“Sorry, you’re wrong with this blanket opinion.”

My mother has been divorced twice, and was not allowed to remarry in the Catholic Church because divorce is a sin (the same for my uncle with his second wife). My wife was divorced, and had been drummed out of her Baptist congregation, when I met her (this in my first, and so far as I’m conerned ONLY marriage).

Neither is, in my opinion, a person of weak character who cannot be trusted to make decisions that affect my life and that of my family.

It’s not a “blanket opinion” when I’ve seen it first hand and know it exists.

The sin the Church helped your mother avoid was adultery.

Not all Christians view divorce as a sin.

I don't feel divorce, alone, is a reason to doubt someone's judgement in the grand scheme of things. Divorce happens.

But serial adultery, including parading your mistress in front of your children and attempting to move her into the home you share with your children and wife, surrounding yourself with cronies who are involved in criminal behaviors and indicted on such does constitute a history of judgement that is not trustworthy.

That, plus rudi's stance on immigration and gun control is enough for me. There are other issues but those character and border safety issues are plenty to prove to me that he is not the man for the job.
