Oh, I know, I lived it! But I’m Catholic enough that the infidelity was disqualifying for me even then. (Oddly, it’s the only part of Catholicism that ever stuck!) I felt like if he couldn’t keep a vow, why should we trust him to keep an oath of office?

Personal life stuff has become a lot more important in the last 20 years. I mean George Bush Junior had a blameless personal life, but he still was terrible. And God knows JFK would’ve never been elected.
That obsession about candidates' personal lives really has to go. Do you fuk goats? Hmm. But you support national health care? I'm voting for you. Meanwhile, be gentle with the goats.
Haha. Yeah, if it consensual between two adults I’m okay. There can be big power imbalances with politicians (and lots of other bigwigs) so on the whole I think it makes things less messy but again bush jr and Reagan were devoted husbands but put into place terrible policies that made life a lot worse for lots of people.
