It must stop now: The media can’t allow Trump to make this election about Bill Clinton
SALON ^ | May 24, 2016 | Sean Illing

Posted on 05/24/2016 9:25:53 AM PDT by McGruff

Donald Trump has fired his first shots of the general election campaign. Predictably, they have nothing to do with anything that matters. In a new video released on Instagram, Trump features audio interviews with women who’ve accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. Against the backdrop of shadowy audio clips, the accompanying text asks if Hillary Clinton is “really protecting women.”

We hear the voices of Monica Lewinsky, Kathleen Wiley, and a clip from a 1999 Dateline interview with Juanita Broaddrick. Near the end, as the sound of Hillary Clinton’s cackle fades, the words “Here we go again” flash on the screen.

I’m no great defender of Bill Clinton. He was a competent president and did a lot of things well, but he’s also received a pass from Democrats on a number of fronts. The triangulating, the serial lying, the capitulations to white Southerners – it was all transparent and nauseating. But here’s the thing: Bill Clinton isn’t running for president, and what he did with his penis 30 years ago is irrelevant.

These people dont get it, its not per se what Bill did, its what HILLARY did AGAINST these women to defend Bill. So this is all about Hillary.

Too bad Salon. Hillary’s dead and dull campaigning has her to attempting to use Bill to add life to her party. If you take that away from her, what will she have to use against Bernie? She can’t have her cake and eat it too. If she’s going to try to use Bill to gain energy, she’s going to get all the baggage he carries and all the bad things she did to enable him.

Mr. Trump, what is best in life?

Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women media.

Trump fired back and by implication Hillary condoned “Ole Bill’s” womanizing sexual assault and rape.

Fixed

So let’s leave Bubba out of it for a few shall we.

Let’s talk about Hillary promoting the Sexual Harrassment Mandates Bubba’s administration signed and how she refused to acknowledge Bubba playing hide the cigar with an Intern violated that Policy that would get most all other Federal Employees fired.

Let’s talk about Hillary’s role in keeping Capital Police from accessing Vince Foster’s office files until Hillary and Co. could clean it out the same night Foster “killed Himself”.

Let’s talk about those pesky Rose Law Firm Billing records that disappeared until the Day after the Statute of Limitations passed then miraculously showed up on Hillary’s desk WITH her fingerprints all over them.

Let’s talk about who ordered those 1100 Raw FBI files to be handed to Hillary who then used them to destroy and extort sitting Members of the US Senate and H.O.R. Let’s find out what happened to those records.

Let’s talk about Hillary’s role in Hillarycare and her illegal meetings behind closed doors to push it.

Let’s talk about why Hillary was removed from the House Committee Investigating and Prosecuting Nixon for Watergate...

Let’s talk about Hillary approaching Juannita Broadrick AFTER Bubba raped her and what message she was sending to her.

Let’s talk about Hillary’s theft of US Government Property when her and Bubba left the Whitehouse.

Bubba? He’s just a stain on History and the Oval Office carpet at this point...

Trump is playing multi-dimensional chess, and the rest of them are playing in their sandboxes. :)

If this cr@p is any indication, it's the cat box, not the sandbox.

Don't forget that she ordered the records of the Health Care Task Force to be shredded, in violation of a court order that they be disclosed to the public. She was fined ($400k, IIRC) for contempt for that, and then she stuck the taxpayers with the bill.

Did we miss Sean Illing’s plaintive plea to the New York Times NOT to go into Trump's past?

I'm sure he wrote about that... right?

Or does Sean Illing think attacks only count IF they come from the candidate rather than from Hillary's opposition research teams - fed to Hillary's connections in the liberal elite press - by Hillary?

What a superficial gullible fool.

Okay, I'll play along. So, if we take marrying Bill Clinton off Hillary's list of accomplishments, what's left to discuss? [crickets....crickets....]

That has never been the function of the press. The press exists to present political information that the owners and reporters want to show.

The press has, to my knowledge, never been unpolitical.

Trump almost sounds like FR at times. Anyone here think if someone comes up with a good turn of phrase or idea he wouldn’t use it? Now compare what McLame or Mittens thought of us. We were the crazies to them and their campaigns probably dismissed us out of hand. What a waste of a precious resource this website represents.

It’s not about Bill. It’s about his enabler-in-chief.

they have nothing to do with anything that matters?

Since when? Hillary is basing her entire campaign on her gender. It seems to me that her history of enabling a sexual predator and harassing his victims ought to be part of the story.

This is sort of like denouncing the Swift Boat Veterans who told the truth about John Kerry after he decided to make his military service the centerpiece of his campaign, isn't it?

Should we need to dredge up whether the demonrats will nominate a murderess for president?

“what he did with his penis 30 years ago is irrelevant.”

That was never more than a diversion to keep attention off his real crimes. And it’s still working.
