Why isn't the "Hillary should have left Bill" crowd demanding Melania leave the Adulterer-in-Chief?

[EffieBlack]

After all, if Bill having adulterous but consensual sex with a young intern should have been enough for Hillary to blow up her 25-year marriage, certainly the Donald's constant whoring around during his 12-year marriage - including unprotected sex with porn "stars" - should be a dealbreaker for Melania.

Right?

[bullimiami]

1. Because theyre all full of sh!t.

[OnDoutside]

2. You have a point.

[H2O Man]

3. Recommended.

Because they are terrible people.

[marlakay]

4. Maybe because people expected a feminist to leave

Because Hillary has high standards and many thought she would be stronger alone. I am one of those, it was her choice but i think she could have gone further alone.

I don’t nor do many people hold Melania to those standards, she knew she was a trophy wife and probably expected him to stray.

I would have left either man but its not my marriage.

[DURHAM D]

6. You have no idea what their contract is.

Nor do I.

Her/their choice, not mine or yours.

imo She has extremely high standards, and followed them.

[EffieBlack]

13. An essential element of feminism is making your own choices without others telling you what to do

Marriages are very complicated and no one knows what goes on in anyone else's relationship. That's why I have a real aversion to hearing other people talk about what Hillary should or shouldn't have done - no one but Hillary herself is any position to know what is best for her.

[erronis]

52. You are right. Very simple. A marriage and its ups/downs are for the parties to sort out.

[tenderfoot]

14. what a bunch of malarkey

eom

[bettyellen]

16. So- no standards for anyone except feminists, LOL. Transparent garbage. And Melania claims to be a

feminist, so there is that, too....

[EffieBlack]

40. Thank you

[bettyellen]

49. There is no point in having standards if youre not going to apply them. WTF?!?

What a joke!

[yallerdawg]

5. Simply because it is not Hillary or a Clinton.

Those "higher standards" don't apply, even to the present First Family.

[Miigwech]

7. trump is not even any good at sex

according to the porn star

[smirkymonkey]

20. Ugh! The thought of him having sex with anybody just makes me

want to vomit.

What some women will do for money. I really don't understand it. Some things are just so sickening that no amount of money can make one lower their standards.

[Ohiogal]

33. Amen, Smirkymonkey

I agree 100%

[smirkymonkey]

36. I know Ohiogal!

Doesn't it just make your skin crawl?

[Ohiogal]

43. Yes, also it makes me want to hurl!

[Cha]

29. But he has money to pay big bucks for it.

[lordsummerisle]

8. OK

so why then isn't the "Religious Right" leaving Trump for the same reasons? Oh wait, I just remembered...supporting anti-abortion causes means that you will put up with *anything* else...

[not fooled]

38. And bringing about the End Times

Don't forget that punce and the rest of the religious nutjobs are trying to bring about the end of the world, and see dump as the means to the end (literally)!

Such fine people!

[jalan48]

9. Let's see what she does once Trump is out of office.

[underpants]

10. Birds of a feather

Sorry. Had to say it.

[nini]

11. Because he wasn't in the Oval Office

That's what they'll say. That he defiled the oval office and office of the presidency.

45 wasn't president yet so that will help with their hypocrisy.

[TexasBushwhacker]

47. And Trump hasn't admitted to it

He will continue to deny it no matter what evidence is presented.

[marybourg]

12. Because in Hillary's case an unholy cabal of

RW and Russian villains started the meme. Why some progressive women eventually went along is beyond my ability to explain. In the current case, the villains have no interest in starting the meme, the rest of us don't give a sh*t and don't expect principled behavior from the tRump family anyway.

If there's a lesson anywhere in this, it's to stop allowing the RW and the Ruskies to manipulate our emotions.

[treestar]

15. Hypocrisy defines them

Any time they mention the Clintons from now on, they ought to be called out on their hypocrisy.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. Hypocrisy created them.

Where would they be without it?

[madinmaryland]

17. It's OK if you are Republican. Don't you know that?

[Cracklin Charlie]

18. Nobody cares?

It’s too gross to think about?
It’s okay if you’re a Republican?

[BigmanPigman]

19. They are 100% hypocrites with everything.

[Progressive dog]

21. Melania is what they expect women to be.

Hillary wasn't.

[Historic NY]

22. One has a non disclosure agreement worth millions.

the other worked it out, after kicking him in the ass. Twice

[democratisphere]

23. redumbliCONs play by a different set of rules.

They lie and cheat about everything; perfectly acceptable.

[AllyCat]

24. The MAGATs I have seen on line say it is different

because 45 wasn’t in the WH yet.

[EffieBlack]

41. So the other accusations they love bringing up, Paula, Juanita, Gennifer, no longer matter

because they were all pre-White House.

Good to know. Thanks.

[AllyCat]

50. See how easily they can deflect that?

It was all about national security, not family values.

[treestar]

53. Still hypocrites, they claim it is immoral

to commit adultery, that should be any time.

[TalenaGor]

26. I asked that on quora lol

[paleotn]

27. Damn it! Why can't I rec this multiple times....

We need a multi-rec button.

You are spot freaking on!

[underthematrix]

28. She's a "former" sex worker and is being paid for her services

[Major Nikon]

54. Kinda amazing how someone with virtually zero modeling income....

can afford an apartment in Manhattan while traveling back and forth to Europe to illegally renew a tourist visa.

[underthematrix]

56. Thank you

[mcar]

30. Good question

Because they are hypocrites, it seems.

[Sophiegirl]

31. Because...

She is bought and paid for. And, she signed an agreement to stay with him for a certain amount of time. Which is probably close to ending.

[Paladin]

32. Damn good question---with an obvious answer: they're fucking hypocrites. (nt)

[kskiska]

34. Oh, yes

Hillary was an "ENABLER!" So what's different now?

[Kablooie]

35. Simple. Trump is Republican. Morals and honor are irrelevant when applied to Republicans.

Only Democrats are required to live honorably and morally.

And that's the truth.

[Shoonra]

37. They should, and should also work up impeachment proceedings arising from this ...

Bill Clinton's affair with Monica was brief, transient, and possibly the result of extreme proximity to temptation.

But Trump's affair with Stormy involved searching out a porn star who resembled his daughter, a very prolonged relationship, and a lot of money.

Psychologists (and others) will be writing books about Trump's affair (and contrasting it to Bill and Monica) for decades to come.

In the meantime, we might wonder if Trump is currently catting around with someone who won't slap his hand away.

[certainot]

39. the difference is 1200 radio stations attacking the clintons but making excuses for trump

that's the whole story

[yonder]

57. I'm thinking the meme is set as seed by mostly unseen oligarchical interests.

With a little watering by those 1200 AM radio stations, it blossoms into an item for the news cycle, then harvested as a successful crop by the oligarchy. Prune or plow under as needed, then repeat. What can go wrong other than a loss of democracy?

We're needing different farmers, seed (of truth) and water (of life). We'll take care of the harvesting.

[certainot]

59. and the kremlin may have been seeding it for about 10 years, when

rove lost the white house.

manafort was campaign director for mccain and limbaugh wouldn't support mccain until he picked palin.

palin was the talk radio candidate and got the trump teabag base

maybe she was the russia candidate too

[LiberalLovinLug]

42. Just one in a long list of rhetorical questions

Which can all be answered by the same answer:

One is a Democrat
And one is a Republican

[Still In Wisconsin]

44. Because IOKIFYAR*

(It's OK If You Are A Republican)

[Liberalagogo]

45. She'll leave the shithole

when Putin tells her to leave the shithole.

[customerserviceguy]

46. Because they know the difference

between a smart woman like Hillary, and a bimbo like Melania. You have lower expectations for the latter.

[IluvPitties]

48. Each person is an universe...

[shanny]

51. 1) maybe they are--have you checked?;

1.5a) who's in the "Hillary should have left Bill" crowd anyway?; 1.5b) why would we listen to them whoever they are?; and 2) maybe they have no respect for Melania and therefore don't expect anything

[lark]

55. She;s having her own affair(s).

She's a lying, plagiarizing, porn actress, illegal immigrant, gold digger. She has no morals, and is doing nsda ss FLOTUS. Most useless and lazy and no good first lady (OK, she's not a lady at all) ever.

[lunatica]

58. Comparing Hillary to Melania is unfair

to the gold digger
