Bill Clinton is not running for President. Donald Trump is.

Bill Clinton was impeached by a partisan Congress almost two decades ago. Hillary Clinton was not impeached and she was not charged.

It is the height of sexism to try and paint the spouse with the sins of her husband. What wife would not try to defend the husband that she loves?

Some people, mostly Trump supporters, seem to be having difficulty separating the deeds of Bill Clinton from those of his wife? You simply cannot lay the blame for Bill's transgressions at the feet of Hillary Clinton. She is running for President on her own merits - not those of her husband.

It seems too obvious to need to point this out. Bill Clinton is not running for President. Hillary is running. And Donald Trump is running.

The sexism and the hypocrisy is damning.

Fugg 'em! They're going down. They want power so badly that they are self-destructing. They believe nothing except money and power.

Fox's role in that entire mess must never be underestimated. It was Ailes payback for his beloved twisted Nixon

I am much annoyed by those idiots who use her husband's possible mistakes to tar and feather someone who is where she is on her own merits.

The Senate with much cooler heads at the time, reused to convict and he served his full term.


He was not convicted of sexual affairs, but for lying to Congress about those affairs. It was then as it is now a which hunt.
