Mannnnn, I swear people are going to realize one day that trying so hard to appear tolerant and non-judgmental that you ignore reality is a one way ticket to continued GOP domination.
No one is saying she's a terrible person or that she shouldn't be a senator. Obviously the people in California weren't concerned about her past. But you know and I know that the narrative, which will be all but IMPOSSIBLE to escape, will be of someone who basically slept her way into power. And it's one thing if that was a relationship that turned into a marriage and they were still together etc.
But the man was literally twice her age - 29 and 60. And he was married at the time. And she was public about it. Let's be real people.
Donald trump had a very open divorce with his younger wife that was due to having an affair with Marla mables and played out all the dirty details in public through tabloids.
Also he said he wanted to fukk his daughter.
Here is what democrats should do. Own the shyt. The reality is that people have issues in their marriage and no one is perfect. The reason it's even an issue in politics is because politicians work in paradigms where their every move is carefully constructed by focus groups and D.C. Consultants. If you fart in this environment, you have to have a conference call on how to spin it correctly.
The success of Donald trump is due to his simply not giving a fukk. This is why not only did he win the election despite his many faults, all his GOP primary challengers were perplexed how this Dude is whipping their ass after he breaks every rule in the milquetoast constructed in a Petri dish politician rule book.
Stop giving a fukk and be honest.
