Thanks for your comment Marlene.

You’re right, Mr. Trump has done and said outrageous and indefensible things, for a good portion of his life. I don’t condone his behavior, his actions and most of the time his choice of words. I’m sure you don’t condone a person covering up for or turning a blind eye to their spouse’s lascivious behavior, either. But I wouldn’t necessarily fault you or associate those actions with you, just for supporting a candidate who may have done those things.

Not every President or candidate is a direct reflection of the values held by his or her voters, isn’t that true?
