Well, if that’s the worst he’s done, he’ll have no problem. But I doubt it. I’m not criticizing Sen. Thompson here, but I’d find it hard to believe that he hasn’t done something controversial in his time as an attorney and Senator. And whatever that is will be used as a bludgeon against him. Not to mention the things that he and his family has done that are completely innocent....but will be twisted and used against him in any case.
The upshot is that he’s going to take some hits. That’s not so important as how he deals with it. That gives us some insight as to his character.
