Quote:

Donald Trump declared his sexist views on women would disqualify him from political office in an interview in New Zealand 23 years ago.

Mr Trump said "it’s fortunate I don’t have to run for political office" after being asked about his image as a womanising tycoon during an interview with TV3 in 1993.

"I think women are beautiful – I think certain women are more beautiful than others, to be perfectly honest - and it is fortunate that I don’t have to run for political office."

What a vague comment. It's like he's admitting to pedophilia or something. Unless he just means "I like to date much younger women." But his marriage to Melania doesn't seem to have hurt his numbers much if at all. Which makes me think he's admitting to something without actually admitting to it.

I understand him as saying that his history with women contains incidents which if known would disqualify and so preclude him from political candidature or election.

So what kind of things would disqualify a candidate in the USA, according to custom and law?

This is the only list I could find for tests of good character requirements in USA law:

Immigrants are tested on it. There seems no reason why political candidates should not be required to adhere to similar standards. Looked at from that perspective, it makes interesting reading.

What Donald Trump really said about Bill Clinton's accusers in Bill's defence may surprise Trump's supporters:

That's an astonishing find, isn't it. (B19 the finder of facts!) (That last bit was levity).

Trump accused of walking into women's changing rooms to "inspect" their naked bodies without advance warning:

If this is true, the man is a pervert.

No wonder there was immediate laughter when Trump claimed "I'm a gentleman" the other night.

"girls as young as 15" cited in that link

The local Trump defenders seem to be avoiding this thread. I wonder why...

To be fair, I ignore theirs too now, because they endlessly repeat the same old by-now completely predictable stuff, typically in some tu quoque variant of "Yes,Trump is no angel, but Clinton is Satan, so he is the only safe candidate".

According to Alex Jones' sources, she and Obama reek of sulfur. It's Swift-Boating on PCP.

Alex Jones is either a stark raving nutbar, or does a great job imitating one.

Slate blogger Torie Bosch has compiled a list of the allegations. Soon, Trump's only supporter will be Bill Cosby.

Currently at 8
