Of course its a valid issue. All candidates have to face questions about their past and many will face much older questions. Trump has been a celebrity for 30 years and has a container ship full of ammo following him around.
Hell, I remember FReepers happily beating up on Rick Santorum’s wife for dating a doctor in college who later performed abortions. Herman Cain and a supposed past affair. Michele Bachmann and her history of Migraines. The pics of Newt & Nancy sure weren’t out of bounds.
I guess Donald Trump’s blaming Pam Geller for the Garland terror attack is also “ancient history”.
I understand the passion for defending one’s chosen candidate. That is partly why I have chosen to wait as long as possible before choosing. I want to wait until all the little details about everyone come out. Until they have their chance to respond. And until I can ponder all of it for a nice long time.
Age has that effect.
