Tony Perkins: Trump gets a 'mulligan' over Stormy Daniels from Evangelicals
by Melissa Quinn | Jan 23, 2018, 10:40 AM

President Trump gets a "mulligan" from evangelical voters for some of his past behavior — including an alleged affair with a former adult film star — as long as he comes through on policy, said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council.

“We kind of gave him, ‘All right, you get a mulligan. You get a do-over here,” Perkins told Politico in a podcast posted Tuesday.

Perkins was asked about reports of Trump’s affair with Stephanie Clifford, whose stage name is Stormy Daniels, in 2006 — months after his wife, Melania, gave birth to their son, Barron.

Michael Cohen, a lawyer for Trump, reportedly arranged for Clifford to receive $130,000 a month before the election to keep quiet about her sexual encounter with Trump.

I'm waiting for Trump to actually shoot someone on 5th Avenue to test his theory.

A perfect metaphor when you consider Stormy could suck a golf ball thru a 50' garden hose.

On Wedding Anniversary, Melania Trump Cancels Trip With President To Davos

First Lady Melania Trump has cancelled plans to join President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to mark the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary.

Trump is set to speak Friday at the annual gathering of world and business leaders at a resort in the Swiss alps.

The first lady won’t be able to attend because of “scheduling and logistical issues,” Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s Director of Communications confirmed to CNN early Tuesday.

They won't be together for Lucky 13 (ironically, the lace anniversary) but will, however, keep In Touch.....

Yes the same people who went berserk over Clinton, Lewinsky and a blue dress back in the olden days - today have mellowed to the stated understanding that when voting for President, we are not voting for a pope or Christ - so lewd sexual character.. - er.... ANY questionable character no longer matters when it is OUR GUY who is doing it.  They just want someone who will kick ass and take names - they don't care whom he bangs besides his wife or what he changes his mind about minute to minute.

'Slouching towards Gomorrah'?  It should have been titled  "Freefalling into Gomorrah".

I remember those days... To be honest, I don't know if believe it or not, I have to follow it some more.  However, I remember a lot of people on our side getting excited that Clinton fathered a child out of wedlock.

Where's the hypocrisy?   Everyone knows Trump is on his third marriage with infidelity being a major factor.

Oh so sadly misinformed.

Anyone can be, doesn;t mean they wont be judged for their sins, but they will be forgiven if they seek it.   Anyone can be, and sadly you probably know this but prefer to make snide remarks about Christians.

Yeah Trump hid it so well didn't he.  We are just now finding out the man was a cad, a bounder.  Let the NT'ers righteous indignation ring out!  lol

Most of us know what a Milligan is in the golfing vernacular.  I had to check urban dictionary just to make sure it wasn't some other euphemism in this instance.

Hogwash.
Clinton was well known as a rapist an adulterer before he campaigned for President.

Clinton / Lewinski / blue dress was about PERJURY and OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE. The MSM emphasized the sex. Only those who wanted to ignore the felonies that were committed chose to make  it all about sex.

The main reason to go "berserk over Clinton" was the sale of missile guidance system information in exchange for campaign contributions. That crime is now coming to full fruition.

If this story is true, it'll be about the payment, how it was handled, and the legal implications behind it.  Watch the WH make it about the press interest in salaciousness, though.

Geez. I remember when some Christian conservatives were concerned that Reagan had been divorced and remarried.

They are already making that point about the payment.

I find it interesting how Cohen, knowing he was on the record with the WSJ, denied the affair and dodged discussion of the payment.

Yes but IIRC, he used sort of weasel words like Donald Trump didn't pay her....of course technically it was the shell company the LLC that Cohen opened that, if true, paid her and likely wrote the check  not Payable to Stormy Daniels but to her real name or a pseudonym, so as to allow her to be somewhat truthful in her denials. Besides, even if on the records with the WSJ, it's not like being under oath, not a crime to lie to the press...

It's not, but he knows they probably have some sort of paper trail on the payment.  He was dumb enough to leave his own name on the LLC as a concerned party.  It should have been outsourced to another attorney.  If he goes into denials about it, that opens questions about his other statements concerning the encounter.
