To whom much is given, much is required. What a presidential candidate did twenty-five years ago does matter when you are seeking the highest office in America. Some things people did in their past is still with them today. If that candidate has had anything to do with hate groups in the past it is very important that it be known. If they experimented with any type of drug in the past that is important too. ANYONE that will have access to the NUCLEAR CODES must be fully vetted.
