"It’s not so much the cheating that bothers me. It’s awful and disgusting, don’t get me wrong. But, ultimately, what makes me want to rip out his coif is the fact that he was willing to risk running for president, knowing that this scandal lurked in the background. Did he honestly think he’d be able to cover this shit up? If he did, I can only think what he HAS successfully covered up in the past. You don’t get this cocky (excuse the pun) without a few victories. And, I always got a little morally queasy whenever he’d keep trotting out those stories about the poors at the mill. The fact that he would do this, and risk another Republican regime, just shows me once and for all that he doesn’t care about black, white or any kind of people. But himself."
