What Trump dreamt of, president Clinton certainly did - and worse. Trump's main problem is that he represents the side that isn't supposed to be sinful, while the other ones get to be - as long as they are more likeable than not.
Typical sinner guy talk. The guy isn't/wasn't a saint. Neither has any other president been. Stuff just didn't get outed. Only an issue because it's politics.

The way I remember it there was less disgust with Bill Clinton and the whole Lewinsky affair 20 years ago, both here and over there. Which is ridiculous since both places have become less moralistic during those two decades. On average. Which side they each represent has to have everything to do with it.
I'd sooner choose to do business with a (basically) honest sinner, than with a snake in the grass who is trying to feign wearing a robe of righteousness.

Christian Leaders React to Trump Video Scandal
https://stream.org/christian-leaders...video-scandal/
...So what are Christian leaders – many of whom backed Trump enthusiastically while others more grudgingly – saying? Below are more than a dozen statements, with credit to Sarah Bailey at The Washington Post for collating many of the Tweets, as well as other statements...
Ralph Reed, a conservative Christian activist and the head of Trump’s religious advisory board, said that as the father of two daughters, he was disappointed by the “inappropriate” comments.
“But people of faith are voting on issues like who will protect unborn life, defend religious freedom, grow the economy, appoint conservative judges and oppose the Iran nuclear deal,” he said in an email.
He contrasted Trump with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, saying that her “corrupt use of her office to raise funds from foreign governments and corporations and her reckless and irresponsible handling of classified material on her home-brewed email server, endangering US national security, that will drive the evangelical vote.”
“I think a 10-year-old tape of a private conversation with a TV talk show host ranks pretty low on their hierarchy of their concerns,” he said.
Franklin Graham:
The crude comments made by Donald J. Trump more than 11 years ago cannot be defended. But the godless progressive agenda of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton likewise cannot be defended. I am not endorsing any candidates in this election. I have said it throughout this presidential campaign, and I will say it again — both candidates are flawed. The only hope for the United States is God. Our nation’s many sins have permeated our society, leading us to where we are today. But as Christians we can’t back down from our responsibility to remain engaged in the politics of our nation. On November 8th we will all have a choice to make. The two candidates have very different visions for the future of America. The most important issue of this election is the Supreme Court. That impacts everything. There’s no question, Trump and Clinton scandals might be news for the moment, but who they appoint to the Supreme Court will remake the fabric of our society for our children and our grandchildren, for generations to come....

I know some are saying we're not electing a national pastor or Sunday school teacher, but that's not the issue. To many of us who are conservative, integrity isn't about pastoring or teaching Sunday School. Simply being truthful, honest, and forthright is, to me and others, a prerequisite for being president. Sleeze artists need not apply. I would never want my grandson to look up to "President" Trump as someone to emulate.
I was never for Trump and I'm certainly not now. My only hope is he steps aside and Pence heads the ticket. By the way, remember only a few months ago Trump was saying he had never asked God for forgiveness because he had never done anything requiring forgiveness? In light of recent events, he REALLY doesn't get it. No, he cannot be president.
