TRUMP: Past is best predictor

I heard (on TV) a religious leader say, “That was before he got elected,” referencing Donald Trump’s sordid (some say immoral) past. My question is, “What else would you use when evaluating a candidate for president?”

Trump has been married three times, and cheated on all three wives, including the current first lady, when he reportedly had an affair with a porn queen while his wife was pregnant with his son.

He has bragged, openly, about grabbing women by their private parts and said, “That was just locker room talk.” Would he get a job as a teacher at Lake City High by saying, “That was just locker room talk!”

Imagine your daughter asking you, a 10 Commandment Christian, “Daddy, do you think I should marry this guy?” Would you say “YES” because “All that immoral behavior was before he met you … honey.”

Some say, “He was better than Hillary.” That is a false choice that the Republican Party gave you. They could have nominated John Kasich (former Ohio governor) or any number of qualified, moral Pro Life candidates, but instead they knew you would vote for any crap they offered. How sad!
