Years later he was still upset about what he should have anticipated. The BIL was convicted in 1996.-"had been convicted of raping his wife, Patrick’s sister, more than a decade earlier in California"-1993. He served some time and they reunited-then in 2017 they separate, supposedly, and in Dec 2017 he attacks what is reported as his estranged wife. He is arrested in June 2018.

If I were to vote in a presidential

This is not good. George II Nov 2019 #1

Does he really think this isn't going to end things before they begin? madaboutharry Nov 2019 #2

Just as bad, and disqualifying, is Deval Patrick's work for Bain Capital... double trouble!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #29

That is disqualifying. 50 Shades Of Blue Nov 2019 #3

It is disqualifying...we agree on that if not who the nominee should be. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #5

Yup! I'm guessing neither of us will have to vote for *this* candidate - 50 Shades Of Blue Nov 2019 #6

I agree...and of course I would vote for you candidate! Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #30

Ditto yours!!! 50 Shades Of Blue Nov 2019 #53

Very true for most of us...hadn't thought of that. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #64

It is. You'll both get your minds right some day. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2019 #20

More importantly...is this disqualifying! Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #31

Yes it is! I was agreeing! Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2019 #35

Good to know... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #45

Yep. NurseJackie Nov 2019 #23

I have always had a very high opinion of Governor Patrick. nycbos Nov 2019 #4

Did Patrick think this wouldn't come out? dware Nov 2019 #7

Or, Worse, Did He Think It Would Just Blow Over? nt smb Nov 2019 #17

If that was his thinking, dware Nov 2019 #19

He probably did. nycbos Nov 2019 #75

This didn't just come out. It's been known since before he was elected governor StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #26

So we're supposed to just ignore this? dware Nov 2019 #13

It's called vetting BeyondGeography Nov 2019 #16

So happy to agree with members of my DU 'family' when we have been on different sides. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #33

Yes, believe it or not BeyondGeography Nov 2019 #37

I agree...even though I come across as a 'real bitch' sometimes....I like everyone here and will Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #44

I guess being a managing partner at Bain Capital wasn't disqualifying enough, sop Nov 2019 #18

I despise Bain Capital...as do most in Ohio...I despise all equity vulture firms. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #43

The Onion once again prescient: Saviolo Nov 2019 #21

Haha...so funny...needed it today! Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #34

This story was more complicated than that StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #24

The fact the guy just got convicted of another rape sure ain't gonna help matters. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2019 #25

Yeah, that's gonna hurt him. dware Nov 2019 #28

The hearing officer, not Patrick StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #32

This is what I found...he could never never be our nominee. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #39

Of course, you're free to vote as you choose StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #42

It was a brother-in-law who raped his sister StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #61

They were reconciled and married at the time. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2019 #67

He's still the guy who raped his sister StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #69

Look the Deval appointees should not have tried to stop this guy from remaining on the sex offender Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #49

You have the facts wrong StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #68

Sure that will work well ...another woman was raped...you do know that right? Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #40

The woman was his second wife StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #71

She might have avoided him...sorry he is a bad guy and Patrick should not have done anything to help Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #76

no it won't stopdiggin Nov 2019 #47

Being Managing Director of Bain Capital isn't complicated... AncientGeezer Nov 2019 #55

Perhaps. But that's not the issue being discussed here StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #70

It's pretty cut and dried. 58Sunliner Nov 2019 #72

Amazing how they think their past won't catch up with them Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #36

Yeah... I don't think Deval Patrick protected the guy who raped his sister. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2019 #38

Ok - Deval needs to get on a debate stage with Kamala so that she can prosecute him on live TV... Skya Rhen Nov 2019 #41

Maybe she can ask him about the $12,000 damask drapes Green Line Nov 2019 #52

Willie Horton was a legitimate issue, first raised by Al Gore, but Jose Garcia Nov 2019 #60
