Well, if he’s related to Barack America…

That's my biggest concern right now, too.
But, presidents tend to be wealthy, and they probably don't have the same worries that we do. A married president with children might not understand our concerns, either.
Reminds me of a very sad man sitting in the crowded waiting room at divorce court one day. He was a black man in his mid-50s. He looked like he was in shock. He kept shaking his head. When I sat down, he looked at me and said, "Never again. I waited all those years, and I finally got married, and it didn't even last a year."
I tried to lighten his mood by saying, "At least you didn't waste too much time. I just spent 20 years with the wrong person."
But, he still kept shaking his head sadly and saying, "Never again."
I know many nice people who never married, including some family members. They just never met the right person. People shouldn't read too much into it.
Exactly. It used to be that “confirmed bachelors” and spinster aunts were regular and accepted members of society. Nowadays it’s assumed they’re all homos and pedos.
Doesn’t matter— he’s not going to be the nominee.
He could be Trump’s running mate. We will see.
I do not care that he is single, I think he is a weak squish, not a fighter…and for that reason I am not a fan.
Yup..and then there is this!
If he’s weak, that’s a valid reason.
The sermon on the day Reagan died was Reagan wasn’t catholic and as a divorced and remarried man he wasn’t an example of a family man but as president he protected and defended our right to be catholic
Tim Scott won’t beat trump.
Linda Graham.
We have had a Kenyan faggot and a brain addled pedophile as presidents. Are there any standards at all anymore?
And what's worse: They're right only about 98% of the time!
I, myself, am quite sparing in my use of obscenity.

Today, one might simply be a "playah" - someone who satisfies his normal sexual needs without benefit of marriage. That sort of thing wouldn't have been as easy or common or as accepted, back in the day.

Nope and yes, in that order.
Since there is no requirement in the Constitution for the president to be married, it's irrelevant.
I agree. Even though I don’t like bachelors being picked on, it is out of the ordinary for a prominent politician not to have a family. A private, deviant sex life is a blackmail issue.
I’m single, been married 3 times, I date. But I will not get married again. My ex’s all remarried. Marriage and divorce is a racket. The laws need to change.
“it is out of the ordinary for a prominent politician not to have a family.”
Because trophy families are so legitimate..
Scott probably hires housekeepers and whatever... it’s cheaper that way in the long run. I’m pretty sure he’s real busy.
People who do not have children or even a wife should not be making decisions on the future of our nation / society. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Tim probably does show up at local events. However, when he was a Congressman, he would hold town halls where a constituent could talk with him. Now, there is just no access. I have tried through his office, but nil. I talked with Mark Sanford on the phone, two times, for a contrast of styles.
I like Tim personally, but I am tired of his rags to riches story, although I admire him personally. He sits back with his finger in the air to see which direction the wind is blowing. Very little leadership. Never Trump, establishment RINO, IMHO.
