RE: when did character become inversely proportional to political marketability in the US?
In my lifetime, I’d say it started when people supported the Democrats in the 1998 Congressional elections when they GAINED seats, even as they supported for Clinton after the Lewinsky dalliance was revealed ( On January 26, 1998, Clinton stated, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky”. He was caught lying a few months later after the “Blue Dress” was revealed ).
The fact that most Americans would IGNORE what they did and supported Clinton’s party told me that things have changed in this country ( for the worse ). Character and integrity have now taken a backseat to a rising stock market.
You mean like a former president who was caught lying about having sex with a 22-year-old intern in the Oval Office, and who was not only impeached, but disbarred for lying to a court being named the "Keynote Speaker" at his party's convention? Ask a democrat. Republicans resign in disgrace.
