Nobody cares who this guy is diddling.

1. I guess NC voters prefer a candidate who screws his mistress(es)...

...to one who screws them.

[dweller]

2. i guess he broke no laws

yet the deJoy $$ tillis accepted is illegal funds ...

✌🏼

[niyad]

3. If cal is not running as a family values candidate, his affairs are between him and his wife and

partners.

[cwydro]

17. He has used his family in his campaign. I wish he hadn't.

He still has my vote, but I have the same taste in my mouth as I did when I learned about Edwards.

Something really twisted about these men.

Tillis is scum, and I want us to win the Senate, but Cunningham really did no one any favors with this nonsense. Smh.

[warmfeet]

21. Yep.

John Edwards was a disappointment. What is so wrong with being a good person?

Jimmy Carter. I look up to him.

[flibbitygiblets]

4. Guess THOM is the one who's getting screwed

About effing time Americans stopped acting like a bunch of pearl-clutching puritans.

[magicarpet]

5. Un-puritanically speaking,... I could care less.

Between wife, himself, mistress.....

[BlueStater]

6. I'll be happy if the guy wins.

But I’m sure he’ll have no career beyond the Senate. Like John Edwards, a man I once supported and who ended up breaking my heart, he’s proven he has wretched judgment and can not be trusted to not blow a close election for his own selfish needs.

[XanaDUer2]

8. I donated money

And will give anything to get Tillis out. Cal did use poor judgement and i hope it doesnt keep Tillis in office

[cwydro]

12. Yes, he has my vote.

But very disappointed in his judgement.

[PTWB]

18. I can't think of any Presidents whose affairs were quite public, can you?

[JI7]

20. There is nothing wrong with a lontime Senate career. And he could end up like Gavin Newsom

instead of John Edwards.

[XanaDUer2]

7. Thank you

Thank God

[LanternWaste]

9. Last week's concern has been illustrated as lacking any substance or merit.

2016 invalidated any self-righteousness about extra-marital affairs as empty and ineffectual.

[Kingofalldems]

10. Yes, lots of concern here last week.

[LanternWaste]

13. 'Concern' is generous. 'Bumper stickers' may be more apt.

I'm guessing a lot more concern being thrown at the wall in the hope something sticks will be seen in the next three weeks.

[lostnfound]

32. I expressed concern because I'm in N.C. but I am so frickin happy with this poll

This is great great news.

[Blue_true]

11. I am very glad to see Cunningham holding a big lead.

Voters need to finish off his opponent. Maybe Cunningham’s explanations were accepted by voters, it helps that his opponent is a spouse abuser (third lowest form of human, next to a child predator and a child abuser).

[Shermann]

14. Running another man's dirty laundry up the flagpole requires some tact

Swing and a miss by Tactless Tillis

[radius777]

15. Nobody cares about sex anymore as long as it's consensual.

We have 215k dead bodies due to Trump/GOP/McConnel and need to get them out of office.

Cal's affairs are a personal issue between his wife/family - what should concern voters is what policies he will implement to improve their lives.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Yup, complicity with treason

is far worse than sexting.

[PTWB]

19. No one cares about a consensual affair. [nsfw language]

I want a politician who fucks his mistress, not a politician who is trying to fuck ME.

[SMC22307]

22. Ads are running in NC about the husband who was cheated on being a wounded paratrooper...

and that the Army is investigating. It ends with Tillis walking hand-in-hand with his wife. Hope that poll is accurate and all those Cunningham folks vote! Tillis is one I ESPECIALLY want gone.

[BGBD]

23. ummm

Why would the Army care?

[SMC22307]

24. Beats the hell out of me. Try to think like a Republican though...

and why they felt the need to mention that. I believe Cunningham is a retired Army reservist and Rethugs are trying to squeeze whatever they can out of his affair.

[LisaL]

27. Army has rules against infidelity.

NT

[SMC22307]

28. I'm not really keeping up with this story, but I thought he was retired...

and the affair recent. Oh, well, we'll see how it gets sorted.

[hack89]

25. Cunningham is in the Army Reserves

He is part of the Army. Adultery is a crime in the military.

[radius777]

34. That's absurd, I'm sure many of them have affairs.

Just shows how backward alot of this country and its institutions still are.

Maybe we can get Bloomberg to hire a PI firm to find infidelities amongst those attempting to persecute Cal.

[hack89]

35. It is very common for officers to be relieved over extramarital affairs

The military takes honesty and trustworthiness seriously. It is a bigger issue if the other person is also in the military but even this situation is a big deal.

[LisaL]

26. Because if he was in an army when he had an affair, that's against the rules.

If he wasn't in the army then he is off the hook as far as army is concerned.

[essme]

29. I am voting for Cal in early voting. In NC, Trump and his ilk salted the road

to "family values" the minute his check cleared to Stormy.

I don't give a good goddamn if Cal sexted a poodle. That ship has sailed.

[Rice4VP]

30. Didn't the other guy beat up his ex?

Is this new information, or people just didn’t care when they elected him?

[iluvtennis]

31. Of course we as Dems would prefer the sexting stuff hadn't occurred. But you have to do trade-off

of if vote for the Cal w/sexting scandal or not for him and let Tillis win because of a non vote. That's the wrong decision. We have to vote on the basis of adding more Dems to the Senate, period.

[Blue Owl]

33. Ta Ta, Tillis...

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

36. Yeah, nobody cares about sexting. n/t
