I agree that having a serial cheater makes anyone look bad. But I tend to blame the husband, not the wife. Same for Trump. He IS a serial cheater.
Would you be arguing that there is a natural double standard for women? Cheating does not disqualify a man for the presidency, but it does a woman? How is a woman specifically built for this task? Just curious.
If a lot of people hold to such a double standard, it could explain why many chose an incompetent man over a competent woman as leader of the nation.
This has zero to do with her being a competent politician. It speaks to her character.
I never said trump was a great presidential candidate. But at least his wives left him when he stooged up his marriage. I am fine with defining Trump as you choose to define him when we discuss this topic. She lost to a TV game show host. She wasn't a strong candidate because people questioned her character.
You should blame the cheater. But the cheated needs to move on if they want to claim any sort of sense of leadership. No one respects a leader who just sits there and gets humiliated by the people closest to them.
