It must stop now: The media can’t allow Trump to make this election about Bill Clinton
SALON ^ | May 24, 2016 | Sean Illing

Donald Trump has fired his first shots of the general election campaign. Predictably, they have nothing to do with anything that matters. In a new video released on Instagram, Trump features audio interviews with women who’ve accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. Against the backdrop of shadowy audio clips, the accompanying text asks if Hillary Clinton is “really protecting women.”

We hear the voices of Monica Lewinsky, Kathleen Wiley, and a clip from a 1999 Dateline interview with Juanita Broaddrick. Near the end, as the sound of Hillary Clinton’s cackle fades, the words “Here we go again” flash on the screen.

I’m no great defender of Bill Clinton. He was a competent president and did a lot of things well, but he’s also received a pass from Democrats on a number of fronts. The triangulating, the serial lying, the capitulations to white Southerners – it was all transparent and nauseating. But here’s the thing: Bill Clinton isn’t running for president, and what he did with his penis 30 years ago is irrelevant.

Salon just told Trump what he needs to do to beat Cankles.

The best is yet to come.

Uh.....the media is there to REPORT the news, not allow or not allow anything, genius.

The point is Hillary was used to destroy his accusers.

It’s not about Bill Clinton.

It’s about Hillary Clinton’s enabling/covering-for Bill Clinton.

The media allowed Obama to make the election about the war on women last time. That was totally irrelevant. It’s going to be fun to watch Donald Trump make the election about all kind of things that the left think are irrelevant. Boy will this be fun

No, let’s make it about co-ed bathrooms and the occasional black suspect shot by a local police officer.

Distractions from the Democrat party apparently are fine.

Anything Trump is always negative.
Anything Cankles is always positive.

Bazzaro World.

Now if your name is Bill and you're black, please expect prosecution.

Seriously, Hillary's suggested that Bill will be put in charge of several areas in the administration. Hillary made him part of the campaign as a package, then fine, his package is (ugh) on the table again.

I do love how the media decry what is, and what supposedly isn't, permitted in the campaign.
