43. And I think they'd use the same total scandal immersion...

...if Hillary was president, but then it would be "ENTIRELY" misogyny. Limbaugh pushed hard for her nomination because he has a huge verbal ammo box already written for her. Besides the golden oldies, the Republicans would have thrown one scandal after another at her just like they did her husband. We'd see more gates than a ticket agent at O'Hare International.

As I pointed out, programmed racism is what keeps the Barstool Republicans hungry for a scandal, but for those in charge it's become a patented technique to smear the White House. They're still upset about Nixon and need to even the score.

Hopefully, the public will get weary with scandals they know will go nowhere.
