I will add this: Because there really is no standard, it truly becomes a political issue, not an ethical issue. This is what the Dems figured out before Trump came along, and Trump figured it out, too. There is no ethical standard on this kind of stuff. It is only a political standard, and political standards are not based on right and wrong, but on what you can get away with. Both parties will live by this, which means that the Right will be lobbing the same types of stuff at the next Dem president. Perhaps you will be the one noble crusader. I will be the pestering peanut gallery, sitting in my recliner, lamenting that each cycle takes the country further and further down. The good news is, as bad as Trump is, he is actually a net positive for the country, and I don't understand why you would sacrifice that.
