A celebrity dating backstory would add an additional layer of interest and make up for the lack of family photo ops.

If true, good for them.

Like other supercouples Bennifer and Brangelina.

and surprised to see DU'ers regurgitate that garbage here..

I don't think he's gay and I don't think anyone on DU would care if he were. But it's something he might be worried about for political reasons.

for themselves, without unfounded rumors and gossip needing to be spread here on DU

You could have googled your question too, but you didn't. You asked it here.

We post right wing rumors and gossip all the time on DU. Some people go over to Free Republic just to gather fresh quotes from them, even though 100% of DUers can do that for themselves.

When I already know the truth?

The rumor is out there. It exists. If his candidacy gains traction, do you really think you won't be hearing more about it? You surely will. But not from me because I actually don't give a crap either way.

I was just answering your question. If you don't like the answer, ignore it.

Don't make false accusations. I had no intent whatsoever other than providing information. It didn't even occur to me that someone on DU would have a problem with this. If you think it's a "smear," that's on you. Because I don't think that way. But I know a lot of people who do, and that's just sad.

Just so I know, are there any other false rumors about prominent Democrats I am not allowed to mention? Did you know that some people say Hillary Clinton did something illegal once? Am I allowed to say that?

You are trying to smear a black Democratic candidate, that's your sole objective, and by continuing your ludicrous claim, trying to blame someone else other than taking responsibility. Sounds like you are taking lessons from your idol, Trump...

You are making false accusations against me. For no reason. You don't know anything about me.

Take your own responsibility. You don't like this subject, stop talking about it.

Or go search my posts. Maybe you'll find the positive things I said about him. I think he's a good candidate. But more likely you'll ignore that and just traffic in your form of hate.

.... that you did not smear Cory Booker with false accusations. It sounds more like someone is using trumpian tactics on you. The only false accusations that are being throwing around are the ones aimed at you.

I couldn't give a rat's ass if he is or isn't but I suspect he isn't. I like the way Richard Gere handles the rumors. He doesn't confirm or deny them because if he denies them it suggests there is something inherently wrong with being gay.

Namely the gossipy person continue to push them here and argue on insane gossip

I didn't even think anyone here would care if it were true. Why do you?

Why?

on display here...

but you know what they say...how some people fast, and never mind them business...

I didn't think this could be construed as a smear. And i still don't get why a progressive would think it is.

.... will go to great length, even if it means twisting someone's words around in order to gain kudos from easily susceptible like-minded people whose only regret is that they didn't think of it first. Ignore them, and to your earlier reply, you're welcome.

in this country. Usually candidates, especially young ones, like to flaunt their families in photo ops, etc. Candidate Obama had an amazing wife and daughters which added to his appeal.

For some reason, we're uncomfortable with single men or women having power.

It would be interesting to see the primary warriors react to such a match. Lol!

When you read stuff like this and say "who?".

Google is so easy. So is Wikipedia.

at some rallies in 2016, but I didn't know that she voted Stein. Hopefully she's changed since then.

than Trump in 2016 and endorsed Jill Stein in the GE.
