How About Some Consistency on Platner?

Oh stop. Ain't been a MFer do it yet. How many bible thumpers, baby kissers, and 'thousand points of light' have you been promised?
You gotta pick your battles. I hate Israel and people who suck off that shit country and their shit religion.
So, he's a winner in my book.

Besides, 99.9% are pieces of shit to some extent or another. Think about former presidents alone.
Clinton, paedophile, recalcitrant fillanderer, chronic BS artist.
Obama had a boyfriend, smoked dope, and had a prominent mentor who was a fkn terrorist.
Bush was a drunk, a cokehead, a spoiled rich kid who couldn't wipe his own ass until he found politics.
Trump? Fk knows. Bibi will surely tell us if you run off the reservation too far in Iran.

Only because we refuse to hold them accountable.

What if its Hillary

Clinton would have cheated on Ann Margaret (picking someone of the right age range).

There's a D after his name....That's enough not to vote for him.

Exactly. So go forward and hold them to the standard. A person's past may not necessarily indicate all of your worst fears.
Yours is a saintly standard. No one can live up to that.

One does not have to be a Saint to not cheat on your spouse.

In those circles...with the type of people who run for public office at that level?
I got news for you. Those types are shitbags. A LOT of narcissists, a LOT of sociopathy.
I mean, come on, I need to explain this to you?
You do realize that the VAST majority of these people are drastically, not normal.
How many CEOs do you think are faithful? Same personality type.

According to recent reports, he sent explicit texts to other women while married.

If I were a Maine voter, my position would remain consistent: some men (like Trump) are good leaders but terrible husbands. I'm not voting for a spouse, father in law, best friend, neighbor or pastor. I'm voting for a leader I will most likely never meet. I don't rely on politicians to be saints.

I'd love to see consistency on this board. My fellow conservatives: if Trump's infidelities are no big deal to you, or at any rate, didn't prevent you from voting for him, we shouldn't be fluffing around over this.

Liberals, if you want to destroy Trump because he's a terrible husband, then you should be consistent with Platner.

But I'm guessing the number of consistent posters will be a handful at best.
