph Northam or Bill Clinton, they weren't able to toss the miscreant quite as promptly. I can't be the only old-timer who believes that if Clinton could have run again in 2000, he would have won the nomination handily.

So, if the choice was Trump or a "Democratic candidate <that> had been credibly accused of a crime?", unless the crime was worse than the sum of Trump's C.V., it'd be the Democratic candidate, no doubt about it.

What about De Santis, or a similar RWNJ that hadn't been convicted of any wrongdoing?
