\"how_common_is_infidelity_anyway\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Donald J. Trump has enlisted two of the more ironic choices to stand up for him as he ponders whether to raise the issue of former President Bill Clinton’s marital difficulties during the presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani are two of the GOP nominee’s main men on the subject of marital fidelity.<\/p>\n

The irony is rich!<\/p>\n

For starters, Trump is now on his third marriage. He has bragged about cheating on wives No. 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

Gingrich? Well, let’s see. He, too, is on his third marriage. Calista Gingrich once worked for Newtie when the speaker was railing against Bill Clinton’s affair with the White House intern. It turns out Newtie was fooling around with Calista while he was married to wife No. 2 — and while he was telling Americans that the president had the morals of an alley cat.<\/p>\n

Guiliani? OK, there’s this. He’s on his third marriage as well. The first marriage ended in divorce. But then Rudy decided later to seek and annulment from his first wife. Why annul the marriage? Because he’s a practicing Catholic and church doctrine doesn’t allow divorce. So, an annulment wipes a marriage off the books as if it never happened. I guess I should mention that Guiliani also engaged in extramarital activity.<\/p>\n

Three politicians. Nine marriages among them. Several extramarital affairs, too.<\/p>\n

I truly dislike talking about this stuff in the context of a presidential campaign. Trump, though, brought it up.<\/p>\n

He might bring the issue of Bill Clinton’s transgressions to the forefront at the next joint appearance scheduled with the former president’s wife, Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.<\/p>\n

Someone as well will have to explain to me as if I’m a third-grader how Bill Clinton’s behavior really matters in the current<\/em> campaign for the presidency.<\/p>\n

Well … ? How is any of this relevant?<\/p>\n\n
