Bill Clinton was a sex maniac, but that is mostly his wife's business.

JFK was a sex maniac but as far as I know no one complained.

There are plenty of fine examples of ex-presidents who weren't widely accused of infidelity. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George Bush, GWB and Obama all seemed loyal husbands to me, far as I remember. I don't remember anyone questioning GWB's fidelity.

Trump seems to be a serial sexual harasser. That's a legal issue.

It usually depends what the guy did whether the press pursues them or not.

That's hardly a history of Democratic bias. I think you are presenting the press history in a paranoid fashion. But then, that is what y'all are told to think every day and so you do.

Does that help?

Different standards are applied by the media depending on party affiliation.

Was Roy Moore guilty of the allegation against him? Was Bill Clinton? Did Obama have skeletons in his closet? There were stories about Eisenhower, Kennedy and Bush 41.

I don’t know what to believe about what goes on behind closed doors. I really don’t want to know, but the same standard ought to apply to everyone. Everyone should be afforded the presumption of innocence.

Roy Moore was subjected to strategic character assassination. Others are given a pass.
