People who pride themselves on rational thinking know there are few feelings worse than being wrong about something, especially something that they made a big noise about at the time.

Google Rubio on them, gay, mistresses, and Jeb started them.
We knew going in that Trump cheated on wife 1, this one speaks very poor English like another former Governor and actor does. What is she wife 3? Are we going to have another philandering JFK zipper issue here?
