Imagine, the Democrat Party making a scandal out of a married man, Jack Ryan, having sex with his own wife.
On, BTW, nice twist there. The problem wasn't with him "having sex with his own wife", it was him having sex with his own wife in an open and public setting.

And to use your own words...To deny these FACTS is to deny reality.

By all means, you're free to believe the sensationalist, trumped-up bullshit you read in the liberal, lamestream media in Chicago and attempt to cite it as "fact." You go right on ahead.....

Right, his own wife. HIS OWN WIFE. Not a girlfried, mistress, hooker, whatever. HIS OWN WIFE. And so-called Conservatives LIKE YOU allowed that to be turned into a scandal?

Please. Again, you're free to believe that which the liberal lamestream media force-feeds you about the "open and public setting" bullshit.

Go right on ahead. All yours.

The sad part is that even though no public sex acts ever happened, due to her protestations, the knowledge that he would stoop to such a low act with such a prominent personage was sufficient to ruin him.
If you were a woman in her position would you have done what he wanted...in public?

As to the tactics...getting the records released is secondary, IMO. He shouldn't have asked it of her in the first place, much less seek public office with that sort of thing lingering from his past.
Think Anthony Weiner...it always catches up to you.
