Oh the horror! Quick. Get me the smelling salts. I may faint.

This is still an issue twenty-four years later? Hmm.
Gasp
He must have grown up in...horrors...America
Alright.
So what? Clinton and Obama snorted cocaine, and the Leftist media never batted an eyelash about it.
At this point, I am more likely to distrust the pols who claim they never tried it.
Only rock musicians are allowed to smoke dope.
So?
I tried meth and got new teeth.
But, I’m a skinny whip...

Good to get this out in the open early in the game, whether true or not. Might influence some less-than-conservative voters to vote for him.
So what?
If the use of marijuana, cocaine and other drugs was no problem for a demonrat running for the presidency in 2006 why would drug use be a problem for anyone running now?
Hmmm, so he has mental illness lurking inside... Disqualified!
Ted Cruz has to instruct his spokesman to ignore these media witch hunt questions.
#1 - they don’t matter
#2 - must not let the media determine what a qualifying characteristic really is.
The proper reply would be “Next question please, and this time ask a question with substance”
Better question for the journolistas: does all the pot use collectively of the potential Republican candidates amount to as much as that used by Barak Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama?
Really? A quarter of a century later we’re still in the “I experimented” phase? Politicians need to start answering this with eye-rolling and disdain. They grew up in America, and they weren’t Mormon or JW so yeah, they smoked the smoke, and probably plenty of other stuff too. One of the many signs of the idiocy of the WOD is the number of highly successful people 2 generations later being cagey on this question, it’s clearly not a barrier to success, we need to get over it.
It’s all about the media choosing who will be allowed to run for President. Hillary will probably never be asked, and she would lie anyway, so no matter what, it won’t be an issue for her.
The reason so many people are liberals is that liberals don’t need rules. They never have to say no. Pretty much any issue, if it is easier to just let them do it, liberals will be on that side. Conservatives have rules. Be honest, trustworthy, chaste, whatever.
It’s like Dad and Mom: Dad says no, you can’t ride your bike after dark, Mom says be careful when you ride your bike after dark. Dad is always less popular than Mom.
If a Conservative says they never tried drugs they paint them with the “too niave” brush, if they tried it once they try to paint them with the “He’s a druggie” Brush, meanwhile the current Dim President did far worse drugs and ADMITTED TO IT IN BOOK, not just once usage but PROLONGED brain melting usage!
But did he sell cocaine? That’s what makes him presidential material.
