But when you are 60 and you still behave like you were in the 20s that is a whole different ball game. And thankfully, most Americans think the same way.

Same with Trump. No doubt he was probably looking up girls' skirts on the playground.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Oh please! Do you have any idea how many people DID inhale in college and liked it? Probably your parents.Anonymous wrote:I remember hearing about Obama's weed use ad nauseam
Where did Bill Clinton attend high school? I doubt his abuse of women suddenly surfaced after he married his boss. Or did it??

Were Romney's high school antics from 50 years ago worthy of being on the front page of the Post?

Here we go again. Did you actually listen to the sermon, of course not. STFU. You are talking out of your ass. Those were great sermons. I actually took the time to listen to them in their entirety. He goes through slavery, reconstruction, jim crow and redlining. Yes, indeed. God bless american? God damn america.

If you can convincingly apologize, it can be accepted. People do change. The problem is most politicians can't bring themselves to apologize or at least not convincingly. Trump didn't apologize last night for his remarks. Hillary sort of apologized for her email crap but it didn't sound very sincere. Did Romney apologize for the stupid shit he did in high school? (I don't recall.)

If you sexually assaulted someone, then probably, yes, it will be fair game.

Precisely.
You guys really have selective memories. I recall hearing about this in the news a lot.
Like what?
Like how they talked about Reverand Wright and Obama a lot. As for lying to a parent, well, that's a she said/she said sort of thing, but yes, I do recall them discussing it.
You don't seem to understand that Trump saying those things (suggesting he sexually assaults women) with his own mouth is much more of a big deal then listening to some church leader's rhetoric or the possibility that a politician lied to a citizen (though, this hasn't been really proven without a doubt). If you get into an argument, and you say "you said this", and the other person says, "no, i didn't". That doesn't make either of you a liar since it's hard to prove without a recording.

Of course it's fair game to have any indiscretions aired, and it's up to voters to determine if it affects their opinion of you or not. But at some point you have to just stop beating a dead horse. I'm tired of hearing about Trump's tape already.
Of course if there were new revelations, I'd definitely want to hear about them, have the opportunity to evaluate their significance, and then move on. Until the next one.
