    For once, you can't spell his nickname properly.

    As for the discussion, I don't understand what personal sexual inclinations have to do with performing one's duties as POTUS. Let him/her be a good president from 9 to 5, and do whatever pleases him/her (staying within the law) in his/her spare time.

    The head of state is the chief salesperson of the country. So being a letch in one's spare time does impact on the day job - like it or not, world leaders are humans and will respond to the person as well as the message.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    Given that they're most likely psychopaths of a similar kind, you could say that makes it a plus.

    Excuse my ignorance of politics, its rules and the game around it.
    But isn't there any openings that can be employed if the american people suddenly realized that they either have to vote for Hitler or Stalin? Can the republicans throw in a candidate at this point that the republican voters will flock en-mass to? Is there any rule-book that can be thrown into the ring at this point?

    So world leaders won't speak to a POTUS who is notorious for his heartbreaking skills?

    World leaders don't vote POTUS in. And here we have voters discussing whether it is appropriate for an official to be a lady's man in his spare time. Let him rule gloriously and indulge in whatever legal pastime he fancies.

    I agree with that but who am I. How it should be isn't always how things are.

    And here we have a foreigner telling voters how to choose their candidate?

    To paraphrase Churchill, he'd find good things to say about the Devil if in an alliance.

    I have no interest in him being a lady's man - it being when he boasts of being a letch and lies about it that it becomes an issue.

    World leaders didn't vote him in. But there's a good chance he'll have to deal with the world. If they all perceive him as lying scum that makes things harder for the USA.
