& later in his life, he married a young good-looking female & they had 4 children. Nobody ever accused him of being a nice person.

Unfortunately, too many terrible folks, have held/currently hold, political office. Strom Thurmond was one of them. Although he did good things for South Carolina from an economic standpoint, his racist policies are what defined his time in office. The fact that he provided support for the child he fathered is not especially noteworthy. It's the least he could have done.

PanhandleGuy, I'm from South Carolina. He started out pandering to his base like most politicians but he loved South Carolina and helped a lot of people of all races for a long time. Had a staff that was second to none.

Player #1427959, voters need to get more specific as to how long Senate or Congress members can hold an office. potus is 4. congress an senate could be maxed out at 10, that would be 2full terms in office.

Every public office should have a term limit. Especially supreme Court justices.

ChampionNymph37634, You're right, he did a lot for SC. I don't condone his bad behavior but facts are facts.
