Old_Geezer - //...because the only issues that should be important is how good a president each of the candidates would make, not whether folk approve of their attitudes to sexual matters,//
I don't think you can separate the two OG.
If a person is going to be President, then their whole life attitude is important, and should be assessed and addressed.
If I was voting, I would tend to steer clear of a man who out of his own mouth has shown himself to be a racist, a misogynist, a bully, and a man who clearly has next to no grasp of the fundamental prerequisites to hold the office for which he is pitching.
Specifically - Trump's grasp of foreign and domestic policy is weak at best, absent at worst.
He shows his immaturity by suggesting hopelessly unworkable - but seriously appealing to people who similarly don't look at reality - solutions to social problems such as building walls on national borders.
But for me, the most worrying aspect about Trump is that the office of President requires co-operation, the ability to listen to and assess advice, make decisions that will impact on the lives of millions of people, and above all, to have a sense of vision beyond simply election grandstanding.
Trump is a man who listens to no-one because he answers to no-one.
He sees being comprehensively abandoned by his party as having his 'shackles' released. he runs his business empire from the top and is clearly someone not used to ever having his views and decisions questioned or, heaven forbid, overturned.
Trump is a disaster as a candidate, and fortunately Nate Silver reminds us that the American people have never elected a President who does not have either military or political experience, or both.
Trump of course, has neither.
