In reply to the discussion: Flight Logs Put Clinton, Dershowitz on Pedophile Billionaire’s Sex Jet [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)The Republican negative campaign machine will take this story (which does not yet at any rate prove any pedophilia on the part of Clinton as you point out) and every American who doesn't read critically will be quite convinced that Hillary was somehow an accessory.
I have had a feeling for a long time that something could, would mess up a Hillary campaign. This could be part of it.
The Republicans have been planning on defeating a Hillary candidacy for a long time in my opinion. That is one of the reason I don't want to see her run.
They are now starting to attack Elizabeth Warren. That suggests to me that they are beginning to believe that Hillary will not run.
This story could be part of the reason that the Republicans are starting to attack Warren.
Facts mean nothing to Republicans.
We still have to give Bill Clinton the benefit of the doubt. But we have given him the benefit of the doubt before and learned that the rumors about him were true.
Same for John Edwards. He had the strongest platform in 2008 and would have made a great president. But the rumors about his sex life were true and his candidacy was ended.
The Clintons run with a rich crowd some of whom are bound to be spoiled brats with no respect for others.
Sad and maybe this will go away. But I've seen this stuff before. If it is going to throw doubt on the Clintons' being able to represent our country with dignity, then I'm glad it is coming out now before Hillary has thrown her hat in the ring.
Fpr 2016, Democrats need a candidate whose sex life and whose spouse' sex life are above reproach.
There are too many important issues about social and economic justice that need attention. We do not need to have to deal with accusations of exploitation of sex workers or children in the campaign.
Bernie Sanders is probably above reproach in these areas. He has been in the political spotlight in a small state for many years.
