I do think it is a poor one as it makes it seem like that kind of opinion is something we should care about/by comparison has a slight tinge that Trump's marital relations are immoral. Still very unlikely that a twice divorced Hil would be looked upon kindly.

I know, right?  Especially since he eventually married every mistress he was cheating on his wives with.

I don't know that I'm all that bothered by cheating in general except that it is quite a sign of weakness. If you want to mess around with other people when you've ostensibly entered a monogamous relationship than have those awkward conversations ahead of time.

It's supposed to be pointing out a double standard. Powerful men are not looked down upon (as much) for marital infidelity.

Oh, of course, I know that's what they are intending - just has some bad connotations as I noted.

Collective insanity. What can you do.

It has been going on for almost 2000 years. If they haven't wised up by now, probably nothing.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I think that marital infidelity is a pretty big sign of poor character in general.  But I can't really hold it against Trump because Clinton supporters have spent much of the last 24 years telling us that we shouldn't hold it against Bill. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of other things to hold against Trump.

The difference is Bill's women knew they were having a fling, whereas Donald's women thought they had found true love.
