Dammit NC Democrats, can you field a candidate capable of not having extramarital affairs? Maybe I’m oldschool, but I remember a time when political careers were finished when a scandal like this broke.

This hurts—I volunteered for Cunningham’s campaign during the primary (pre-COVID). I donated too. He’s staying in the race, but I think he’s pretty much finished at this point. Can’t stand Tillis—seems we’ll be stuck with him for 6 more. Ughhhh.

According to FiveThirtyEight, that race was one of the top four closest in the country. So there was at least a 1 in 3 chance of getting Tillis back anyway.

I too donated some money to his campaign. What a f---ing idiot. All you had to do was keep your dick in your pants for a few months and you couldn't. Deserves to lose honestly.


Best thing to do here is own it and move on.

Extramarital affairs should bring in republican voters. They absolutely love the adulterer in chief, who is on his 3 wife.

 

[jpeyton]

Not much oxygen left in the news cycle for something like this. This election will be about one person, and everyone down ballot is along for the ride.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

How does this even qualify as a scandal in 2020?

Quid says this isn't the first time.

 

[HomerJS]

2020 scandals. Sexting vs passing on COVID.

So, sexting? Meh, who cares.

 

[TheVrolok]

Only Dems (in a general sense) care about this. I'm registered D and I don't care who my candidate fucks/wants to fuck. Do your job well and you can sleep with whomever you please.

My younger self was deeply conservative. Now, if it's legal and doesn't interfere with your job, dgaf. Conservatives only care to make Liberals feel ashamed, but conservatives don't actually care.

Sexting? Is the receiver of legal age? Can you do your job? If that's a Yes and Yes, I'd do it

Given the category 5 news hurricane in progress this is the time to dump any news you're looking to get rid of. I'm skeptical it impacts his race any. Also people really dislike Tillis who is now COVID positive and probably can't capitalize on this much.

10 to 1 he was set up.

 

[kage69]

Setting aside the irony of this in the age of the pornstar presidency, this almost sounds too lame to be true. Might be some desperate honey in that pot, just saying.

 

[K1052]

Lol watching republicans leap on this like it's a barely floating deck chair from the Titanic. Any claims to morality here were long since shot and it's going to be a real uphill battle to get voters to care if they even hear about it.

 

[ewdotson]

Honestly, consensual sexting seems like a downright boring "scandal" these days.

Sounds like it was just sexting, so i guess his dick stayed in his pants? Still stupid during an election cycle though.

Doubt it. He was flirting with a Dem campaign strategist. Based on the messages alone, I’m almost certain they’ve known each other for a long time (“wow can’t believe your son is 8 now!”) and have had intimate relations.

Now as for how a right wing blog staffed by former Breitbart reporters found out (and got screenshots from her phone) I’ll bet there are some shens involved.

What is the big deal? Democrat party should be rejoicing as they have no morals or values.

I’m going to get the shit stomped out of me for saying this.
I lean towards elected folks who have high sex drives.
Appears many of the best Presidents and really good Senators had a certain type of sex drive.
Something about poon hounds makes good leaders.

To be clear this isn’t saying they should be trolling malls looking for young women or doing creepy wide stance things at the urinal. Those are totally different.

Now I need to read the link to make sure it isn’t a creepy thing....

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Hahaha
“The only thing I have to do is you”

That rates up there with
“My shirts made of boyfriend material”


I like how this guy closes.

Those lines weren’t from him—they were from Ms. Guzman Todd (I’m going off the screenshots—blue text bubbles are sender and it appears to come from her phone, since his name is up top.) She had all the best pick up lines in their convo.

Also, note how at some point “Cal Cunningham” became “Cal Cunningham” in her contacts lol!!! She was ‘hot’ for him.

Fuck I missed that.
He even chooses the right woman, provided this wasn’t a setup.

edit: I saw her picture. He picked a good one, his wife is a good choice too.

Stand back and stand down.
