Ms. Gates has as her main value that all people are dignified and worthy of respect.

Sexual exploits aside, Trump certainly doesn't believe the poorest person in those "chithole countries" deserves the same respect as he does.

I assume this is what she is getting at - based on the value of her foundations and efforts...

"In 2002, Melinda and Bill Gates received the Award for Greatest Public Service Benefiting the Disadvantaged"

Read a bit about her values and then make an accurate determination. She seems to be a real Christian....

No, that is not what that says. It says you voted for him, in part, because he did lack lack morals and ethics. Trumpers do admit that in other threads when they say such things as, "I knew what he was like when I voted for him", etc.

No Trump voters have their morals and ethics, but don't kd yourself that you voted for Trump because he was some kind of moral or ethical titan.

Now you're a tRump cheerleader no matter how scuzzy he is.

Carry on.

I voted for Bill Clinton twice, despite knowing he had a twelve year affair with Gennifer Flowers. My aunt was ready to throw the election over that and I was like, why? This was just a few years after Gary Hart had to drop out of the primaries for having an affair. I didn’t care then, and I don’t care now. I never expected the president to be a saint. We elect people who can do a very tough job, not to be pastor of the nation.

By then we all knew what a philanderer JFK was, and so many past presidents. It didn’t have anything to do with their jobs (though I understand now there was quite a bit wrong with JFK and Clinton and their interns).

I think the type of people who are most effective at the job tend to be the type to cheat. To their credit, Bush and Obama were nice guys who seemed faithful to their wives, but then again they weren’t very good at the job. Trump at least has a watchdog press to make sure he stays in line.

I’m not saying only cheaters make great presidents. I’m sure there are great people who would do a good job even being nice family men. I think Romney could have been a good president, and he’s certainly not a cheater. And both Bush and Obama did a lot of things during their presidencies that I liked, but I can’t forgive Iraq and the rise of ISIS.

And by continuing to say these things, they are surely helping to assure another term for President Trump.

I don't think all Trump supporters are those things but most people who are those things support Trump. Trumpism is a backlash against the social progress of the Obama years. It's about a longing to return to yesteryear when white straight men where in charge and we had a patriarchal society. Women were in the kitchen, gays were in the closet, and minorities knew to stay out of sight out of mind. That's the America a large number of Trump supporters want.

Melinda Gates said that Presidents need to have “our” morals and values!

She then goes further about Trump tweets, etc.

Where was her remark about Bill Clinton having an intern “suc.... his di..”

I have no problem with her wealth, but I do have a problem with their picking and choosing what morals
And values we all have to agree to as clearly Melinda Gates is not an example as she was silent on Bill Clinton.
That hag and her husband have done more damage to our education system than CNN has done to the integrity of the press, and that's saying something!!!!

correction: the cheeto TELLS them who to hate, then they hate.

October 2016: hooray for comey, we love him!

May 2017: comey's a liar and a leaker, we hate him!

they may have, but they seem to be shedding those morals at an ever quickening pace.
