Is Trump's Mass Adultery Relevant to His Qualifications to Being President?

OMGosh.....that is just beyond the pale.

Ugh, I shudder at thought of this weirdo being CIC.

Probably the reason that Trump and his wife decided it would not be a good idea and never tried it.

Well, considering Trump's affair with Marla was a key factor in his divorce from Ivana, SHE might not have tried it but it appears HE did...

Has Ted created one job?

Over 22,500 people have a roof over their family’s head due to Donald Trump.

Has Ted had to deal with big government, having to overcome the obstacles it puts in a businessman’s way.

Ted is an attorney. Now all of a sudden that’s the most respected job around?

We need one more attorney in Washington, preferably the White House?

Since when?

This is all I need to know about Donald Trump. Unlike a certain former president, Trump does not have any women claiming abuse, harassment or other sexual misconduct. He appears to have maintained good relationships with his exes as well. I’m sure the Gloria Allred’s of the world have turned over every stone looking for them too.

I merely pointed you are human. When the Hell did Cruz enter into thing I posted?

[ek_hornbeck]

Just having a second wife brings up the question. Can we trust a divorced President?

So Reagan was unacceptable to you? We're selecting a President, not a Saint.

If you’re referring to Heidi Cruz, that was her bout with depression. If you’ve ever dealt with people experiencing a severe mental health issue, you would know they can go wandering off in the most inappropriate and inexplicable ways. That’s not something to pin on her family members who love her.

Peace,

Flip-Flopped on Mass Deportation:
In September 2013, Cruz “noted that he had not called for deportation.”

“Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.” (NYT/Texas Tribune, 9/13/13)

Now, “over the past few weeks,” Cruz “has specifically endorsed deportations after months of resisting.”

“Cruz, who over the past few weeks has specifically endorsed deportations after months of resisting, said in an interview that aired Sunday on ‘State of the Union’ that the U.S. should catch those who came here illegally under normal law enforcement practices, not through round-ups of the estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S.” (CNN, 1/10/16)

In January 2016, Cruz said that like Donald Trump he does “absolutely” support deportation of all illegal immigrants.

“Ted Cruz said during an appearance in Iowa on Monday that there’s a difference between him and Donald Trump on immigration. The Texas senator, who is leading the field of Republican presidential candidates in Iowa according to the latest polls, was asked by a man in the state if, like Trump, he believed that all undocumented immigrants should be deported. Cruz replied, ‘Absolutely yes.’ ‘And in fact, look, there’s a difference,’ said Cruz. ‘He’s advocated allowing folks to come back in and become citizens. I oppose that.’” (BuzzFeed, 1/5/16)

Flip-Flopped on Syria:
Cruz said “we have no dog in the fight” in Syria.

“On Syria, Cruz inveighed against Rubio and Clinton for supporting a no-fly zone and arming ‘the so-called moderate rebels.’ ‘I think none of that makes any sense. In my view, we have no dog in the fight of the Syrian civil war,’ he said, arguing that Rubio and Clinton ‘are repeating the very same mistakes they made in Libya. They’ve demonstrated they’ve learned nothing.’” (Bloomberg, 11/30/15)

Union Leader editorial: “This newfound zeal for the fight in Syria is a shift for Cruz.”

“This newfound zeal for the fight in Syria is a shift for Cruz. He spent the past year positioning himself as a fallback option for supporters of Sen. Rand Paul, arguing repeatedly ‘We certainly don’t have a dog in the fight’ in Syria. Cruz has been transparently pandering to Donald Trump, hoping to win his supporters if and when the Trump bubble finally bursts.” (Union Leader Editorial, 12/8/15)

Wall Street Journal Editorial: Cruz’s “positions – and opportunism – don’t speak well of his judgment as a potential Commander in Chief.”

In the 1800’s, we have no idea what went on.

Yes, we do.

We’re selecting a President, not a Saint.....EXACTLY!!! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have someone who wins!!

[Just mythoughts]

bs you said I was a sinner... Not that I was human. Choice of words mean things. Your come back gives away the intent.

[Safetgiver]

Been to Monticello MANY times. Not discussed much there for some reason.

[DouglasKC]

Trump wrote that he once considered an open marriage with his first wife, and in his book "The Art of the Comeback" he said: "If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller."

It would be interesting to read the entire context of that statement. You strung two things together and made the implication that Trump is talking about sexual affairs. Do you have the complete paragraph and the preceding and succeeding paragraphs?

” Can we trust a divorced President?”

Is that a joke?

.

[Safetgiver]

Human = sinner. Otherwise what is the point of worshipping God?

[DBrow]

The point is, if they make a big deal about Trump’s non-rape escapades, we raise the awareness of the serial rapist and his enabling crew.

Bill had a crew of people including Hillary cleaning up behind him.

[Safetgiver]

Of course not. Why ask?

[ek_hornbeck]

Sorry, I didn't realize that your "can we trust a divorced President" was meant sarcastically, since several other posters were (in seriousness) implying the same. If we require moral purity in one's personal life as a measure of qualification for high office, then Jimmy Carter should replace Thomas Jefferson on Mt. Rushmore.

And I'm sure I'll get trashed for saying this, but Bill Clinton's affairs, while sleazy, aren't the reason I despise him as a President. With his history of shady financial dealings in and out of office, his squandering US money in aid to corrupt African governments, his support for NAFTA and GATT, and his sending our military to fight on behalf of Muslims in the Balkans, his sex life is pretty far down on my list of concerns.

[Resolute Conservative]

Ahh, wrong. Ted’s father fled communism, Barry and his baby daddy embraced it. Get your rhetoric straight.

[Resolute Conservative]

And as for the Hawaii thing, well I have not seen anything that would call that decided.
