I don't think less of Trump for having three marriages or more of someone else for having one or none. I don't want personalities for me to like or to love or to hate... I just want someone who can do the job and says they will do it the ways I most think are best. Then again I never watch stuff like TMZ or buy People magazine etc.

Just some thoughts sparked here. If outsiders are fashionable I have never felt more like one.

I agree with you but on another note a politician personal life does tells something about how he does his job. Would it really be OK for a president to be an excellent president but in his private life he is an alcoholic/drug addicted/sex addicted/serial gambler etc? More than enything would a thing like this even be possible?
Even a "light" mistake like that of Clinton could have make him corruptible, and a president shouldn't be of all things corruptible.
But here I'm even not talking about mistakes, those are human, I'm talking about ways of life that condition and in turn are conditioned by one's work. We have someone that changes wife to the new model after a certain number of years and talks about loyalty and values. Inserted in his overall boasting, superficial, histrionic, susceptible, moody, exploiting, envious personality this paint someone that is ill-suited to such a power position.
