As for the DUI, etc., did he deny it? Say it never happened?
Did he (try to) pay-off the victim(s) to keep them quiet?
Have there been repeated incidents?

Is there a history of this sort of behavior?

Interesting that you choose to tar someone with ONE incident while excusing so many from someone else.

Or are you saying that if Trump had had a similar incident in his background, you wouldn't have voted for him?

I'm not going to defend trump's immorality. Never have. He is an immoral guy, dislikeable, sexist, and likely most of the other adjectives many have called him. I don't like his morals, but I voted for him because the alternative was a person whose platform went against everything I want for america. Trump has done a pretty good job IMO. He has governed pretty conservatively.

You complain often on this forum about trump's immorality then condone or at least excuse beto's immorality. You are a hypocrite. Admit it. Morals aren't important to you, either. Issues are important to you and you prefer Beto's views to Trump's views.

Wow it took minimal Google research to understand the depth of your disingenuousness in objecting that Beto is a "criminal." He had one DWI charge in college, and the "burglary" arrest was when he and his college buddies were messing around and snuck under the fence at the physical plant on the UTEP campus, thereby setting off an alarm. The university decided not to press charges. They didn't even steal anything. Further, Beto has also consistently owned up to both arrests.


As a voter, this would not dissuade me from voting for him.

I have Beto's criminal record beat.

I once got a DWI in college riding a bicycle.

I once snuck over the fence while in college and was busted swimming in a motel pool for guests only.

And I once did a weekend in jail for failing to get my license plates changed after I moved to another state. To go to college.

My college years gave me my entire lifetime rap sheet.

Beto could easily win the Rust Belt and might have a chance at purple states Obama won like Florida and North Carolina. Texas might actually be competitive as well. So what if the state still goes to Trump, if the GOP has to spend money there to defend it, that already isn't good.
Nope. Immigration and the 2nd Amendment will mean he doesn't win the Rust Belt. Dems need to figure those two issues out. Just like the Hispanic friends I have who are incensed by illegals jumping the line, there are plenty of Democrat gun owners who will balk at Beto due to his support for an"assault" weapon ban and 10 round magazine law.

You DISGUSTING criminal. I'm appalled I tell you! I appalled! Now, on the other hand if you started a sham university and scammed ordinary Americans out of hundreds of thousands of dollars that would've been perfectly fine.


Actually, just be mean to the people I don't like and everything else you do is A-Okay.

Why?

What office did Trump hold before being elected?

Trump was/is so inherently unqualified for the position he holds you could make a case for the viable candidacy of a trained seal with a horn.
