I’m much more sympathetic than the average FReeper to politicians who get caught with their pants down. What every man dreams about having (and yes, those are guilty dreams, as they should be) is served up to these guys on a silver platter, every day. The turndown rate is what’s amazing.
I know, we’ve all turned away once or twice from that cute girl in the office, or the one whose husband/boyfriend isn’t treating her right, and so on. You all know the stories. But that’s once or twice a year, or once or twice a decade. It’s not a succession of nines, every damn day, that you can have with no strings attached, who convince you that they worship you because you’re so great.
Now, they still shouldn’t go for it. I don’t approve of it, but I understand it.
HOWEVER
If half this stuff about Cruz is true, he will not be able to go on.
Most people would not believe how many offers even moderately high-status guys get. As you note, the turndown rate is what’s amazing.
Some people here want a candidate who is totally without sin. Guess what? In 2016, Jesus is not running. I don't expect to hear Him announce His candidacy in 2020 either.

I am a woman and while I don’t condone, I do understand some women are after the rich and powerful. And some men are weak in controlling their urges. Edwards affair was devastating because his wife was dying of cancer. What kind of person does that? What pisses me off about Cruz is he was caught with his pants down while thumping the Bible. Cant preach the high road if you are rolling in the mud.
