23. Look, I love Hillary and Bill.

But, we need to accept that both had baggage, much of it completely unearned. When we evaluate out candidates in the primary, we need to pay attention to whether a guy has a problem keeping his pants up, or the politician has lied about something in his or her past or tends to try to keep secrets.

Republicans will NEVER be able to elect another completely gross and incompetent person like Trump, but I am afraid that we will never to elect a competent and effective person like Bill Clinton, who had allegations of sexual predation hanging over his head when he ran. No one can be perfect, but the people that we field need to not have difficult skeletons in their closets.
