Ted Cruz affair scandal legit?

There will always be women who are willing to sleep with a man they perceive as wealthy or powerful. I am no Ted Cruz fan and I find him a little creepy, but he has a pretty and intelligent wife. Clearly, she found him attractive. I was a big fan of President Clinton as president, but I never understood why women found him so attractive. However, my SIL, who really disliked him, met him in person and said he was the most charismatic person she ever met and she finally got the attraction thing with him.

I don't care who a politician sleeps with. I might think they are a pig in their personal life but it doesn't always effect my voting. An exception was John Edwards because his wife was dying of cancer. I wouldn't be voting for Cruz, but if I was, this might make me think he is a hypocrite, but it wouldn't be a deciding factor for me.

It's really sad, this what we have to choose from. Well he cheated but at least his wife doesn't have cancer! I also can't give Cruz a pass when in every speech and ad, there is always a mention of God. He is a giant hypocrite. I don't think *any* Republican will win this election. I have no doubts this will not detract the Trump and Cruz fans either. Hillary has a lot more going for her than those two.

The thing is, looking back at history, a lot of our best presidents had affairs.  In our lifetimes, one of the only ones not known to have affairs was Jimmy Carter and he was a terrible president.  If Ted Cruz had affairs and his wife is willing to overlook it, then that is on them.  Again, I wouldn't vote for him in any case, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker if I were a supporter.  In this election, no one is going to be able to throw around affair allegations so it is useless info.  If evangelicals have a problem with it, their next choice is Trump who certainly is no better.  

This story made me think of Ted Cruz nude and I threw up in my mouth a little.

Oh, I know it's been going on forever! I still can't help but wonder about their ethics when it's made public they have had affairs.

I agree. If you're going to campaign on the high ground, you'd better live there. 

Hillary proclaims that sexual assault victims deserved to be believed and yet she's participated in discrediting and trashing the ones victimized by her husband. She's laughed and bragged about getting around the system to excuse the guy who raped and brutalized a 12 year old. That one goes beyond hypocrisy though and moves on into evil, in my opinion. 

Clinton wasn't impeached for cheating on his wife. He was impeached on the charge of perjury and the charge of obstruction of justice. Two things that Newt Gingrich was not guilty of.

Seriously? Show me evidence that Gerald Ford, G H W Bush and George Bush had affairs.

In my lifetime....what about Nixon? Did Reagan cheat on Nancy? And, of course, there's Obama. That makes more of the presidents in my lifetime who have not cheated.

The more I watch about this on cable news, the more I'm convinced that Donald Trump had something to do with the story and that there is absolutely no truth to it.

His spokesperson is supposedly involved, so that does make me wonder. Or is this woman willing to do anything for Trump? Hmm.

Many years ago, I read an article that quoted several professionals in psychology, purporting that the same personality that is attracted to the power of the presidency is often - no, not always - the same personality that is attracted to sexual power, achieved through serial conquests. 

Makes sense. I find adultery icky, but not a deal breaker. But as others have written, it's galling when the candidate is simultaneously judging the sex/reproductive lives of the rest of us.

I meant Jane Wyman was married to someone else when Reagan and Wyman began their relationship.
