    I don't think anyone expected Trump to be a choir boy in the past. His marital infidelities are well documented. And if he turned his life around, acknowledged past indiscretions and moved on, nobody would bat an eye.

    But it is his attempts to deny and cover up the situation, making easily falsified accusations against Daniels, illegal activities of his proxy Cohen and ongoing ethically questionable behaviour of his team that are problematic and will likely get Trump in trouble.

    Maybe you should simply give up debating. You probably don't even realize you just changed your argument. First you said people would use the Stormy Daniels affair as a reason to not support Trump's policies. Now you are saying people would use the Stormy Daniels affair as a reason to put down Donald Trump.

    So what is it--put down the policies or put down the man?

    Again, no one on BB is using this incident as a reason to put down the policies. That is the straw man you employed earlier that I had pointed out.

    Other people that didn't have an (alleged) affair with Trump can carry forth the same policies. They can't be criticized for having an affair.

    You're funny! I said earlier it is a waste of time to explain and I should know better than to even start, but, - - - if you were to go back to my post you'd see the "opposition" in my argument, which you attempt to claim I misrepresented their position in order to attack that position (which would make a "strawman" if the existence of that opposition were not true, but sorry it is true) doesn't even mention BB members (your strawman ;) - and attempt to cloud the issue by starting on personal attacks) but pay attention here: I called out the opposition AS THOSE who would partake in such ignorant and fallacious arguments. LOL- to which "you" , for some odd reason, LOL, quickly took offense to my argument and tried to defended with your poor understanding of the term "strawman" and worse yet, total neglect of the purpose for calling out fallacies - (another subject, but this purpose is waaaay too deep to try to explain to you since I'm quite sure we won't get past the first step here on the meaning, purpose and proper usage of philosophical terms. LOL).

    Yeah, yeah, I know, "you don't understand a word I said and neither does anyone else", - even if others come on and tell you they did understand it - LOL.

    The truth is you continually abuse these philosophical terms here and absolutely use them for the wrong purpose, but I don't expect to get anywhere with you in this kind of format.

    But hey, I just want you to know you're alright ITL, look at the bright side, if I didn't like you I wouldn't be coming into your domain occasionally and bother giving you you a hard time. :)

    True
    But, as predicted the fallacious moral superiority argument begins...

    Sounds like the making of another witch hunt based on if Trump dare to defend himself (starts to mysteriously become a "cover up") against these forementioned moral superiority arguments designed to to turn others away from the man making policies. Like I said, all they got to fight with - but common sense should prevail that the policies are what should be the important issues (what the man is doing now regarding the job he was elected for and the policies).

    Such hypocrisy, while this whore is used as a pawn by the Democrats and Trump haters to develop accusations...

    An attempt to silence the vindictive gosip of attention grabbing money hungry whore pawns somehow becomes "ethically questionable behavior" concerning the Trump team seems to assume the development of such witch hunts is "ethical" on the other side? Interesting. Hmmm...

    Why yes, that is obviously the goal but I'd call it more of a happy wish that another one of these schemes might bear fruit. .

    Odd how you attempt to separate the two, the man, who you took a Never-Trump position against early on, who you attempted to shoot down basically every position and promise he made as a lie, who you said didn't have a chance to win the election, is the one making these policies. Now, you're in to TDS mode and take the side of those scheming to remove him and seem to deny what these policies are related to, the man making them. I see no truth in your reasoning to attempt separate these issues other than to use this as a excuse to continue on the path to fight against the very policies this man is now bringing into reality.

    There are sincere conservatives who oppose Trump, or once opposed Trump, but like the policies he's trying to put through. There are also phony conservatives who attempt to sway other conservatives away from Trump, in order to get Dems back in power.

    This is true, I'm sure they exist, but makes about as much sense as being opposed to fire but claiming to like their steak barbecued...

    I think there are some (I can think of one that posts here) that initially opposed him but now seem to love absolutely everything he does. They came to their senses and I respect that.

    I think there are others that are just leftists pretending to be conservatives. And I'm sure there those in between.

    A confidentity agreement was signed. The woman is a liar. She lied by violating the agreement. I discount everything she says. If true, I can't blame Trump for hooking up with fine women before he was saved.

    An agreement that Trump never signed.

    So married people can "hook up with fine women" so long as they are not saved.

    Yes, and when did Trump get saved?

    Are you actually comparing Trump to the Apostle Paul, King David and King Solomon? That's way, way out there.

    Why hasn't your party done that in the last 45 years? There has been a conservative court majority more than once during that period of time. The truth is the GOP doesn't want to stop abortion. It's a great political ploy to keep you fools voting from them.
