[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came of age at a time when I was told that perjury over a BJ was no big deal. That personal conduct could be separated from professional conduct in the role of the president.

Then you read about what Saint JFK was up to and other historical stars of the left and the right … and I guess I internalized those lessons that private conduct is separate from the presidency.   I mean Hillary Clinton stayed married to at best a sexual abuser and at worst to someone that grabbing women by… and she did it for political expediency.  HRC was out there defending a sexual predator while dismissing his victims as being part of some vast right wing conspiracy.  Yes, Trump’s private conduct was much worse than that of HRC, but if decency and good behavior matters then we should have all been disgusted by HRC.

The whole “disqualified” line of attack annoyed me and pushed me more right. Someone who perjured himself, even if only about sex, should also have “disqualified” himself from the presidency, but as a teenager I was told that didn’t matter.  I’m not saying you will agree with me or accept this, OP.   I’m just answering your question. [/quote]

I have never heard a democrat defend Clinton. He was in his second term when the Lewinsky scandal broke. Yes, there were other allegations before that, but this is the one that was irrefutable at the time. It did change our opinion of him. DocI think he did a great job as president? Yes. Do I think he was a good person? No. If given the chance, would I have voted for him again? No.

I was not alive during JFK’s time so I can’t speak much to that. Information obviously did not travel as well during that time, and I assume most people just brushed it off as rumors. I don’t know anyone other than boomers who admire him as a person. Just like Clinton, knowing what we now know, I wouldn’t vote for him.

You can’t be serious about blaming Hillary for Bill’s affair. That is victim blaming at its finest. We don’t know the details of their private life leading up to that or after. We don’t know how or why they worked things out and stayed together. Lots of people end up staying together after an affair. Do you despise all of those couples as well? [/quote]

You can’t be serious about absolving Hillary of blame for how she smeared her husband’s accusers?[/quote]

I can. She was the cheated on spouse. And of course was pissed and lashed out. This happens ALL THE TIME in this situation and she's no different. But you already know this. [/quote]
