NEW YORK (AP) -- Donald Trump says he took the moral high ground at the first presidential debate by not mentioning the infidelities of former President Bill Clinton. But he hinted at them, talked about them immediately afterward and then sent his campaign's top backers out to do the same.

"An impeachment for lying," Trump said Thursday at a campaign rally in New Hampshire, referring to the effort to remove Bill Clinton from office for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. "Remember that? Impeach."

The Republican nominee's decision to dredge up the former president's sexual history is a risky move in his campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton, whose own team isn't fazed by the attack line.

Well, yahoo news if liberal news media had reported on Clinton’s assaults Trump wouldn’t have to mention it. But they didn’t so he does.

I agree. Seems most of the public doesn’t hold these accusations against Bill very much.

He can’t go after Bill. He has to go after Hillary. Say that she enabled him. Says she claims to be for women but enables a husband to keep raping and abusing women.

Bill Clinton lied under oath in federal court and was disbarred for life for perjury.

Lying under oath is NEVER acceptable and the fact Bubba lied about sex still doesn’t make perjury OK.

The fact remains that he deprived an innocent party of their day in court by his actions. Time to set the record straight.

Clinton was First Impeached because he broke the law he was sworn to faithfully uphold - not because he had an affair.

That defense is a complete sideshow and Hillary’s toleration of it goes to her character. That’s a legitimate issue.

He should create a new ad using the tape of Hillary laughing about getting the rapist of a 12 year old girl off the hook...

Show a bunch of kids at a play ground, then start fading in/out missing kids posters over the playground all while playing her cackling...
