Did I say that Clinton's flaw was ok? See my other post to less. I think everyone has at least one huge flaw; Clinton's was infidelity. We need to decide if that one huge flaw is something that will affect that leaders ability to govern. George Washington was aloof, and he was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. John Adams was grating and obnoxious. Thomas Jefferson was vain and his religious beliefs were anti-Christian, for the times. Let's assume that every president also suffered from a huge inflated ego - why on earth would anyone take the job otherwise? The issue is not necessarily character, it is whether a president's character flaw(s) are something that interfere with their ability to run the country. The question that everyone must ask themselves is, do the flaw they perceive in the candidates affect their leadership? To me, making a nasty joke about a teenager is offensive, but if that were his only flaw, I could probably live with it. However, the pattern of nastiness and anger, along with his advanced age, lead me to believe he is too flawed for the job.
