understandable. Anyone who doesn't "get" that has never been cheated on.

This is just more of djt misogyny -- to blame a woman for her husband's wrong-doing (real and/or alleged -- 'cause I'm sure they'll exaggerate and add some alleged stuff to the real stuff).

Somehow I can't imagine a male candidate being expected to be nice to his wife's extramarital lover. Of course, I can't remember a time when a male candidate's wife's extramarital affair was ever a campaign issue. Total double standard.

which only became public due to Benghazi.

She called Monica a "looney tune." But she never meant for that to become public or to ridicule her in public. Who could blame her for venting to a trusted friend?

It was really hard to find anything that wasn't Breitbart-esque and had a clear anti-Hillary agenda. But it appears all she did was get mad, call Jones trailer trash (hate the term but I might use it under the circumstances too) and float the idea that her aides might impugn them. BFD as far as presidential politics are concerned.

men who cheated on their wives and were on the receiving end of well deserved fury. Every single one of those men were philandering pigs. As for Trump, google ivana marla aspen and enjoy the irony.

Friendship because I dared to say I liked Hillary. That's literally all I said. He stormed off when I asked why that made him so emotional... He has been needling her about it ever since. Now she is complaining that stuff I post about on FB is not relevant. And we both know he's going to cheat again. It's all about normalizing the fucking abuse.

and it was by WaPo -- came out yesterday, as a matter of fact. It sounds as if HRC either didn't believe or didn't want to believe allegations about BC's affairs as she learned of each scenario and, as most would do, took up for her husband -- until the truth came out (in the real cases). In one case, HRC said -- in the context of "if she/HRC were the attorney" in the suit -- that she would crucify the other woman (think it was flowers), as in "crucify" with tough legal questioning of flowers and whatever-touch-attorney-maneuvers. That statement alone about "would crucify her" has, I think, been stated alone and out of context by Hillary Clinton's opponents and enemies.

Some may say HRC took up for her husband because of their political goals, and some may say she did so b/c that is what a loving and committed wife -- and mother (she had a child with this man) -- would do.

Anyway, I don't think HRC should be blamed for BC's misdeeds. And if she took up for him before she knew the truth, I think that is normal. And once she learned the truth, if she was less-than-kind to the other woman (as well as to her husband -- those who knew them said H&B were hardly speaking for lengths of time after H learned truth), that is natural. Anyone who doesn't understand that has never been cheated on.

but honestly - it's none of Trump's business!!!!

Hillary is a classy woman and thoughtful wife. She was pissed off, and handled it with grace.

Trump is nothing but a philanderer and rapist. I really hope he mentions Monica, because it won't be long before there's no one left on earth that will vote for him.

Trump's followers and a lot of the press act like she's the one who did something wrong instead of pointing their wagging fingers of shame at Bill's floozies and hanging the scarlet letter around their necks. Hillary made her decision to work out her marriage and that's strictly personal between the two of them. She doesn't owe anything to the women who shagged her husband, and even less to the lying, cheating, 3 time losers like Trump and Giuliani are trying to defend them.
