If you think this isn't going to upset MOST women, you are clueless.

It also exposes Anderson Cooper for the corporate tool he is. This shows that Trump will leave NOTHING off limits.

And the idiots would have us believe Bernie is hurting Clinton. Clinton's own actions are hurting Clinton.

Accusing a 12 year old of seeking the attention of older men and fantasizing about them while she indicates that she knew the defendant was guilty is

will be effective.

I voted for Bill Clinton twice and I was an early member of Move On from when "Move On" meant move on past the prosecutorial obsession with Bill Clinton's personal life transgressions. Trump will re-brand Bill Clinton as Bill Cosby in a slightly nicer sweater. It will be misleading bullshit, but it is coming and it will be effective.

Anyone who thinks Sanders has been anything but brotherly in the gentleness of his campaign against Hillary should be prepared to be shocked if we nominate Hillary.

Cosby's sweaters were amazing.

He has some outstanding sweaters.

Suggesting anyone has a "slightly nicer sweater" is not going to work. He may be one of the worst people imaginable, but his sweaters are unbeatable.

The general election will show Clinton getting a much higher percentage of women over Trump. Also a much higher percentage of people of color. I am not even convinced Trump can win a majority of white men.

This might make some women chose Bernie over Hillary, but it won't make many (if any) women chose Trump over Hillary. And if women sit out the election, my guess is it will almost always be over economics rather than this.

And Clinton will not get the minority vote that she needs. Trump will eat into that base.

Cruz @ 60%. Kasich @ 10%.

Cruz's conservative evangelical women voters aren't going to cross over and vote for Hillary. In fact, they're the ones most likely to crawl over broken glass to vote against Hillary.

Kasich's 10% or so moderates won't be Trump's breaking point.

I think it's foolish to believe Republican women will reject Trump. They'll "fall in line", especially if it means stopping Hillary.

And if he gets only 30% of the female Republican vote, that's a smaller amount than even I would expect. Wow.

Now that they're out, its wishful thinking Cruz’s female voters will vote for Hillary or sit the election out.

You can be sure that Warren is going to fight back against Trump, from Hillary's side.

One more example of how silly your wish, ooops, theory is.

She defended him vehemently and attacked the women who spoke out about their experiences with him.

I don't know what else you'd call that.

The allegations are definitely serious. Hillary minimized the allegations (hence, adventures) or flat out denied them - either way she portrayed her husband as a victim and demonized the women making the allegations.

I was an enabler for my ex for way too long, thank heavens I got away and became whole. Hillary decided to stay married to Bill and while I shouldn't judge her for that, I do know that continuing the charade takes it's toll. She has had to lie for him and continues to do so.
