In reply to the discussion: Podesta Warns Sanders On Clinton Sex Scandals: 'I Hope He's Not Going There' [View all]Uncle Joe
(58,362 posts)14. This is ripe, "Bill nor Hillary dismissed Trump's comments about the former President" either.
Mitchell had referenced Sanders' remarks from last Friday in which he called the former president's past personal conduct "totally, totally disgraceful and unacceptable" but hastened to add that he was running against Hillary Clinton, not her husband. Sanders, Mitchell remarked, had not exactly dismissed Trump's comments about the former president as he had done with swirling questions about her "damn emails" in the October Democratic debate.
That was the first criticism from Trump that Hillary nor Bill could or did reply to, now why is that?
Trump's criticism muted Hillary's criticism of him being a sexist or misogynist, despite the fact that he is.
The same thing will happen in the General Election should Hillary be the nominee.
Bernie has already gone the extra mile defending Hillary whether it was corporate media infatuation with her e-mails during the first debate or Trump's ridiculous criticism of her going to the bathroom during the last one, many lesser candidates would've just stayed quite on both occasions.
Has Hillary defended Bernie against Republican Criticism, if she has I missed it.
Thanks for the thread, Purveyor.

I saw that interview...I think they want Bernie to keep defending them. It's their fight, not his.

I wasn't comparing their character. The current president has a stellar one.

Obama was not married to BC and women's rights and empowerment were not his signature

Completely agree - especially if she never played a role in dismissing the allegations

An oft missed point in when a woman has an affair with a married man she is disrespecting the wife.

I never miss that nor the other fact that it is a betrayal and disrespecting of the spouse

Podesta is a sleazy campaigner in his own right. Remember the 2008 North Carolina black vote?
