What about someone like John Edwards who cheated on his wife dying of cancer, and then tried to destroy those who might blow the whistle on him?

By contrast, John Edwards went back to practicing law.

Here in SA, our president is a polygamist who is known to have had sex outside marriage (there was a court case about whether or not it was rape).

The funny thing is, the people who are most likely to say that an unfaithful husband is unsuitable to be president are probably also Trump supporters. Hilarious.

No, women in general are attracted to power and money.

The more money and perceived power a man has, the more women he will have the choice to sleep with.

The more money a man has, the more money he has after his wife and kids responsibilities are covered so that he can afford to spend money on the other woman.

Duly noted.

I guess whoever gave you a thumbs down never encountered a gold digger.

I can assure you that it is not uncommon even amongst the very poor.

Does anyone have any statistics that show that infidelity is more common amongst the rich?
