he was "an ok person", but not necessarily what I would want in a president. Now I don't think he is okay. He is a seriously flawed person, not to mention a compulsive liar.

take us either closer to or further from that goodness.

And most are innocent in the sense that we don't determine
our early life influences and programming.

But at a certain point a person either pays attention to
conscience or ignores it.

When a person publicly and brazenly is lying about
another person, for the sake of acquiring power, that's
crossing a big line. In my mind there's no going back
except for a person to fully recognize and acknowledge their
own deception, and make amends.
