  11. ​ @PJH13  "If he was 17 at the time, I might agree with you." Why does it matter if he was 17 or 40 at the time? That literally has no bearing on whether his heart has changed regarding that. Heck, whether or not he did it a year ago would have no bearing on whether his heart changed regarding that. "It was only a few years ago and he was a fully grown adult." And fully grown adults can have a change of heart. Similar to how you absolutely still do wrong to people yourself, but we both know you can change from that. "It's not a matter for me to forgive someone anyway, it's for their victim." No, it is actually everyone's business to forgive someone, if said person is truly repentful and turned away from the wrong they did. And frankly, you are the one holding the weight of the wrong he's done in the past over his head right now. If he has genuinely had a change of heart and turned away from his abusive behavior then you are absolutely are in the place of needing to forgive him, especially being you're the one holding it against him. "What I am concerned about, is what it tells us about how suited he is for one of the biggest responsibilities in the world." With all due respect, even if he had zero change of heart regarding his abusive behavior in his personal relationships, this would have literally zero bearing on his capacity to be a leader. Sorry to let you down, but if personal wrong-doings was a bearing on one's capacity to lead, then literally every person to ever hold a position in the executive branch in all of US history would be unfit, by your books. That said, if he HAS had a true change of heart and is truly in a different position regarding how women should be treated, e.g. with respect and dignity, why would you hold his past over him and say that his past disqualifies his merits now, even if his heart is where it should be now?
