(1,150 posts)I care about this purely as a question of the ethics/morals, or lack of the same, of a candidate for the office of the Presidency.
Absolutely and only.
But it, and a wide range of other substantive matters raising similar questions, certainly did play a role, in my case, in my desire to see a different person become the Democratic nominee for the Presidency. Not the other way around.
The fact that I'm far from the only Democrat with such concerns worries me. A lot. If a long-term politician who's had almost 70 years for her values and ethics to develop as fully as they are likely to in one person's lifetime can't just own up to a problem like this, and instead uses dismissive language to make it seem like so much nothing, well... It's not something that goes unnoticed by everyone. Especially the campaign of someone like Donald Trump, who doesn't even pretend he's ethical or decent.
