It's probably Jeb! Because the Jeb! + a lobbyiest rumor has been going around awhile. And at one point Jeb! Was supposed to be the nominee hands down. Blind Gossip isn't Politico or WaPo. They probably don't know that it won't be Jeb! Stick with Hollywood Blind Gossip!
Do a majority of people still care about this kind of thing? Eh. I have a feeling shoulders will mostly shrug, especially if it's Trump. He's already been married three times and it seems like his wife is not prominent in his campaign anyway.
eta: If it is Trump, I don't think it's a comparable situation to John and Elizabeth Edwards. People LOVED her. She was a huge draw in his campaign.
How quickly do we usually get an answer on these things? When would it come to light?
I'm guessing early January to avoid people being too busy to pay attention during the holidays.
I feel like the solved Blind Gossips get solved within a few weeks of the initial post. I think it was a couple of weeks between their post about Charlie Sheen's HIV status and his announcement (that's the most recent big revelation I can remember related to Blind Gossip).
An admission of an affair with a PP lobbyist is probably the only thing that could get me to watch the debate tonight. Somebody tag me if that happens.

There's a debate tonight?
Yes! And it starts in exactly four hours, fifty minutes and....wait, forty-nine minutes and fifty seconds!

Ok. I haven't read every response. Just got to Cicero's thing on Trump and the lobbyists, so this might have already been said. The RNC wants him out. If this is the case they are leaking it.

I think 'game-changer' is probably a clue as to who the candidate is. Is there a candidate who says this a lot or who has been referred to as a 'game-changer'? I feel like this site tends to drop hints like this.
Wasn't that the title of the book about Obama, the Clintons, McCain & Palin?
My initial thoughts were that this had to be a GOP candidate but the subtitle of Game Change is "Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime". Lately - or maybe not lately but on my radar lately - it seems HRC has been posting lots of family pictures on her FB account and talking a lot about being a grandma. Sometimes BG is a bit loose with how they define things, like "family values". And I think they had another recent blind about rumors of an affair between HRC and Huma Abedin (who is not a lobbyist but there was some weirdness with her having four positions at one time and Congress made a stink about her apparent conflict of interest).
Like I said, my initial thought was GOP and specifically Rubio since that would tie into the recent post about someone not bothering to dig up dirt on him. Why waste resources if everyone knows he's going to self destruct soon?
I don't think she'd run for POTUS if she has a skeleton like this in her closet. I think the American public would be less forgiving of a female candidate having an extramarital affair*. Just my feeling. I mean, I guess it could be her but I don't think it is.
*Hillary's situation would be more complicated if this is about her considering she's Bill Clinton's wife, so there may be some people who would give her a standing ovation and say "Get it, girl!!!!" lol
Oddly, my first thought was HRC, but that's because it truly would be a game changer. I'm not so certain an affair, even with a lobbyist* would be as hurtful to the front running GOP candidates.
*probably depends on behalf of whom they lobby for

Trumps followers can barely put words into sentences; they're certainly not going to give a fuck that he violated his own rhetoric by climbing in bed with the NRA or whatever. This is the same dude who is all "no foreign people except for the ones I marry!" And "I believe in traditional families! (Where I leave one wife constantly for a younger model and get taken to the cleaners over spousal support)".
Do you guys think he puts self tanner on his dick or is it this tiny white cheese curd in a field of Cheetos and combover pubes?
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
The main thing I got out of this thread is that, even after seeing Christie in those baseball pants, I would still rather have sex with him than Ted Cruz. I'm not sure if I'm proud or ashamed...
I would bet money that it's Carson. I think that would be the only candidate that would shake things up, because I do think his supporters would be shocked and appalled.
Any of the other ones, I don't think anyone would really care, TBH. Except Fiorina, maybe.

There have been rumors HRC is a secret lesbian/bisexual who has had affairs with women for YEARS. Since her husband was in office. So, I mean, I don't feel that would be a game changer. Plus, when *I* look at the Clintons, I don't think "Happy family!" I think, "Political business partners married for show."

is it because it looks so little that you'd barely feel it?

Honestly, I feel like this describes the majority of political couples. If you're talking about one where both partners are in politics I think the percentage goes way way up.
