(13,467 posts)And normally would expect a woman to stay with her husband through marriage problems. But when it comes to getting THEIR way with the supreme court, they are willing to say the opposite. Their religious front is a scam, just like Trump.

(63,912 posts)He married every girl he fell in love with and hoped for the best. So I don't hold it against him. He is currently the happiest man on the planet with his beautiful third wife and mother of their darling son. He is also friends with his two former wives.
So not all men who get married several times are necessarily basically bad. He's a wonderful guy...

(2,120 posts).. what I do mind is Trump cheating on his current wives. I'm sure your son would never have done something so dishonest. It's just another of the endless series of character faults in Trump that his supporters continually and deliberately ignore.... or just don't care about!

(4,187 posts)How does one show "respect for her marriage"?
Let me guess: if one is a woman, one shows "respect for her marriage" by knowing her place, staying home, and baking cookies. For these people, the simple act of running for president, if one happens to be a woman, is disrespectful of her husband and her marriage.
Thanks, but no thanks. And I'm sure the majority of women would agree with me that we don't want to be held to such a double standard.

(2,120 posts)... she has "no respect" for her marriage since she was cheated on and stayed with Bill.
But Trump had so much respect for his marriages when he cheated on his wives (and with the wives of other men!)
Let's recap. She was cheated ON and she's worse than someone who cheated on OTHERS.
You can't reason with them.. it's just not possible. And if you try to show them facts or logic they just dig their heels in and become more shrill and upset. Trump is wonderful and brilliant and a true hero, no matter what, and Hillary is an evil horrible criminal who deserves prison time.
The guy I got that quote from about how she doesn't respect her marriage is a FB friend-of-a-friend. I guarantee you if I push him on it he'll end up resorting to screaming threats of physical violence. He clearly wants to just fold his arms and pout: "Well, I just don't LIKE her!" Older, fat white guy with a FB feed full of racist memes whining about welfare cheats... oh, I'm so surprised.
So be it. When she becomes the next President I'll try not to gloat.

(4,187 posts)And yet, people are blaming her for forgiving her husband, and getting couples therapy to make their marriage work?
These people are desperate to find something -- anything -- wrong with this amazing woman.
I agree that it's impossible to reason with such people. Also, it's a waste of time. They'll never change their opinion, so it's better to focus on the single mother who works three jobs and is thinking that she might skip the election because Hillary will probably win without her vote anyway. Let's GOTV!
