    Shouldn't it be framed, then, as: "Don't vote for the rapist (Trump), vote for the accomplice of the rapist (Clinton)." In general, wives should not be held at fault for rapes perpetrated by their husbands. There is something insidiously sexist about it, as if a man isn't culpable for his sins because his wife isn't doing enough to satisfy his needs. If you want to argue she was an accomplice after the fact, fine; keep "wife" out of it.

    Read the article - it outlines several serious allegations including Rape.

    also, the only reason we know about Monica is because it came out during a sexual harassment trial.

    And of course there's the fact that Bill Clinton wasn't ever shown to be a rapist, and there was very little credible evidence to show that he was a rapist.

    The same can be said of Donald Trump. I haven't really seen anything showing he was a rapist.

    Both men are sexual harassers, and Trump has admitted/bragged about sexually assaulting women.

    Hillary, however, has zero evidence showing that she's done any of that. So why should she be held accountable for something her husband did?

    I didn't vote for Hillary, so I'm not a Hillary hugger. But what I find lacking in logic is the idea that she should be punished for her husband's sexual transgressions.

    That's only true for Hillary if she helped Bill harass/rape.

    If you all can throw on the blinders, why then should "the other side" not do so?

    Why to be the bigger person.

    This is the oldest one that we have heard and it's 1 decade ago, not "decades." He was 80. I actually met George Bush that year (maybe a few months later) and he took a picture with both me and my wife. I remember thinking at the time that he wasn't all there and he made some weird quip about my wife not being able to figure out her phone. Not weird as in creepy just weird as in it didn't make sense.

    If allegations come out from "decades" ago I'll be more concerned about him. Right now this all reads like an old man suffering from mental degradation.

    The time to condemn Bill was years ago.

    *shrug*
    I honestly never heard this before:
    "Juanita Broaddrick reported that when she was a volunteer on one of his gubernatorial campaigns, she had arranged to meet him in a hotel coffee shop. At the last minute, he had changed the location to her room in the hotel, where she says he very violently raped her."

    11/14-

    •Child molester running for Senate (still leading in polls)
    •AG defending purgery and treason
    •GOP trying to take away healthcare from millions and give tax cuts to the 1%
    •mass shooting at a school
    •Don Jr colluding with Assange

    Seems like a great day to talk about Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades

    There is something inherently disturbing when blaming the wife for a husband's sexual misconduct.

    Do you beat your wife?

    It's kinda disturbing when you can't tell the difference between a elderly endering embrace vs sexual advances.

    Joe Biden has no history of allegations towards him. Stop smearing someone just because he has a (D) in front of his name.

    After admitting not ever hearing about juanita's claims.

    If highlighting facts and legitimate differences is throwing on blinders, then you've got some strange definitions of blinders.

    Your post is one of the most bizarre nonsensical things I've ever seen. You think blaming the wife for Bill's sexual transgressions is being the bigger person.
