Pennsylvania
When did character stop mattering to Pennsylvania voters? | PennLive letters
Pennsylvania has been fertile ground for sleaze on both sides of the political aisle: Abscam, Bonusgate, Kids for Cash, et al. But those past embarrassments are nothing compared to the potential disaster on the horizon.
Here’s why: The villains in those past scandals weren’t voted into office by an already alerted electorate. Those voters could not have anticipated the level of greed and depravity that would follow. Today, millions in this commonwealth fully intend to vote for Donald Trump, a man whose total moral rot is no longer debated by serious people.
This begs the question, when did character stop mattering?
