Turn that around the other way and ask this. Why would you think that they wouldn't pass a law they promised or appoint a judge they said they would. The fact that they had an affair is beside the point because that affair, really, has no effect on you whatsoever. Unless of course, it's your spouse that had the affair, otherwise, I still don't see it.
I personally know a lot of very public lawyers and businesspeople that I've done business with over the years and I'd have to say that around 75% have had affairs while their spouses knew about it. Did it make them less in their line of business? Not that I can tell as their volume of business always went up regardless of the circumstances.
What you're saying is that because
you don't believe that a person should have an affair then a presidential candidate should never either. Because of
your beliefs. That's the bottom line and dancing around the issue of future truthfulness is ridiculous.
