means that person is a life-long decent person.
I've been around politics and elections since 1960. I can't tell you how many times I have cringed over something I learned about a Democratic candidate. There was a state assembly candidate in California who was forever trying to feel up young women who were trying to help him win an election. He was a "great guy," a lot of people said. "Full of charm." A "winner." I dropped off his campaign team and supported the woman who did win.
Here's the thing: a lot of men who seek political office were BMOCs in college, leaders of their fraternities, and then became leaders in their local Rotary or Kiwanis clubs before their first run for office. All of those things are or were groups of "hail fellow, well met" men. I've been around them all my life. Mostly, I don't like them. They'll snicker at the dirty jokes, laugh at a story with racial overtones, and so forth. But, they're popular among their peers and end up running for office.
Mostly, that other side of their personalities isn't exhibited except among their male peer group. But, it's there.
I haven't seen the same from the Democratic women in politics I have known. Not at all. Perhaps that's why I've gravitated toward helping women candidates more often than men.
There are wonderful men in politics, too, but you just don't know. Unless you're closely associated with them, you don't know how they are in their private lives. I hate being embarrassed by someone I have supported.
