Roger Stone & Donald Trump are both Libertines....IOW, totally lacking in moral principles.

After decades in what he would describe as the center of the political ring, the Republican strategist was forced to resign from Bob Dole’s 1996 presidential campaign when his favorite publication, the National Enquirer, revealed he and his wife placed ads seeking swinging partners.

“Hot, insatiable lady and her handsome body builder husband, experienced swingers, seek similar couples or exceptional muscular … single men,” read the ad, placed in a magazine called Local Swing Fever. Stone originally denied the story’s authenticity, but admitted in 2008 that the ads were real. “When that whole thing hit the fan in 1996, the reason I gave a blanket denial was that my grandparents were still alive,” Stone told the New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin. “I’m not guilty of hypocrisy. I’m a libertarian and a LIBERTINE."
