Bill Clinton's rape and sexual assault allegations, and sex with young interns, are GOP fodder [View all]

Right now the Republicans are losing the women vote...by huge margins. If God forbid, Hillary wins the Dem nomination and finally all this nightmare will be back in public eye, the allegations will come back and hurt the women vote, the credibility of all Dems, and damage the platform that Dems have been building for ever that it's the Republicans that wage a war on women.

Some of Bill Clinton's accusers have already signed up to campaign with the Republicans.

Americans don't want sexual escapades in the White House and we don't want to go back to the 1990s when a president could get away with getting oral sex from interns and the Democratic Party defended it as a personal problem.

The Republicans will certainly exploit this weakness so it is a huge weakness.
