Trump boasted about bedding other mens wives. "If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married women this book would be a guaranteed best-seller," he wrote.... This is not the kind of person that I would consider worthy enough to have any interaction with much less lead my country.

Jeepers, Aquamarine. This must mean you take a very dim view of Benjamin Franklin, who was a world-class rake. Read your history!

I mean, that guy was a womanizer par excellence, constantly seeking satisfaction of his libidinous urges, especially when he was in Paris; and he didn't care whether his paramours were married or not, or even prostitutes. It amazes me the man died of late old age, and didn't succumb to the ravages of syphillis by the age of 40....

God must have loved him very much.

Yes, I do take a dim view of Benjamin Franklins promiscuous behavior and could admire him as a man even more if he had been a stronger man of character. He was lucky to have survived the consequences of his bad behavior and still had to live with the knowledge that he was weak in the way he handled his carnal temptations.

We have a choice between a world-class rake and a righteous man who tries to follow God's Laws. Why are people making this so complicated?
