I am sick and tired of people comparing Bill’s consensual affairs to Trump/Kabanaugh/etc sexual assault! NOT THE SAME THING!

Bill had affairs. We get it. We know. Hillary did not have nice things to say about those women. Why would she? They slept with her husband. I wouldn’t have nice things to say either. I just heard the Ninja Warrior guy on Megan Kelly say this is victim blaming. No. They weren’t victims. They were sleeping with a married man. We know that Bill has no moral high ground to stand on after all that. WE KNOW! If given the chance, I wouldn’t have voted for him after that. The dems use him sparingly on the campaign trail because of that. Ever wonder why this successful two term president who also happens to be a phenomenal speaker is rarely utilized on the campaign trail? Even his wife’s? Obviously, an affair is a marrital issue. They seem to have worked it out. It’s over. Republicans need to get over it.

Trump, Kavanaugh, Moore, and countless other Rs are accused of SEXUAL ASSAULT! Not the same as consensual affairs. Trump blatantly admiited to assaulting married women and Rs don’t care! Yet, they simultaneously clutch their pearls over Clintons affairs decades ago! Yes, Trump also had consensual affairs. Nobody is shocked. His own wife said she’s not concerned about it. It’s the cover up that will eventually bring him down. Just like it was Clinton’s cover up that caused the Rs to impeach him but they could care less about Trumps.

The hypocrisy is unbelievable, and the more you guys bring up Bill’s affairs, the more your hypocrisy stands out.

A President isn't a CEO

He certainly should have known better than to involve himself with a damn intern. And there was a power imbalance between them which was absolutely inappropriate.

But, I to this day cannot get out of my head that Monica flashed her thong at him in the West Wing. What in the world possessed her to do such a thing?

This was not your standard case of harassment or abuse of power. She wasn't in the relationship because she thought she'd lose her job if she didn't. She, by her own admission, initiated it.

Look, he was and still is a dog. And he absolutely should NOT have been screwing an intern. I never will think that any of this was impeachable - just a huge betrayal of their marriage AND a terrible lapse of judgement (ok, lapse isn't the right term since it was ongoing, but still).

He really should 20 years later be more contrite and absolutely should have apologized to Monica.

If a married executive has an affair with a 20 something willing staffer he will usually be terminated for inappropriate behavior.

WRONG. It's the utter hypocrisy of Hillary and left-wing admirers always finding excuses for his behavior.

The only shocker is Hillary putting up with Bill's constant sick behavior.

All of her husband's assault victims were adults.

But, Hillary has proved clueless on a lot of things, so that is no surprise.

I am 08:21. There are a lot of women who did not behave as Lewinsky did. An abuse of power, to me, would be Lewinsky feeling as if she had no choice but to engage in sexual relations with Clinton, for fear of some heavy repercussion. In fact, we know that was not the case.

Weinstein engaged in abuse of power, i.e. sex for movie roles with the threat of 'you'll never work again in this town if you don't comply'.

Hillary Clinton doesn’t appear to understand “abuse of power.” Her being an adult has nothing to do with it.

As a conservative, I agree here, especially since Lewinsky was quite clear that she knew what she was doing and why.

She was.

“She was an adult,” Clinton said, before quickly turning the conversation to President Trump.
