Sanders surrogate brings up Monica Lewinsky in attack on Clinton

[SillyAmerican]

One annoying thing about Trump winning the nom will be that we'll have to re-litigate this tedious bullsh**t from 20 years ago

This is a broader point that many people are missing, yes. While it's idiotic for this to come up during the primary, it's not actually going to do any real damage to her that wouldn't be done otherwise. It's going to be everywhere in the general, and it's going to be there whether Trump is the nominee or not (do people think non-Trump candidates won't drag all of it up?).

Yup. Hillary should really figure out how to address this head on, 'cuz despite what she'd like to see happen, this is not going to go away.

clinton's actions w/r/t her husband's long history of rape and abuse are absolutely a relevant issue to her qualifications as president. it's disgraceful that some of you expect people to ignore serious moral failures just because they happen to have been committed by a member of their own party.

But did he actually rape anyone or is this just accusations of a powerful political figure? Personally I don't buy into that crap unless there is proof, or some sort of Cosby-like situation.

Come on. What Bill Clinton did would get any CEO in the country canned immediately. Period. As a person in charge and dealing with a young intern, you simply don't put yourself in that position. Most people understand this. And Bill and Hillary would have been more than happy to throw Ms. Lewinsky under the bus and let the press wolves have at her; she would have been ripped to shreds were it not for her being able to produce a particular blue dress. (So apparently what she was saying wasn't crap, because there was proof. Happy now?)
