Trump has had three traditional marriages, but Clinton has only had one. Isn't Trump more qualified to defend traditional marriage?

This makes me wonder why he never chose Gingrich, I mean you could have had six traditional marriages!

First, I'm not sure what is to be "defended". Marriage is what you decide it is; not what someone else thinks it should be. Since I'm sure there are those who will use religion to define marriage (which would be a mistake), the Bible states that if your wife isn't having children, then the husband is directed to sleep with her sister. So there really isn't any "traditional marriage", because each person's views may be different. In Trump's case, it appears that marriage is for the time being until either he or his wife is tired of it. Some people believe it is to be forever, but that is only if the vows you take state that. There is no rule that says you must have, "till death do you part" in your marriage ceremony. While a small number of people are married until death, it is extremely rare.
Humans are very spontaneous and given that in this time sex is more of a social event, rather than necessarily an intimate one. Marriage and monogamy these days are not always terms used together. You can be married and sleep with someone other than your spouse, and you may be monogamous without being married. As far as Clinton goes, she appears to support marriage between two consenting adults, which seems logical. I don't think marriage itself needs to be defended, but rather those who wish to be married.

Clinton has not given up at marriage they continue to try and do stay together and seem happy. Where Trump quits at marriage. Marriage is a union in which you try to stay together and work out all differences accepting the good and bad. You may have a bad year but that is not a reason to quit often if both people persevere and try to love and care about each other treating each other as equals you can get over the hard times with happy times ahead. I have been divorced he was abusive. My second marriage has had turbulence but is mainly happy. We have been together 16years. That is a triumph. My second marriage is where I learned the most about traditional marriage.

Why would marriage have criteria based upon the number ?. Trump would not be the model to use, given he's failed 3 times.
Clinton would be best here, as to fulfilling the criteria of traditional marriage is 'till death do you part'
?
2016-07-19 21:29:37 UTC
Lol. I was lmao because of the stupidity of your question. So, apparently, Trump is more certified to become President because he married three wives. Clinton only married one man so she's most likely not going to become president. You really believe marrying more than one man or one woman automatically makes you eligible for office? So, you're saying you support Polygamy and Polyandry? Got it! Trump is sure to become president because he has more wives. I hope he keeps defending Tradition marriage because marriage is between one man and two women. Not two man and one women or two man or two women. Vote for Trump!!!

Troll.....your question already answers itself. If Trump can't maintain a "traditional" marriage without cheating on and leaving his spouse for another one every few years, he's obviously not qualified to "defend" anything family related. Is this what you do all day?
2016-07-19 09:19:16 UTC
Do you notice Trump's wives? They are all got that East European look. And they all look like a miss universe contestant. I doubt if any of the wives loves Trump because he's a loving guy and kind to everybody.
2016-07-19 11:30:46 UTC
I think what your getting at is funny. Divorce is against "Traditional Marriage" but if his track record of sticking to his guns when things turn rough like the many many Bankruptcies he should be the perfect underdog who doesn't give up. I personally think with the 169 federal Investigations/ Lawsuits for fraud and Financial abuse, Mob connection, illegal hiring practices, and racism practices at his places speaks wonders for his ability to handle Money and business acumen, his relation to law enforcement, Civil Rights issues. I mean what Normal person wouldn't want a President with Great family skills. I mean from his Many Many marriages to women who look like supermodel action Barbies and the accusation of raping a 13 yr old shows how well he is with Family values and Children.

A traditional marriage is "until death do us part," it also includes a declaration of fidelity. While Trump is a blatant cheater, you call that honest. He lied each time he took a new wife, just like he lies about everything else.
So far as I know, Hillary has not been accused of stepping out on her marriage, and if she chose to work on her marriage and see her promise through to the end, I can only respect that.

WHY bring up Bubba Clinton's marriage? Bubba ain't running for public office but Herr Donald duck-lips tRUMP, wannabe Fuhrer of America IS running a campaign of lies, deceit and fabrications, name-calling and no substance whatsoever (which obviously appeals to the ignorant bigots and racists). tRUMP is nothing but a clown and buffoon. IF he weren't so wealthy, no one would be listening or paying attention to his delusions.
Yeah, tRUMP has paid off each of his ex-wives not to discuss his "shortcomings." Go figure!

I think the only reason that Trump ever bothered to get married is is that he could control them far better with a pre-nuptial contract than he could without, and more than likely bolstered that up on his last two!
Trump probably knows more about wedding cake, and that is where it ends!!!

Trump is more qualified as an adulter. Trump is experienced as a thief, a liar and a crook. There is something seriously wrong with a man who poses as his own PR man who promotes his sexual prowess to the national news.
Trump used Malania. He had her pose nude on, his airplane for personal gain and to promote himself as a playboy.

Donald Trump is a very rich man, and has had many wives. But he will do and say whatever it takes to win the Republican vote, including defending traditional marriage. But I don't like to call it traditional marriage. I like to call it biblical marriage. He doesn't care about the Bible. He's just more inclined to pretend that he does than Hillary.

It's pretty obvious that, whatever else, Bill and Hillary admire each other and hold each other in high esteem, even if that regard hasn't extended to their marriage bed.
Men who quest for power are typically over-sexed. I haven't heard the same of women.
Sex is great and all, but it takes a lot more than sex to make a great marriage.
Bill and Hillary have come a long way since college. And now they seem to enjoy being grand-parents together.
...whereas Trump appears to consider his wives, his children, and his grandchildren to be his property, like everything else.

RUK respondent has not done his homework! The only woman to claim "rape" by then-Governor Bill Clinton, a married woman named Juanita Hickey who was cheating on her husband with a man named Broaddrick (whom she eventually married), was deemed "not credible" by the hardcore right-wing Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth Starr. Why? Because Hickey was sharing the hotel room she claimed this "rape" took place in with a friend (one of two sisters) who hated Governor Bill Clinton for commuting a prison sentence of the man who had killed the sisters' father years earlier, and also because Hickey was close friends with the Paula Jones Attorney Yoakum, who was about to have his case dismissed, so he commissioned friend Hickey to make the claim in order to bolster his own case. Starr determined that Hickey did not know the date of the alleged rape and that she had attended a private fundraiser for Governor Clinton's re-election at a Little Rock dentist's home with her husband Hickey two weeks after the supposed "rape", paying a large sum of money to be included. Hillary Clinton, as First Lady of Arkansas, it was discovered, simply thanked the attendees of the fundraiser, and Hickey was one of them.
Do all of you not find it appalling that the biblical-literalist "Christian" extremist Republicans who spouted "family values! family values!" as though only 'conservative' (uptight religious fundamentalists) Republicans could demonstrate this elusive qualify---their mantra all through the 1990s an 2000s, going so far to condemn a fictional character on TV "Murphy Brown" for having a baby "out of wedlock" as indicative of a lack of family values (although these same confused rightwing fanatics are against abortion)---have chosen in two presidential election cycles to embrace Newt Gingrich and now thrice-married (and lots of affairs) Donald Trump? Wonder what the GOP would consider to be the definition of HYPOCRITE!

Yes Trump is more qualified .
Bill Clinton is a filthy rapist and sex addict and has never been faithful to his wife.

Trump has been faithful to his first wife for many years ,until he fell in love with his second wife and he was faithful to her until they decided to split . He is also faithful to his third wife.
