You could hear it in her voice. Hosting Meet the Press on Sunday, NBC's Andrea Mitchell was clearly exasperated by Donald Trump daring to warn Hillary Clinton he would raise Bill Clinton's "penchant for sexism" if he campaigns for her. Mitchell was so annoyed by it that she brought it up during three segments. -
First, with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, she let out a loud sigh in highlighting Trump "attacking" Bill Clinton: "Are we going to get into an argument not only of sexism between Donald Trump and Bill Clinton but, eh, Donald Trump attacking Bill Clinton?"
Second, with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Mitchell raised her voice on the name "Bill Clinton" as she cited "this new attack" that Trump "has unleashed on Twitter against Bill Clinton campaigning for Hillary Clinton more actively in January?"
Third, an incensed Mitchell set up a panel segment: "What about Donald Trump? Going after Hillary Clinton, going after Bill Clinton? Does this work for him?"

‘Cuse me? And what are Trump’s infidelities other than what is already regarding his divorce? Where are the Bill Cosby ladies?
Then Trump had better get religion.
A history like that would give me pause.
How many women has Trump raped?
Probably not, must be love. I am sure she still treasures her William Clinton Memorial Knee Pads, ala Nina Burleigh.
Well he was schlonging Marla Maples while married to Ivana, and schlonging Melania while married to Marla, so he isn't the poster boy for fidelity. I'm sure Hillary's campaign can dig up others. The point is that accusing someone else of sexism is not a battle Trump can win. Taxes, foreign policy, government spending, those are areas where Clinton is weak. And time spent in a twitter war on who is the bigger pig towards women, Bill Clinton or him, is time not spent on attacking her on the issues.
None that I'm aware of. But Trump isn't accusing Clinton of rape, he's accusing him of being sexist. A true pot-calling-the-kettle-black moment if ever there was one. And how is this going to do anything but make Hillary look like the victim? Again?
——Trump can’t bring up anything that hasn’t been brought up before.——
reiteration is and will be successful to indicate to those < 45 or 50, that Bill Clinton is a scandalous impeached SOB
America doesn’t need an impeached president walking the halls of the White House.
hundreds of thousands that worshipped him are dead
Well, he ended up marrying those women. Not condoning it, but I think Trump follows the rule that you don’t flirt unless you’re willing to go all the way.
He’s been in the lime light for over 40 years. Where are the Bill Cosby women, the Clinton sexcapades, the bimbos? Funny isn’t it? Not one bimbo all these years coming forth to denounce Trump?
The man is not perfect, but he’s perfect enough for me, and I’m not ashamed to say so.
“Trump can’t bring up anything that hasn’t been brought up before.”
Nope, sorry. NOTHING has been brought up. When Dole ran with Kemp in 1996, Kemp’s opening statement in his one VP debate was that he (Kemp) WOULD NOT get near Bill Clinton’s personal life. Al Gore thanked him for that, trounced him in the debate, and him and Clinton coasted on to re-election.
Other candidates might look desperate bringing up Bill Clinton’s past...Trump will do it in a way that crushes Clinton like an ant.
...and by the way, I doubt more than 1% of the country knows that Bill Clinton physically RAPED Juanita Broderick - there is a BOATLOAD of upside for Trump here.
If Hillary comes after him regarding this “war on women” I assure you he’s not going to think twice about going after her thru her husband. Right or wrong, he’s not that kind of person.
It is most enjoyable.
Newt was good at making the media squirm.
Trump makes them want to head for the shelters.
LOL
Didn't seem to bother most people when he was president.
So, the Hillary camp takes the bait and goes after Trump’s various infidelities, then Trump doubles down with the rape accusations and Hillary’s Bimbo Eruption Unit.
I don’t know where that would lead, but it might be a lot of fun!
“When is Trump going to bring that up?”
Probably when it is confirmed and proven to be true.
Trump wasn't a monk. I doubt he married every woman he cheated on a spouse with.
The man is not perfect, but he's perfect enough for me, and I'm not ashamed to say so.
To each their own. You can stick with Trump and I'll stick with Ted Cruz and the win.
Nice job equating marital infidelity with sexual assault. Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick were not participants in infidelities. They were victims of crime, you dolt.
An even bigger and better target is chelsea who is now playing fast and loose with donations to the clinton massage parlor and whorehouse with foreign donors giving her millions for who knows what.
Ted Cruz’s time will come, and he knows that. We need a big broom to sweep out the stench. Cruz can’t do it alone because too many people on the other side won’t support him. He’s a good man, probably over all the best man running, but he’s not the man. Trump is. Trump can field the slings and arrows, Cruz can’t.
Sorry, I’m 100% for Trump. Would love some day to see a president Cruz, but not now.
I’d like to see us all rally around one person soon.
I’m calling this preemptive subterfuge by Trump. Before Hellary, DNC and their lapdog media go on attack they will be a little flummoxed on the methods of what will or won’t work against Trump. He’s good at throwing monkey wrenches into their virtual spinning lie machine. Gunk up the works a bit.
I don’t think Trump should go after Bill. I think it is a distraction and makes Trump look mean. What Trump should do is go after Hillary and how she demonstrated how weak she really is. Compare how she let Bill walk all over her and that is what our enemies will do knowing that running away is part of her DNA.
The Clinton’s know Trump is going after Bill. They game planned this out, brought their allies in the Media on board and already have an answer to it. This is why Trump shouldn’t take the bait and instead should bypass Bill entirely.
Once the media goes into overdrive trying to tie Trump’s comments to Bill, it then becomes Trump’s game.
