Even though Donald Trump had already warned that Bill Clinton's past indiscretions would be "fair game" in the presidential race, the ex-president seemed surprised to face the issue as he began to take a prominent role in his wife's campaign.
Asked by ABC News if his past should be "fair game," Bill stammered for several seconds about how "the Republicans have to decide who they want to nominate" before declaring, "I think there's always attempts to take the election away from the people."
In other words - no real answer.
At a New Hampshire rally, Hillary dismissed a heckler who asked about previous sexual-assault claims against Bill by saying the questioner was "rude."
With far larger issues out there - jobs, terrorism, etc. - we'd rather the race not be dominated by talk of Bill's, uh, love life.
Yet Hillary Clinton has made "women's issues" central to her campaign. "I can't think of anything more of an outsider than electing the first woman president," she has said.
But today those issues very much include things like sexual assault and harassment, and how institutions should deal with such cases - major topics on college campuses right now.
So a campaign surrogate who also happens to be a former president impeached over his lying about an affair with a female subordinate will inevitably be "fair game" for the campaign trail.
As will asking about how one partner enables the other's misbehavior.
Indeed, it's shocking that neither Clinton seemed ready for questions on this front. You'd almost think they'd spent the last 16 years in deep denial.

I watched Trump this morning on Morning Joe and here is what the all of the establishment Politicians and The Clinton’s do not understand about him.
He is not going to play by the established rules of Political Conduct. Trump pretty much is a New York Street Fighter and he is playing by his rules and they are Street Rules.
Trump reminds me of the scene in “The Untouchables” where Jimmy Malone is trying to explain the Chicago Way.
“You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That’s* the *Chicago* way! And that’s how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I’m offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?”
Well for Trump this the New York way, you attack me, I destroy you. Notice the Clinton’s on Monday reluctant to say anything at all about Trump or even mention him by name.
This is a down and dirty New York street fight and these idiots have no idea how to handle this and won’t.
I know I keep saying it. IF the Senate had stood up to
the Clintons; stood with the House of Representatives
in trying to do the right thing . . IF . . then we would
not now still after all those years be dealing with
Hitlery toddling out to further harass us. Where were
all those great Senators back then; any still around?
How about Lindsey Grahamnesty, John McCain? The Clintons
are determined to take this country down with them at
the altar of Hitler-y.
Wasn’t it a known fact that he had that Canadian girlfriend these past few years? Some wealthy banker woman? Does anyone know what I am talking about?

True that young people were not around to experience the
Clintons. Considering a number of them have been exposed
to libtard, brainwashing college profs while others were
raised by parents who thought Slick Willie’s activities
were no big deal I think your point loses quite a bit of
sparkle. When it comes to Slickster the train has left
the station. The key is still what Hillary did to save
his career as opposed to the women’s rights campaign
she pedals to the voters today. She tried to ruin some
victimized women. The important point about Slick is
that he set in motion the dastardly things that Hillary
did to the women she described as bimbos.
I know that you and I agree on Bill and the rotten stuff
he did. However, we are part of the choir. The MSM
would love to make him the focus so Hillary will get
lost in the shuffle. Already the talking head libs are
avoiding talking about what Hildo did by telling us
how much Bill is loved by the peeps. Too much focus on
him and we’ll be out in the weeds on this issue.
Bill is the side issue, Hillary IS the issue.
“The Clintons are not “in denial.” They are just liars. “
+1
Hillary not only knew about Slick Willy’s extra-curricular behavior, she participated in it when they were younger. Big time partiers and swingers.
I read recently about a man who lived across the hall from Bill and Hillary. Bill might have been A.G. at the time. The guy heard noise, and opened his door. On the hall floor, naked and puking, was Hillary. Through their open door, the man saw Bill, naked, with two naked young women.
IIRC, this is in The Clintons’ War on Women, by Roger Stone.
The rational way to vote is to have convictions and opinions about public policy, and then seek the candidate who will do those things. The vast majority of voters do not have any opinions or convictions, because that would require READING and THINKING. They just wait for “The Man on the White Horse,” “the Messiah,” or the candidate who “cares about people like me.”
My favorite quotation from Bertrand Russell, who was brilliant though evil:
“Most people would rather die than think, and millions have.”
Funny you should mention that story. The guy who lived across the hall from Bill and Hillary and witnessed that event used to post here at FR, until he was banned for something, but not for that story. His freeper name was muawiyah. He’s still posting on the internet, I sometimes see him on disqus. He said that Bill and Hill were big time party animals and he saw Hillary staggering drunk on many occasions. Fortunately he only saw her naked once.
I think you are referring to Belinda Stronach.
