She's in her own personal Supermax, of her own making.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

So, no. Women should never be blamed for the indiscretions of their husbands, or for forgiving them.

If staying with a man who engages in bad behavior is a horrible thing, staying with a woman who does such a horrible thing is a horrible thing, isn't it?

I don't believe in attacking spouses or blood relatives for a nominee's disgusting behavior.

That said, I do hold a nominee's family members responsible for their own behavior, but it would take a lot for anyone in the extended Trump family to behave as badly as D.T. The speech today alone should go down in history as one of the most appallingly paranoid, manipulative, rage-filled, and anti-democratic in the modern era. May we never have another major party candidate like this, and may history treat this one precisely as he deserves.

Another that may have cheated on him, and now the third. I think the lesson is we can't judge how someone will react to being cheated on, and it's never their fault or our business.
