The secret of politicking these last 16 years has been to salt the feed and convince some social conservatives to stay home.
2000, election eve report of Bush’s DWI arrest cost him measurable votes and gave Al Gore a 0.51% popular vote margin of victory.
News of Bush allegedly doing cocaine was big. Roger Clinton’s tale of brother Bill was not newsworthy. Obama’s own admission of being cokie was not big. Rumors are now surfacing that JEB! did cocaine.
A lame duck partisan witchhunt on Tom DeLay and others in Texas was “evidence of a culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks of the party”. Hillary’s legal woes are “phony scandals” and even Bernie Sanders said in a debate that he doesn’t give a damn about it.
Toe tappers and sexters are a big deal only when it happens in one party.
Now we face a scenario where one candidate has a softcore model for a wife and another has a former softcore actress in an ad and the one in the ad is more scandalous.
Lindsay said she is a Christian conservative who is deciding between Cruz and Donald Trump for president.
So will it matter who this person endorses?
“Now we face a scenario where one candidate has a softcore model for a wife and another has a former softcore actress in an ad and the one in the ad is more scandalous.”
The only scandal is the candidate with the actress in the ad is the same candidate thumping his Bible when it’s convenient, invoking the ‘Body of Christ’ for show and whose followers lecture everyone else on how they are not Christian enough and how HE is such a Godly man.
And it’s not much of a scandal really. we’re all sinners.
“Now we face a scenario where one candidate has a softcore model for a wife and another has a former softcore actress in an ad and the one in the ad is more scandalous.”
Because Trump doesn’t pretend to have been perfect HIS WHOLE LIFE and isn’t banking on winning the election on evangelicals alone.
He also doesn’t have a parent claiming that God is literally backing him.
You know, I can’t figure that one out myself.
