I am not going to hold PDJT to any moral standard other than one dictated by law and due process.
Whatever he has done in his private life does not matter.
I like the way he is running the country and will vote for him as long as he works to continue to rebuild our economy and traditional institutions.
If PDJT has committed a crime, lets see your evidence. Otherwise STFU !
Over the ensuing years a great deal continues to be written and said about the importance of the President's morality. True, during Clinton's presidency - especially during the Lewinsky episode - Republicans made a YUGE issue about morals. The Dems, never a group that was big on unchanging truth, basically said whatever happens between two consenting adults is nobody's business. That may be bad morality, but it reflected the zeitgeist (perhaps formed by a willing MSM)....Clinton was impeached but not removed - and he didn't step down.
To a certain extent, though, the Clinton situation was an anomaly. The Dems wouldn't surrender Clinton; it was a political necessity to not abandon ship. Over the ensuing years, many people - including Algore and even Hillary - spoke of Bill's actions as being reprehensible.
And so we continued flying the morality flag:
-In large measure, the Republicans held on to this "morality at all cost" approach at the Executive level - it is in part what got us W, McCain (with his multiple divorces, yes, but again society got over that in 1980), then Willard.
-To a certain extent, the Dems also played this game - they ran Gore, Lurch (yea, Mr Heinz but that was at least ok in a Biblical sense), dropped John Edwards REAL fast, ran Obama then Hillary.
All of these candidates (with the great exception of Hillary) were pretty clean morally: intact and loving marriages, went to church, etc.
Trump failed that morality test set up by the parties. The guy was an alley cat in his younger days, with two ex-wives to boot. Against the other 16 or so Republican candidates, Trump looked like a moral degenerate.
When Billy Bush's video tape with "locker room talk" arose, that that should have torpedoed Trump. Trump turned it into an asset, bringing the woman Bill Clinton abused out of dark and into the campaign.
It is also reported that Trump had a sort of epiphany, a "born again" like moment during the campaign. I think this is a vital element in this saga: a key to Trump's success with Deplorables who otherwise would not want a guy like him being around their daughters, is that he has acknowledged his past and - dare I say - repented and received blessings . He never lied about or twisted his less-than-stellar morality in his younger years. He HAS remarried and stayed faithful but he acknowledges he's not perfect.
In contrast, there are websites dedicated to the victims of Arkancide.
I have found these better behaviors very helpful when the little DoodleBobs ask about Trump's past. History is filled with heros who failed the smell test. They all rose above their imperfections. Trump isn't perfect but I am convinced he'd wouldn't be successful today if it wasn't for this repentance and honesty.
