Bill Clinton is not running for President. Donald Trump is. [View all]

Bill Clinton was impeached by a partisan Congress almost two decades ago. Hillary Clinton was not impeached and she was not charged.

It is the height of sexism to try and paint the spouse with the sins of her husband. What wife would not try to defend the husband that she loves?

Some people, mostly Trump supporters, seem to be having difficulty separating the deeds of Bill Clinton from those of his wife? You simply cannot lay the blame for Bill's transgressions at the feet of Hillary Clinton. She is running for President on her own merits - not those of her husband.

It seems too obvious to need to point this out. Bill Clinton is not running for President. Hillary is running. And Donald Trump is running.

The sexism and the hypocrisy is damning.
