1) Clinton's pro-abortion and welfare policies appealed more to single women and 2) Clinton was younger and had more sex appeal.
This monstrosity Bill Clinton signed NAFTA, let illegals reach critical mass, signed “free trade” deal with China. And committed a thousand other crimes that have put the U.S. in the hole it is now.
I hate that democrat/marxist Bill Clinton. And Obama continues this democrat destruction of America set in motion by the POS Bill Clinton.
With Clinton they identified with the beautiful young mistress (Flowers) being pursued by the handsome and powerful, young, tall and virile man on the rise (in more ways than one). With Gingrich they identify with the ex-wife of the dirty old man with the sour expression. Clinton was a true enemy of women but he could get away with anything, including rape and excuses would be made. Gingrich is just an ordinary, fallible man but no excuses will be made for his behavior. Of course above all else is the fact that Clinton rides a jackass and acts like one while Gingrich rides an elephant and trumpets like one. The collection of clowns we laughingly refer to as the news media will do anything to make the jackass rider look good and they will do all in their power to make the elephant rider look bad, especially if he tells the truth about our corrupt system.
