2. His rep is not enhanced by his wife's antics

A philandering husband looks bad, but in a way, to more than a few, seems "heroic". "Getting a little strange on the side." "How does he get all those women?"

The flip side is a guy whose wife leaves him for another man. Suddenly, while he's sympathetic, he also gets seen as somehow less than a man.

I am not defending any of these views, but I do think they're real and I do think they'll affect Daniels if he runs.
