[quote=Dukehorn] . . . (a) I can’t support a woman who sticks in a marriage with a serial philanderer, but I can support a serial philanderer on this 3rd marriage. Nice, victim-blaming there…..[/quote]
I want to address this statement separately. For the record, Bill Clinton had over a dozen affairs (just the ones which became public) PRIOR to being sworn in as POTUS. He could have had as many as two dozen affairs but the other parties never spoke about them. One of Bill’s affairs lasted longer than the Donald’s second marriage.
Donald Trump’s first marriage broke up because his spouse voted with her feet after learning of his ongoing affair. They divorced and his first wife got a huge settlement because she worked her a$$ off over the years making the Trump organization what it was at the time of their split. Donald married his affair partner and it only lasted just over 4 years. The reason Maples left him was because he was a consummate workaholic, NOT a “philanderer.” Donald didn’t meet his 3rd spouse until at least seven years after he and Maples split up.
One can’t be a serial philanderer unless they are actually married at the time of “philandering.” I don’t care if one’s “spouse” lives 3000 miles away or in a different country! (And this doesn’t apply to anyone we’re discussing here, but “living together” doesn’t count. “Living together” and “marriage” are two completely different animals. In my mind, “living together” doesn’t mean anything.)
Bill Clinton was/is a classic “serial philanderer” and those types never change. If Hill gets in the White House, I predict he’ll be back to his creepy ways with the female millennial intern set in no time … alas, even in his old age!
