In 2008, Trump Dismissed Clinton Sex Scandal as ‘Totally Unimportant’
Mediaite ^ | December 28, 2015 | Josh Feldman

Considering how tough Donald Trump is talking about Bill Clinton's sex scandals now, it might surprise you (or not, because honestly, how many things has he suddenly changed his mind on at this point) to learn that The Donald didn't always feel this way.

Just to review, in the past week, Trump has tweeted out a lot about the former president, saying that it's not him that has a "penchant for sexism," it's Clinton.

Trump has tweeted about Clinton's "terrible record of women abuse" and sent a warning-like "BE CAREFUL!" to Hillary Clinton for calling him a sexist....

“Not coincidental Trumps 2015 conservative critics were Obamas 2009 fan boys”

What do you think about that article? Do you think it’s relevant that Trump’s 2015 critics were Obama fan boys in 2009?

Saw him on TV from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He looked and sounded totally defeated by the onslaught of the MSM and GOPee attacks. Trump is done!

“you look back on a person’s past and record?”

Fair enough.

So what’s worse? Saying that someone else’s sex life is unimportant or taking money from the gay lobby to run for president:

Many people did not realize how bad Clinton is.

I’m sure there’s one. It’s just whenever someone posts some article from years past that tries to smear Cruz, EEE runs into the thread in all caps shouting who’s got the cruz ping list. So you know, gotta return the favor.

Was Trump running in 2008?

Is Trump to be held to account only for statements he expresses while running for president?

Would you prefer that he say nothing about Bill Clinton’s past?

Do you want him to treat Bill and Hillary with kid gloves?

Would that make you happy?

I hope Trump has a team working as hard as the Clinton team —— researching every word said in the past.

I would say that he painted himself into a corner years ago and his criticism now rings hollow.

You ignore the fact that Trump doesn’t have a political record. So what he said in the past, or who he donated to, is completely irrelevant.

Bill Clinton’s sex life was unimportant.

The issue that the all brilliant and all-knowing Donald fails to see is that there’s this crime called Purgury, and lying under oath to a Federal Grand Jury is kind of well...an impeachable offense. If Bill had been upfront with how many “Lewinskys” he’d taken part it, then this probably wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

But Clinton LIED UNDER OATH TO A FEDERAL GRAND JURY. If Trump thinks that’s an “unimportant” issue or buys into the Democrat talking point that the whole impeachment was a witch hunt based on Bill’s sexcapdes, this further shows Trump has NO understanding of Constitutional Law or Federal provisions.

It sounds like the latter since Trump buys into the whole “Bush lied about WMDs crap” the left has been spewing for years.

You want him to leave the Clintons alone?

When Trump decided that the competition was too intense for him to run for mayor of NY (which he kept making noises about doing), he said that he thought De Blasio would make a great mayor.

Trump says whatever he thinks will benefit him, or whatever rolls across the magic 8-ball. He has no principles.
