Not a mark of dishonor, for sure. Being married three times does illustrate a tendency of someone making poor choices.I don't expect my politicians to be perfect people. I do expect them to demonstrate some character. Most of us are a mixture of both good and bad traits. The difference, to me, is recognizing the bad and making an effort to be better.
For instance, if one is predisposed to cheating on one's spouse, then don't make the commitment that marriage entails. Tell your partner that's why you won't. Be open. Don't lie to someone and tell them you'll be faithful when you know you have no intention of being faithful. Not hard.
Most marriages fail. Are you the same person you were 20 years ago? I'm not.
People change. And sometimes they change in different directions. So a marriage failing is not a mark of dishonor.
Screwing average working families to make yourself obscene amounts of money when you were born rich... yeah, that's immoral to me.
But worse, cheating on your wife for six years illustrates a lying, cheating, arrogant asswipe.
That seems quite rational to me.
