Which candidate is most likely to have a sex scandal come out?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I exclude Trump, because although I have no doubt he has never been remotely close to monogamous In his lifetime, it certainly wouldn't be a scandal if his exploits were made public. It could come out that he literally had a ménage et trois with Obama and Hillary, and most people would be like "k".

Setting aside obvious closet-cases like Rubio and Perry, my main suspicions lie upon O'Malley, Huckabee and Cruz. The first was depicted as a wife-cheater in the Wire (and he got really sniffy at being presented as thus), Huckabee has that whole "corrupt southern pastor" vibe (and once bragged about showering with underage teen girls, remember) and pretty much everyone who has ever even remotely associated with Cruz talks about him being a massive creep foremost of all.

I'm assuming Sanders, as a hippy, probably had sex in a field or something. Probably the only person that can be assured of not having a ssex candal is Rand Paul. Libertarians don't get laid.

[Adam Griffin]

I don't know: Trump strikes me as very Nixonian in the fact that he probably doesn't actually enjoy sex all that much or have it very often, but he likes to keep young, gorgeous women around him because that's a status/power symbol (part of the marketing).

Rand Paul is the most likely to get caught in a consensual, swinger-type situation.

Santorum, well...

Ted Cruz would be the most likely guilty of rape (other than Trump, of course) and/or pedophilia.

As far as just regular cheating or whatever, I gotta lean toward either Christie or Carson.

[Crumpets]

Christie. It's really easy to picture this headline:


Christie announces withdrawal from race: "I have let down my friends, my supporters, my state, my office, and most importantly my family"

Wasn't the Bush campaign trying to spread rumors about Rubio?

BTW, neither Rubio nor Perry read gay / closeted to me.

The one about the Craigslist ad has been circling for a long time.

Ah, it takes a sex thread to motivate you to post on this Board I see. Nothing wrong with that, I hasten to add.

What's Hillary up to these days? Surely, it ain't Bill.

[Enduro]

Why are we having this conversation? You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

We don't do shame here. It isn't a part of our culture.

[President Johnson]

I say Rubio because he's not a bad looking guy.

[This account no longer in use.]

Santorum is anti-gay marriage to the point of obsession. I wouldn't be surprised if he were a closet case.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I get a Ken doll vibe from Santorum tbh

[Bismarck]

Where do people get the creepy vibe from Cruz? I would say if anything he just seems like an emotionless type who sees sex as a waste of time or something.

Me and BK drunkenly bought that book on Amazon one time. It's a terrific read!

[Mr. Reactionary]

Hillary.

[Maxwell]

Marco Rubio for sure, potentially either sex.

[TDAS04]

Rubio.

[Likely Voter]

This guy...


He aint letting those abs go to waste.

Probably Santorum, probably gay BDSM. Maybe worse, I could definitely see Santorum keeping severed genitalia in his freezer or something equally deranged.

Considering Santorum and his wife once slept with his newborn's corpse, then brought it home to present to their other children, that actually seems rather likely.

[DrScholl]

Rubio would be the most likely. There was that lobbyist who appeared multiple times on his credit card charges.

[ProudModerate2]

Definitely Trump.
Though I doubt it would hurt him much, in the primaries.

[Cassius]

To be honest, given that Santorum's been in politics for nearly a quarter of a century, served two terms in the Senate, has run for the Presidency twice and is most well-known for being a staunch social conservative and sticking up for 'family values', I find it highly unlikely that any kind of illicit behaviour on his part wouldn't have come to light by now, given the times we live in. He really does seem to be a fundamentally decent, honourable individual, whatever you think of his political views.

As to the question, Trump's an obvious candidate (although I'd echo what others have said about it not hurting him much if at all, and I'd also say that given his fame and the amount of media scrutiny that he receives, it's rather unlikely that anything we don't already know about his private life will emerge during the campaign), and possibly Rubio, if these rumours that keep swirling around him are even somewhat grounded in reality. I can also, almost, imagine Jeb! being caught in some kind of John Majoresque sex scandal.

[Maxwell]

Definitely Trump.

For Trump, I doubt it'd even be a sex scandal. It'd probably boost his numbers because having an affair is a very, well, Trump thing to do.

[The Other Castro]

Trump could pull a card from "The Campaign" and have an affair with Ted Cruz's wife, and his numbers would probably go up.

[Sir Mohamed]

Either Trump or Rubio.
