2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Podesta Warns Sanders On Clinton Sex Scandals: 'I Hope He's Not Going There' [View all]Jarqui
(10,110 posts)24. It's not a big deal to me personally but someone saying
"how is Hillary going to control Bill from keeping his hands off the White House interns?"
I suspect from the Clinton campaign perspective that they feel it's now going to be a problem for some voters.
You know the GOP are going to stoke those thoughts and for the (often sexually hypocritical) religious right, they'll be hand-wringing at the pulpit, prayin' to their Lord to keep the sex heathen out of the White House!.
So sad. But it's like a wedge issue. Or like Benghazi. Scrape a few more points off Hillary.

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

This is ripe, "Bill nor Hillary dismissed Trump's comments about the former President" either.

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?
