It must stop now: The media can’t allow Trump to make this election about Bill Clinton
SALON ^ | May 24, 2016 | Sean Illing

Posted on 05/24/2016 9:25:53 AM PDT by McGruff

Donald Trump has fired his first shots of the general election campaign. Predictably, they have nothing to do with anything that matters. In a new video released on Instagram, Trump features audio interviews with women who’ve accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. Against the backdrop of shadowy audio clips, the accompanying text asks if Hillary Clinton is “really protecting women.”

We hear the voices of Monica Lewinsky, Kathleen Wiley, and a clip from a 1999 Dateline interview with Juanita Broaddrick. Near the end, as the sound of Hillary Clinton’s cackle fades, the words “Here we go again” flash on the screen.

I’m no great defender of Bill Clinton. He was a competent president and did a lot of things well, but he’s also received a pass from Democrats on a number of fronts. The triangulating, the serial lying, the capitulations to white Southerners – it was all transparent and nauseating. But here’s the thing: Bill Clinton isn’t running for president, and what he did with his penis 30 years ago is irrelevant.

Lefty Salon is crying out in agony.

It must stop now.

That's what McCain said when Michelle Bachmann exposed Hillary's Huma.

Hillary says she is going to protect women. Where was she when Bill was assaulting women on two continents(why didn’t he complete his studies at Oxford?) She can be questioned as to why she abused woman who were assaulted by Bill. Fair game.
Hope she has a good cut man in her corner. Apollo Creed never laid a hand on Rocky compared to what Trump will do to her.

I thought the press investigated and reported. It seems though they believe its their place to determine the outcome.

Trump can make this whatever he damn well pleases. Hillary has basically said that Bill is going to run the economy so he’s fair game. However, if I were Trump I would not concentrate on the sexual misconduct but upon Hillary’s role in this, being the enabler. Also, forget about Vince Foster. It’s a dead issue IMO. There is so much more to talk about, we don’t need to dredge up whether he committed suicide in Fort Marcy Park or not...

Hillary said she’s going to put Bubba in charge of the economy. In my book, he’s fair game now.

what he did with his penis 30 years ago is irrelevant.

However, how he and his wife acted when he was exposed
is as relevant today as it was then.

Lying under oath, etc.

Clinton?...Just say NO!

uhhh....Excuse me, YOUR candidate trotted him out and said that she'd put him in charge of the economy. Fair game!

Because Crooked Hillary! wasn’t a partner in most of those ill-conceived slam the accuser “defenses” that Bubba used in the 1990s.

Of course it is fair game. It’s sensationalist and gets ratings. The media should cover it in spades.

But I wouldn’t expect an effeminate beta boy writing for Salon to understand that.

Lol, the only thing better than Trump winning is watching the media crying about it.

Hillary opened that door when she said bill would be involved in her Presidency.

Sorry Salon but Hillary made that nest and she has to sit in it.

Do really really bad secretaries of state usually run for president? No! She is running on Bill’s name recognition, she has him campaign for her and she has said that she wants him to run the economy. Bill is fair game. If it’s not about Bill Clinton then Hillary has no business running.

Uhmmmmm, Trump didn't do that until Hillary announced he was going to run the economy! At least for his friends he will.

Hillary made this about Bill, not the Donald.

The media is like putty in the hands of the master Trump.

They’ll never fully comprehend what hit them this year.
