This is what drives me nuts about FR this election season.
Cruz is now being accused of having extramarital affairs that will ruin any chance he had left of becoming President.
Trump admitted in his own book and by cheating on two wives that he is a serial cheater and said we’d be surprised how many women he’s slept with, and who knows maybe still is. Just because you have a hot wife doesn’t mean you change your ways..
And yet Trump gets a free pass. On all of the dumb sh*t he says and does. This place has gone mad.
This place has gone mad.
Pretty much - when both the leading candidates act like emo kids on a playground this is what you get. I am disgusted with both of them, but I will vote for whomever has the best chance of defeating Hillary because she is the biggest threat. I am starting to lose confidence that we will beat her. The rat machine will produce at least 40% so the margin is small. The more people I hear who say “I won’t vote for him” about Cruz or Trump the more worried I am.
They could have taken the high road, but once again the candidates allowed the nasty overpaid political class to tell them “this is what you must do to win” and here we are - firmly stuck in the mud and on the pages of the National Enquirer.
It's not that he gets a free pass, but that he isn't portraying himself as some holier than thou Christian. The press has always loved to reveal moral hypocrisy all across the political spectrum (see Gary Hart, John Edwards, Cong. Livingstone, etc).
