Nope, I don't care one iota about his past. A person with an unsavory personal past can still be a good leader and do the right things for the people. And a person who is pristine, perfect and with a monk-like past can be a horrendous, ineffective leader. Neither Jesus nor Mother Teresa is running for President. Nothing I've read in the Bible says that God chose only perfect, flawless, sinless people to do important things.
Maybe if his wife hadn't committed suicide after being married to the bastard. I've stood within 3 feet of him back when he was probably writing this diary. He is lecherous and arrogant, like the rest of his family.
If he can’t control his *sexual* appetites, obviously he can’t control any of them. Except he can and he does, as evidenced by his billion dollar empire. You don’t get to where he is by being undisciplined. You could say he was undisciplined about a character matter, and you would have a valid point. But he is generous - with his time, his money, his resources. He sees individual people and he cares about their plight. In a world where our “leaders” don’t care about us at all anymore, it’s a breath of fresh air to have someone care so loudly, so in-your-face to the opposition that wants to destroy us.
Everyone has their flaw(s) (some of us have more than one and some of those are pretty egregious) but if you look at the overall picture of a person’s life, rather than focusing on only specific areas, it gives you a better idea of the total picture of the person. When I (and many others) look at Trump, we can see the ugliness in certain aspects of the painting of his life. But if we stand back and take in the whole picture, we can see a masterpiece.
Have to add this (since I can’t edit in the app on my phone) that I too thought this was a trash Trump thread. I read the beginning several times before I made my comment and then finished the remainder of the thread only to discover I wasn’t the only one confused! Regardless, whether we’re discussing Trump, or Brand, or RFK, Jr., the entire picture gives a better sense of the measure of the person.
Lots of people do that - men and women. Particularly Boomers - you know it was all sex, drugs and rock and roll for our generation. I suspect almost all of the people who might care about this wouldn't be voting for him anyway.
My question in return would be, "is he still doing it?" (As far as I know, the answer is "no" - from what I've seen of Melania, he probably doesn't dare...!)
I can certainly forgive people for their past if they've changed. It's more difficult to overlook ongoing flaws, though.
Melania? That's Trump's wife. RFK Jr's wife is Cheryl. I have no idea if he is being true to her but I hope he is. I suspect if he weren't we'd know it by now. Hence the reason why the Biden crew had to dredge up some shade from 25 years ago.
Wait, this is the "bash RFK" thread rather than the "bash Trump" thread? I'm so used to the "he slept with tons of women" thing being pointed at Trump... but I'd hold the same position regarding either man.
Does anybody really care how many women he had sex with a quarter of a century ago?

Very true and actually many bad awful Kings as well.
Exactly. Well said

She was mentally ill, according to reports I have read.
I care. Especially while he was married. If his wife can’t trust him, who can?
People change. I believe in redemption and forgiveness.

It was RFK JR who had many, many , many, many affairs.

The media does - He kept a diary rating the women or what he did with them and the wife found it..........

Are you talking about all the affairs RFK JR had ?

Well, they both did. They were both fabulously wealthy and good looking.
Yes. Integrity matters. If he's repented, that's different. But I see no integrity here.
NO. NOT. AT. ALL
