14. This is not appropriate or germaine to the campaign.
Are we now to hold candidates responsible for the activities of those around them when the candidate was apparently not even involved?

I hope not. Now this was a Dem candidate, but I would take the same stand if he were a Repub.

This is not news. This is scandal mongering.
