That's what I was talking about. They were not worse, and your example is a great one.
Gary Hart had an alleged affair. It was never proven, but there were press reports about it. His campaign also owed about $4 million. Based on those two issues, as publicized by the press, his campaign was sunk; most people did not want to vote for someone like that.
Trump had three well documented affairs. One was proven in court. The other two resulting in his marrying the woman he was having an affair with. He has cheated on all three wives - again, very publicly.
Trump is an adjudicated rapist, and has stated he enjoys sexual assault. 26 other women state they have been sexually assaulted by him.
Trump is a 34 times convicted felon, convicted of crimes of election interference.
Trump owes billions to people ranging from banks to contractors to individuals that he has never paid back. He forfeited on a $280 million loan - then sued the people who gave him the loan, stating they made a mistake in loaning it to him.
And not only did all that not sink his campaign, it increased his popularity.
It has often been said that it's inconceivable how people could support Hitler, or Mussolini, or Lenin, or Stalin. How could that happen? Now we know.
