This week Donald Trump pulled off yet another remarkable political feat: While several of his rivals have tried and failed to turn Bill Clinton's decades-old sex scandals into a 2016 campaign issue, Trump is actually making it happen. After his complaint about Hillary calling him "ISIS's best recruiter" morphed into a debate about sexism just before Christmas, Trump changed the conversation again, tweeting on Monday "If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!" Tuesday on the Today show, he added, "there certainly were a lot of abuse of women, you look at whether it's Monica Lewinsky or Paula Jones, or any of them, and that certainly will be fair game."
Now with the former president set to begin campaigning for his wife in New Hampshire on Monday, other Republican candidates, including Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson, are joining in the discussion of Clinton's past sexual improprieties. The question now is whether their attacks on Bill Clinton can damage his wife's campaign, while years ago they only boosted the first lady's popularity.

A Wall Street Journal opinion piece echoed her [Ruth Marcus in WaPo] point, saying President Clinton "was a genuine sexual harasser in the classic definition of exploiting his power as a workplace superior, and the Clinton entourage worked hard to smear and discredit his many women accusers." It goes on to recount how Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal, who remains a friend of the couple, smeared Monica Lewinsky, and says this reflects on the "standards that would prevail in another Clinton Presidency."

Clinton is older now.
He was sort of impervious when he was younger, because women were standing by him throughout. It was sort of infuriating as a guy, to watch, but he was completely impervious.
Not any more, I believe. He’s older now, more vulnerable.
Just saying.
In a SANE America, his rapings would have him in PRISON.....and he’s the most admired DEMOCRAT!! figures.
Trump goes over this at around 5:00 in the video on this thread;
Trump: Today Hillary Gave A Speech And Didn’t Mention Me Or Sexism, “I Wonder Why?”

It’s great!
Especially with younger voters. They don't remember much about Clinton's Presidency, but they do remember hillary's disaster as Secretary of State. The combination...hillary did a terrible job as Secretary of State, and as First Lady she chose to be First Enabler.
What a resume!
The recent arrest of Bill Cosby certainly does not help the Clintons. It shows even “old news” can be criminal.
The main stream media lied, down played and covered up the crimes committed by both Clintons which is why so many do not really know their history.
Trump is bringing it all forward.
I was watching FOX News at 6:00 last night and when Kristin Powers was pontificating about the evil Bill Cosby, I thought she was talking about slick willy.
The fact that hildabutchbitch was both a rapist enabler as well as victim destroyer is going to come back to haunt this kankled, old, snarly, cave dry, lesbo, knarly-toed, ugly, nasty, kranky, liar.
Of course it can, it shows what a damned hypocrite she is
Anyone who doesn’t think that Hillary knew all about what was going on and held onto the proximity to and trappings of power by waging her own little ‘war on women’ is sadly delusional.
Hey! Just go ahead and tell us how you really feel. It isn’t healthy to keep things bottled up like that. Just let it all hang out./ 😂
Possibly, but the American people despite the 2008 primaries do believe nearly everything Mrs. Bill says.
Love the way the media looks at an issue from the angle of,will it hurt Hillary,not from the angle Hillary is a lying hypocrite.
If it hurts Hillary don’t report it.Gonna have a problem with Bill Cosby case,with all this Black lives matter bs lately,if you don’t think of the rapist bubba when you hear about that you are brain dead
Yes, many do not know the clintoid history, and won’t believe whatever might be brought up for discussion. But Trump seems fearless thus far.
Clinton also used to have the weight of the machine backing him up. Not the case anymore and the civil war on the left may have damaged them enough for a takedown.
OTOH, in the end, obama does not want to have a Trump/Cruz team running and pursuing investigations and prosecutions.
This story was on ABC news last night, I was shocked to see it.

Yes it will destroy her but ONLY if Trump makes the argument. The media will simply ignore the attacks on Bill the rapist as “old news” if “Surging Ted” is the nominee. Those who think otherwise should read some old newspapers and see what happened to Mittens when he mer ely spoke the truth about the 47% or Scumbag Harry insisted he hadn’t paid his taxes for ten years.
Trump owns the media and is the only one who can nuke Granny with stories of “Bill The Rapist” he tells to voters who were too young to remember them and have been lied to since.
