2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe media needs to point a few things out re: Gennifer Flowers...
if she actually shows up for the debate:
1) She has nothing to do with Hillary
2) She is Bill Clinton's mess
3) Bill Clinton is not running for president
4) What kind of man flaunts the alleged mistress in public to hurt or belittle the wronged wife?
Frankly, I think using Gennifer Flowers is tacky and I think a lot of people--particularly women--will agree.

(1,493 posts)The best thing Hillary could do is to address it obliquely by saying something like: "I want to thank everyone, and I mean everyone who is here today at the Hoefstra auditorium".... 'nuf said..

(17,055 posts)she would also appear tacky. I doubt she will fall for such a stunt.
But Hillary will remain classy no matter what shit the lowlife republicans try to pull.

They have no business spending ANY time discussing Flowers.
It's sickening!

(52,277 posts)Trump wearing a t-shirt with his own picture on it would be "tacky".
Parading the mistress in front of a cuckquean woman is obnoxious as hell.
And just to be clear, that's exactly why trump is doing it. Cuban is a big donor, supporter, and surrogate for Hillary. He has a completely legitimate reason for being there. Flowers does not.

(2,056 posts)"Donald is apparently under the impression that I am easily upset when provoked. In a feeble attempt to demonstrate that he tried to bring a completely irrelevant person into this debate. Fortunately at least one of us is aware that this is not a reality tv show. Leading this incredible country is a job that must be taken seriously. Mr. Trump needs to be reminded that this it not Aspen and I'm not the one on this stage that is prone to reacting poorly to provocation."

(2,149 posts)You' re right, Hillary didn't start this mess. She has received flack because she says abused women deserve a voice, yet these women were harmed by the verbal treatment of the Clinton people. I think it was wrong but will vote for Hilary over Trump.

(798 posts)Flowers is a big deal. This might backfire on Trump in a big way. Hillary may already have the women's vote; this sleezy, classless move by Trump could generate sympathy for Hillary - ESPECIALLY among women.
