I think Cunningham’s October surprise is fatal.

This is an important update for all men, but especially powerful men: YOU ARE NOT COOL, YOU ARE NOT HOT, SHE WORKS FOR YOU, KEEP IT IN YOUR GODDAMN SHORTS

Yes, you in back with the raised hand, even you. Especially you.

Let me know if you need further clarification. We can practice dick-in-door-slamming for extra credit.

They’re both adults, she knew what she was doing and that he was married. I blame both parties equally in getting into trouble here.

Just couldn’t refrain for a month, could they? Nah, makes too much sense.

> “Get away for a night soon,” Todd requests in one exchange, adding: “I have flexibility this month — done with school, training, big RFPs, etc. So the only thing I want on my to do list is you.”

Good grief…

If a politician has not learned anything from Anthony Weiner then they probably are not fit to serve.

Or should we assume that most of the men in congress are doing someone not their wife.

What is it with Democratic senators from North Carolina and extramarital affairs?

Anyway, I’m not convinced this is fatal just because I’m not sure anyone has the bandwidth left to process it. We’ll have to watch the polls over the next week or two to see if it registers with voters.

I doubt anyone here disagrees with you about that – I don’t – but the price to be paid by the Democrat’s campaign is what’s at issue.

I think he can survive it, given all the other noise last week. But it has to be a one-hit scandal. If this turns into drip…drip…drip, then it’s a lot harder. He has to stay in the race.

To date, 22 women have publicly accused Trump of rape, sexual assault, or harassment.

Several have testified to his attacks under oath, or in sworn depositions.

And that doesn’t even include the porn stars to whom he paid (illegal) hush money.

Wake me up when there’s an actual reason to vote against a Cunningham check on Trump.

And, she works for his campaign. So double pox on both of them.

At least Cunningham didn’t go into the deeply unfelt pious statements of turning to his god for guidance. But if he thinks screenshots are not accessible by anyone with a keypad it’s reason enough to not elect him to office.

Which should be dug into. Who leaked it, and why?

Perhaps we should all become Europeans from now until election day. They see this behavior as normal and their tabloids just laugh it off.

He just has to say sorry and ask Jesus to forgive him, that works for the Republicans who do this.

We’d be better off doing that for the long haul. What consenting adults do with other consenting adults is between them and whatever partners they have.
