What is Trump thinking on 'rape' and Bill Clinton?
Washington Examiner ^ | May 22, 2016 | W. James Antle III

Posted on 05/22/2016 3:49:24 AM PDT by Zakeet

Donald Trump went there. The presumptive Republican nominee brought up allegations that former President Bill Clinton committed rape in an interview with Sean Hannity - but why?

Anyone who lived through the 1990s remembers that whenever Republicans bring up Clinton's sex life, it is usually the Republicans who lose. And Bill isn't the candidate this time around. His wife is.

That's why so much controversy surrounded Trump's decision to lob this bombshell.

The MSM claims that the Trumpster is Clinton-bashing in order to "bond with the Right, which has been reluctant to fully embrace his unconventional candidacy" ... and they wish that you Freepers would quit taking the bait!

There are some things that simply need to be said out loud because few have the courage to say them.

That Clinton is a rapist is one of them.

The MSM is just pissed that they cannot protect the Clintons from Trump.

I want to see a President Trump do after the MSM.

Clinton left office in 2000. That's 16 years ago. Younger voters need to be educated about just what a derelict Bill is, and that hillary was complicit. They need a history lesson about how far back Bill's bad behavior goes.

If Trump does it right, folks will be comparing the Clintons to the Cosbys!

What Trump is saying is called “The Truth.” The media that have covered this up for years now are embarrassed and shocked, and the worthless GOPe are a bunch of cowards.

That Clinton, Bill is the raper, and Hillary was the Rape Enabling Organizer who hired thugs to silence their victims should be shouted from the roof tops!

If republicans were more forceful confronting the Clintons about the rape, abuses and enabling 20 years ago it would have prevented the democratic meme on the Republican War on Woman from ever getting off the ground and probably would have retained at least the House during Obama's first 2 years and stopped at Obamacare and his crony capitalism.

If Trump doesn't win he at least showed the way to push back against the democrats.

"whenever Republicans bring up Clinton's sex life"

-Rape is not sex. Rape is violence... Where the "Washington Examiner" is talking about sex, Trump is talking about violence... Trump is bringing up "Clinton's violence life" and how Hillary tried to destroy the women that talked about the Clinton violence.

We on the right have unfinished business with the Clinton cabal and now is the time to finish what Trent Lott and the rest of the cowards in the senate refused to do in 1998!!!

Rape and sexual assault are not part of one's sex life.

More dishonest spin, trying to equate rape with an affair.

IMO ... Hillary was never running for the presidency

The entire Democrat party has been absent this entire election cycle ... it has been Republicans all the time 24/7

The cankled one is being protected for the show of a democrat candidate that they're realizing now might have been better off with Jim Webb



imo

Anybody who listens to what he says knows “why” he went there. Hillary claimed that Trump holds women in less regard than he holds men. She “hit.” So, he “hit back,” and the allegation of Bill Clinton rape are a necessary predicate to the claim that Hillary treated these women badly as she protected her husband.

Yes!

I've seen this sleight of hand pulled in a number of reports, including Fox News. I've pointed out several over the last few days.

See my recent posting history for these examples.

Thx.

...back then Lindsay Graham was a member of the house that voted to impeach the lying rapist for perjury.

That’s when every thing was normal to a point and went south from there.

The Lott led senate sold the American public out for a few pieces of silver and will forever be held in contempt by the true believers in justice.

AMEN--Clinton left office in 2000.....16 years ago. Younger voters need to
know what a derelict Bill is, and that Hillary was complicit. Trump is
giving a much-needed history lesson about Bill's bad behavior.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of
the VRWC." Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.

One Clinton lies and the other swears to it. Anymore of the phony
Clinton solidarity and I'll puke. Their act is getting s-o-o-o dam old.

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

Anymore of the phony Clinton solidarity
and I'll puke. That act is getting s-o-o-o dam old.

Pres Clinton was a tax-paid employee using tax -paid offices .....
but the sucker claimed it was his business what he did there (groan).

1) Takes away Bill as a campaign device to show a warm and human side, offsetting Hillary’s cold and robotic personality.

2) Puts Hillary on the wrong side of the war on women theme the Dems always push at campaign time.

Calling Bill a rapist and Hillary an enabler is brilliant. Everyone pretty much knows it’s true, but the liberal media won’t speak it. Now the MSM is in the position of defending a rapist and it’s taken the war on women narrative away from them and Hillary at the same time.

If you come up with one, answer for me why this election cycle has been so devoid of democrat activity/exposure

In the beginning, the five or six candidates were quickly whittled down to two ... one lunatic old man with no chance of garnering a following and the queen enabler ... who has been incapable of identifying herself or categorizing her positions consistently .. a total joke of a presidential candidate

Ross Perot at least made sense ... hell, even Ralph Nader could cobble together a reasonable coalition
