How far back is the media allowed to go in order to find some dirt on me? Junior high? Elementary school? |

| I don't know how far is too far, but you should consider anything you say when you're 60 to be fair game. |

When did Romney graduate?
1965? Were his high school antics really worthy of being on the front page of the Post in 2012 nearly 50 years later? |

Sure if it gave you some insight into his personality. |

| If you run for President? Yes. Every single skeleton or piece of dirt you have will be pulled out and laid bare for all to see. Every juvenile prank, every late bill, every person you ever made mad, every bad decision. Why do you think so few people ever choose to run for President? |

| If we can televise and tweet the hell out of every stupid teen move by athletes and actresses, presidential candidates should be fair game. In a perfect world, everyone could just accept teenagers do and say stupid shit and stop with all of the online outrage. |

Is this a time machine? Why are we talking about Mitt Romney?
But yes, his antics revealed a lot about his character. He forcibly attacked a gay kid and cut his hair. Not a prank, not cool, and yes, by high school a person should know better. "A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the school’s collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber’s hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors." |

| Yes, everything is fair game, but what Trump said on the bus 11 years ago, he said as a 60 year old grown and mature man. No excuses. |

Trumps logic is that if he knew he was running for president, he would not have said these things on mic. He would have picked a more private locker room. |

Only if you are Republican.
If you are a Democrat, much would be ignored or covered up. Like indoctrination in a church for 20 years where Reverend Wright repeatedly says hateful things about the US. Or, lying to parents of 4 fallen Americans. |

Those things were not covered up. They were discussed quite a bit in the media. |
