Related: About this forumThe presence of Gennifer Flowers at the debate only matters if Hillary lets it matter
Gennifer Flowers was a news item in 1992.
Let's suppose most voters under 44 today, who were under 20 in 1992, don't know who Gennifer Flowers is.
I downloaded a spreadsheet of U.S. Census bureau voter data from
http://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/tables/p20/577/table01.xls
Here's data from the spreadsheet (spreadsheet has results in thousands so I've added the missing 3 zeros)
Data are from the "Reported Voted" column
..18 to 24 years 4,721.000
..25 to 34 years 10,223,000
..35 to 44 years 12,986,000

..75 years up 10,471,000

So there are about 28 million voters 44 and under, that is, close to about 1/3 of the voters, voters who probably don't know who Gennifer Flowers is.
Of the remaining 2/3, many have forgotten or won't care. And lot's of people who do remember will just think tRump is even more of a scumbag for bringing her to the debate.
So I think if Hillary behaves as if it's a non-event it will be a non-event for everyone but the deplorables.

(798 posts)inviting Flowers could backfire on Trump in a big way by generating sympathy for Hillary, especially from women.

(7,178 posts)Remember the 11 hours! Remember her mother's words of wisdom when it came to bullies. Go back out there!
She knows how to treat Heads of State from all over the world! Good, bad & ugly!
She is wiser than people think. She also has lots of support from lifelong friends. SHE IS THE ADULT IN THAT STAGE!
She is not stuck in Trump's little world. Her world is wide and high!
