That the same people who said that Bill Clinton lacked the moral character to be president, now so enthusiasticly embrace Donald Trump is something I don't think I'll ever get over. I grew up surrounded and nurtured by good, conservative Mormon folk who taught me the importance of character and the danger of associationing with those of low morals. It was made clear to me that 1990's Democrats had betrayed their own principles by embracing someone of William Jefferson Clinton's deep flaws. They had failed the test of their moral standards by embracing a liar and a womanizer, a fundamentaly dishonest man who dishonored his country and his own supposed faith. They had traded precious principles for the sake of a mess of postage made up of policy priorities and a good economy. I must learn the lession of this and take it to heart. I did. They did not.
I'm not upset that they aren't meeting my standards, I'm upset that they aren't meeting their own.
