This will help Hillary, which is why they are allowing it to go public.
Every woman out there who had slept around and/or been cheated on by her husband will relate to her.
And most importantly, they need something to titillate the tabloids to distract from something else that is much more damaging.

I actually think it is the opposite.
If there is a defining characteristic of the LIVs, it is that they strain at gnats and swallow camels. Hillary! will never go down because of Benghazi, but she could be brought down by being Hubbell's baby momma--that's the kind of faux pas that the LIVs understand.
Well said!
...Well, except that SHE would have been the one sleeping around. And, with someone else’s husband. Most women don’t take that well.
If true, it doesn’t help. (She lied about Chelsea, she lied about Benghazi....she’s nothing but one BIG lie, after another.)
The Clintoons will likely use this to distract and distort, otherwise. More of “the vast right-wing media” attacks on her and her family, doncha know.
When a story can go either way, Clinton Inc will find a way to use it to their advantage. They’re masters at that game.
