Will the 2016 election "define deviancy down"? (ethical, drug, healthcare)

Regards of who wins or loses, will the 2016 election mean no future presidential candidate will have to worry about hiding any unethical behavior in their past?

No, it will mean that every Republican will be crucified for any parking ticket and every Democrat will be given a pass for ax murder.

Well, what's unethical anymore? You could marry your neighbor's dog and liberals will come out of the woodwork to tell you that's a personal issue and mind your own business. We have pictures of Obama smoking pot and nobody cares. Bill and Hillary built the Clinton Library into a billion dollar influence peddling machine to take advantage of Hillary's time as Secretary of State and Democrats don't blink an eye. Planned Parenthood slaughters fetuses by the thousands and sells their body parts to Stem Express (here, you can even check out their product sheets StemExpress Home). BLM can call for dead cops and no one is held accountable.

The only thing people seem to care about anymore is their pocketbook. Obama lied about healthcare and the middle class got screwed so in 2010 and 2012 they turned the House and the Senate over to the GOP.

We didn't get much hope but we sure got change.

I kind of wish they wouldn't hide it. I'm not saying we should condone unethical behavior. Not by any means. But the cover up is almost always worse than the original screw up. One of the reasons that Obama's drug use as a young kid has never been a big deal, has been that he never tried to cover it up. Kind of the same thing with young GWB and his drinking problem before he took office.

If Bill Clinton had just said " Yeah. I got a blow job. Sorry. Can we talk about Bin Ladin now? "
