I know it's wrong to make fun of people, but he really DOES look like Count Chocula. And Donald has the worst comb over ever. It looks like a loose piece of roofing.
Dang it, it's hard to click the Like button when I'm laughing.

Still a step above your guy who openly brags about infidelity.
He has in the past I'll give you that. Haven't heard anything like that in the recent past. And maybe the perception of his bragging is his way of admitting it. I'd rather have that than a person trying to hide their dung pile.

All you have at your disposal right now is hearsay. If something substantive concerning Cruz's affairs does arrive, we shall talk. At this point, open admissions of infidelity (even past ones) are way more damning if we consider marital fidelity to be a important quality of a president.

That ship sailed a LONG time ago. It was at least kept somewhat under wraps up until Slick Willie brought it all out into public, and was met with a collective yawn from many of the voters.

We, as a nation, do NOT expect marital faithfulness from our presidents. We might as well be France or Italy, in that department.

I'm not in one camp or the other. It's just that the behavior of humans doesn't surprise me anymore.

I'd rather someone not commit/hide their adultery or someone that brags about it.

But you make it seem like we have to pick between an ashamed adulterer or a proud one. I'm saying, there are other choices to pick from where adultery was never a problem for them. Ideally, I'd rather pick one that is neither. Feel free to disagree as you clearly have.

If a candidate can't be trusted to be faithful to his/her own spouse, how could we objectively trust them to be faithful to the American people?

This doesn't mean we don't forgive people or that God doesn't forgive those who sin, it just means their integrity takes a huge hit. I think integrity and the position of president of the United States of American ought to go hand-in-hand.

dont worry. Your idealism will turn to realism someday. I was once like you. Untrustworthy selfish people far outnumber trustworthy selfless ones. They're even easy to spot on here. They are ruled by emotion and sensationalism.

Well... if the National Enquirer says it's true......

View attachment 146528
Fascinating information is going viral about Hillary and Bill Clinton, which exposes just how truly ruthless they are. In many ways they are worse than Obama. One major reason I say this is because the Clintons have a long history of people in their inner-circle dying under mysterious circumstances.





In fact, 46 people who were close to the Clintons have died during their 3 decades of political power. That number should give us all pause. If Hillary Clinton was a Republican, that number would be the question asked by reporters every day.

John 18:38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.

Yeah and I think Sanders is the fall guy with the democratic party. He is a joke isnt he?
I think the establishment was unprepared for the monster of an electorate they created with their social engineering.

Integrity takes a hit with people who like to sling mud and whom are not forgiving. I think he has changed. I think he is changing as we speak. I see it in him throughput his campaign.

I believe that the biggest instrument of change in Trumps life are his kids and grandkids. I believe that he wants to use his influence to protect their future as he sees the jeopardy that it is in.

I agree that as children of God we should not be hypocritical by not forgiving people of their transgressions when Christ has forgiven all of humanity (if they accept Him as their Saviour).

However, a repented child molester who served his time in prison can be forgiven but not allowed to babysit children. This doesn't mean society is "unforgiving" of the person. It just means we have to be prudent by not putting someone who can't be trusted in such a position he could relapse and stumble/cause harm to children.

I'm not comparing Trump's braggadocious infidelity to child molesting, but rather I'm comparing that society can forgive both types of sinners but exercise caution especially when considering the most powerful position in the world, the president of the United States. As I said before, if a candidate can't be trusted to be faithful to his/her own spouse, how could we objectively trust them to be faithful to the American people?
