Ivan.... you know I love you ... but ... when he dropped out, he basically conceded that there was truth to the claims.
And if there wasn’t... then he should have FOUGHT...
I agree, it gave that appearance. I have it from someone
who worked directly with him on his campaign that I know
from a 2nd amendment group that he was warned that his wife
would be the next target of slander. If someone threatened
my wife I would probably drop out too. (I would cut their
throat later)
