[quote=Anonymous]It used to be common in both parties for the people (and their families) who ascended to the top of the party had to be upstanding people. I didn't think W was a good president at all, but I think he was probably a good dad, and that he chose a thoughtful and nurturing mother for his kids in Laura, and their family does a good job of nurturing kids to reach their potential.

Again, this used to be common on both sides of the aisle. I have never voted for a Republican for president but I think Mitt Romney, John McCain, George W. Bush, Bob Dole and George HW Bush are all decent human beings. Bad politics, good people. It happens. And then I also believe Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton are also all good people.

Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan were not particularly moral people but they at least felt compelled to try and convince people they were, which likely led them to behave more ethically overall than they would have without that constraint.

Donald Trump is an openly bad person who is proud of his lack of ethics and morality. He gets excited when he does something clearly immoral and people fall all over themselves trying to justify it or explain it -- it's evidence of his power that he can twist people into these knots. And once he opened that door, it's hard to shut. Biden was once a pretty upstanding person -- flawed but basically a decent person. But he did some deeply unethical things during his presidency, and justified them because of Trump. Now I look at the Maine Senate race and find myself hoping a dirtbag with a Nazi tattoo successfully gets a Senate seat, because he's running against an otherwise nice lady who simply can't stand up to Trump.

Everything is broken. I don't know how we find our way back from this wilderness.[/quote]
