The Jeffrey Epstein Affair Imperils Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Prospects
observer.com ^ | March 25,2015 | Ken Silverstein |

Why is no one in the D.C. political class and media bubble talking about the Jeffrey Epstein affair? Well, it’s not true that they’re not talking about it at all; they’re just not (for the most part) talking about it honestly or asking the right questions. And the right questions are:

Exactly how tight is the friendship between former President and potential future first gentleman Bill Clinton and Mr. Epstein, who owns a private island in Florida and is now accused of having sex with girls as young as 12 and procuring young girls for sex with other friends of his? What was Bill Clinton doing on the island with Mr. Epstein on multiple occasions and why did he fly overseas on Mr. Epstein’s plane at least 10 time

Actually, I still might not vote for Hillary Clinton if she becomes the nominee, but I probably will if my college-age daughter asks me. Even though I don’t think she likes Ms. Clinton all that much—and I expect she likes her husband less—she is appalled and outraged by the GOP’s stone age social politics and because she would like to see a woman become president. And that’s a good enough reason for me. Maybe.

This is why the Epstein affair is a national disgrace and shines a bright light on the current tragedy of American democracy and this country’s abysmal national political and media elites.

If the Huma affair, and the Benghazi affair, and the Whitewater affair, and the commodities affair, and the Vince Foster affair haven’t stopped her, why should the Jeffrey Epstein affair? She’ll just play the wounded woman, and also not feature Bill prominently as co-president in her stump speeches.

Oh puh-leaze.

Slick Willie was re-elected and had high poll numbers even though it was a known fact he was a sleaze.

Fast forward 20 years - nothing has changed. He’s still a sleaze.

And this will affect Hillary how? If anything it will improve her chances.

Well, empty-headed voters like your daughter and you wanted to see a half-black, muslim, homosexual become president. How did that turn out?

Nothing “imperils” her prospects like a debate with Ted Cruz would. Nothing! Two men enter one man leave.

And the left accuses conservatives of lacking principles!

****she would like to see a woman become president. And that’s a good enough reason for me. Maybe.*****

So.... the question is - why didn’t she vote for a woman vice-President when Sara Palin was the candidate.

Eligibility to vote should include a photo ID and an IQ test.

Well she can definitely count on the most solid part of the Dem base to flock to the polls in her support...
