How long will it be before no decent person will be able to remain in the Republican Party?

I think we’re there.  Who do you consider decent? McCain?  Rubio?  Haley?

All this hand-wringing over the moral character of politicians is childish.  It's kind of like marrying a porn star and then objecting that your spouse has sex with a lot of people.
Of course, they need to be accountable to anti-corruption laws, but to get upset because they aren't as innocent as babes-in-arms is odd.  These are people for whom winning is everything and they  whine, wheedle, wow, coax, smooze, obfuscate, posture, etc. - whatever it takes to win.
So, I look for the candidates who will support government policies that I want to see enacted.

I think it’s neither childish nor odd to expect elected leaders to uphold certain standards of behavior and morals. Speaking for myself I don’t hand-wring about pols not being as innocent as babes-in-arms, but as a voter I do consider the person as well as the policies.

 I was thinking about ordinary citizens rather than politicians.
