“The Trump-supporting, former Navy SEAL governor of Missouri having an affair isn’t the story here. He allegedly photographed his mistress naked to *blackmail* her. That ends his career. “

Nope, no it won’t. It will only endear him to those in Missouri who voted for him. We saw how “conservatives” rallied to Moore’s side in Alabama in spite of a series of women alleging that he is a pedophile. I saw a pic of him and his wife as he was responding to the allegations. She looked miserable standing beside him, but that didn’t keep her from claiming that they’re working on their marriage, and the incident is now a matter between them and God. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. This is his second marriage. His first wife divorced him in 2003. He married the current one in 2011 and has two kids. Since he had the affair in 2015, four years into their marriage, it appears to me that he didn’t take his vows seriously. It makes me wonder whether his inability to remain faithful was a factor in his first wife divorcing his behind. What pisses me off the most is how RW pols like him present themselves as ‘holier than thou” and proceed to stick their d*mn noses into everybody else’s bedrooms while they’re doing the same things, or worse things, than those they’re condemning others for. They need to sit their butts down somewhere, STFU, and get their own lives in order before they intervene in others’ personal lives.

The entire evangelical groove is “repentence leads to salvation”. They reach ecstasy whenever someone gives their “testimony” of how they “once were lost but now are found”. If you don’t have a dramatic “story” to tell about what a wretched sinner you were, you are of lesser value. This goes back to all the tent meetings and Billy Graham “crusades” where they called all the “sinners” to come and accept jeebus. For a good conman, they make perfect marks. They’ll love you while you screw them over and lie to them. Just have a good story to share.
