Humans and men by nature are not monogamous. The idea is to get your seed to as many mates as you can to procreate your genetic information. It is a modern societal invention, this concept of monogamy. It takes a very strongwilled person to go against nature and deny their carnal desires and evolutionary needs just to make themselves appear moral to the public. I have no qualms about mistresses or having extramarital affairs. I don't even have an issue with politicians that run on family values points that have mistresses; AS LONG AS THEY ARE HONEST ABOUT IT. To their spouses and to the public who voted them in.
Had he said, "I have sexual desires that are outside of my bedroom with my wife. My wife and I have discussed this slight sexual disconnect and have come to a decision that is mutually beneficial. We have determined that to satisfy my desires completely, I would be allowed to exhibit myself to other women of appropriate age and that would be the line not to cross. This has been my line before my wedding, and throughout my marriage and it has satisfied my desires outside the bedroom in a safe way. This has led to a more close bond with my wife and promoted more positive communication with her and I to the benefit of our union. It is unfortunately that these private expressions of my sexual desires were hacked and leaked out, but this is the origin of such pictures and can only apologize to the public that these were not release voluntarily by me or my staff and those that did leak them did so inappropriately and maliciously to deface me and my family."
Now if he had said that, I would move to NY just so I could vote for him.
