Infidelity in office
Today I went to lunch with two friends of mine. We were at a restaurant and there were tvs with the news on. One was talking about a Hillary Clinton rally where a woman asked her about Monica Lewinsky. Clinton refused to answer the question. I wouldn't have answered it either. My friend said that she thinks it's an important aspect when thinking about voting for someone. I disagree. She argued that someone who stays with their husband after knowing they had an affair is weak and shouldn't be considered President. I'm not particularly a Hillary supporter or anything but I disagree. I think it took a lot of courage for her to stay with her husband when the whole country knew he had an affair. I also don't think you can judge someone else's personal life. Did she only stay with her husband for political reasons? Possibly. But everyone isn't the same. Some people think there is absolutely no reason to stay with someone if they've cheated on you. I'm not an advocate for affairs, but I think sometimes the answer isn't always to break up or get a divorce. Most likely, she stayed with Clinton because of his political position. It would have hurt his position is she had left him. While many women wouldn't care (most would find pleasure in screwing them over as revenge), she stayed with him. Think about how hard that must have been for her. I'm not saying she was right or wrong, I'm just saying no one else should say if she was right or wrong. It was a personal matter that I'm sure was very hard for her to deal with. She tried to do it gracefully and without falling apart. I don't think it's anyone else's business but theirs.

i agree with you. no matter if she is in the right or wrong it isn't our position to judge her on it. and even if it was wrong for her to stay with her husband it did take a lot of strength on her part and shows how strong she is.
