At what point should a sex scandal disqualify a politician from office? I'm just interested at what everybody's personal line is? If Trump really paid hookers to pee on him, does that disqualify him? What about Bill Clinton and Monica? What is your personal line for when sex scandals disqualifies someone?
For me it's whenever this puritanical country finds the candidate unfit. I don't really care about their sexual weirdities except so far as that shows their lack of commitment to doing what it takes to be elected. If they don't really want it I might prefer a different candidate.
Monika and Bill? Pfft. Whatever. That's for Bill and Hillary to decide - well - except insofar as Bill's taking advantage of a younger employee is icky. But Trump's "grab them by the pussy" -if you assume it was more than locker room talk- is outright predatory and much worse.
