Finding, if I was mistaken, pardon me. I said earlier much gets lost in context online.

I am a Bernie supporter. Voted for him in both the primary as well as the general election, even if I knew my vote wouldn't count.

Bill wasn't on the ticket since the 90's. Hillary is, and she was the victim. If you want to get on Hillary for having a cheating spouse, why are you on this site? We support each other!

I feel that blaming Hillary for Bill's indiscretions isn't right at all. Not then and certainly not now.

Let's not compare Trump's philandering, constant disrespect to women and tons of others to a man that has been out of the White House for 20 - 30 years.

Well said, SF, especially on this site. And, Finding Hope, Trump runs his mouth and cheated on his wives. If you recall, people were appalled at how he went around town being photographed with Marla Maples proudly committing adultery while married to Ivana. And then there were the allegations in her divorce documents that he sexually assaulted her (Ivana) during their marriage, along with recent evidence of sexual harassment and assault and the child rape suit that was in process, but the victim was intimidated by threats and recently dropped the case. Donald Trump does not only "run his mouth" about racism, sexism, etc. he named a known and well-documented white nationalist/white supremist to one of his highest cabinet positions, has a vice president who supported legislation for conversion therapy. Banno is also the man who ran the ad: Would you rather your daughter have feminism or cancer? And he published a Breitbart headline calling former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., a “human shield” for the gun-control movement, “ after she was shot at point blank range. You've likely heard that his wife also accused him of anti-semitism and domestic violence. And it goes on and on. And yesterday, Trump had an advisor sit in on a top secret briefing on National Security who is a consultant to Turkey. Hello?  The so called checks and balances so many want to believe are in place are not and this puts our national security at risk. Trump is way over his head. Even he has admitted he did not understand the scope of the presidency.

This is not "running one's mouth." These are actions. These are core values. One does not name someone to their highest advisor position who does not share values and beliefs. And do some research on Guiliani. He has taken more money from speeches than Clinton and is intertwined with foreign monies to a more concerning extent. He too cheated on his wife and announced he was divorcing her at a press conference. Newt cheated multiple times and had to resign due to ethics violations....If you are going to bring cheating up, research Trump and his entourage and appointments first.

Well the results keep trickling in....

Hillary now has over 1 million more votes than Trump.  People did vote for her for president.   :)
I agree with Elegance..The Electoral College has to go!

Btw, I wouldn't call what Bill had with Monica Lewinski an affair.  Wrong but not an affair.

A quote from a recovered MLCer: 
"From my experience if my H had let me go a long time ago, and stop pressuring me, begging, and pleading and just let go I possibly would have experienced my awakening sooner than I did."

Seriously, there should be an IQ test and a psychological profile done before people be allowed to vote.
Really? Again insinuating that people who disagree are somehow deficient? That's more than not being politically correct, that's being condescending and rude.

And Hillary a victim? Please!!!! Tell that to the relatives of the people in Benghazi.

Ummmmm. No. I do not want a handful of states deciding who becomes President every time. Its as much about State's rights as it is about democracy. We are a representative democracy, not a majority rule democracy and I thank God everyday that our forefathers had the good sense to outline this in the constitution! Would you be calling for it so vociferously if you candidate had won?

Really? Seriously? Is that what you would say to a newbie who's husband had a one night stand? Or several? I'm appalled. Adultery/affair are interchangeable in my book. One is just a more "politically correct" term.

Half of Americans believes their country just elected a racist, homophobic, sexist and the other half thinks we elected an open-minded guy who is no more sexist than most people. No matter which half of the country is right, the other half of the country is in a deep hallucination. We just don’t know which half. (Yes, I know that you know the other half is hallucinating. But keep in mind that the other half thinks you are the one hallucinating.)

The 3 threads and hundreds of posts here prove the truth of the statement above.  Consider the possibility you might be wrong.  Half of us must be wrong.  Think about it.

I'm not exactly sure how this is viewed from a female perspective, but if my W had allowed another man to perform oral sex on her I would have most definitely viewed it as an affair whether it involved his Pen!$ or not.

Phoenix,
In the previous thread I spoke about Mary Matalin and James Carville being on opposites sides of the political aisle.  You stated that Mary Matalin had changed her party from Republican due to Trump.  It is important to fact check in order not to mislead people.  What you stated is factually incorrect.  I am posting here a direct statement to the press by Mary Matalin.  Her changing her party affiliation had nothing to do with Trump and she was not a Hillary supporter. 

"Mary Matalin, a high-profile political pundit and veteran strategist for the Republican Party, changed her party registration to Libertarian from Republican, she said on Thursday.

But in an interview with Bloomberg Politics, which reported on the switch, she emphasized that her decision was not connected to Donald J. Trump’s being the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

She described herself as a voter as a “provisional Trump” and a “never Hillary,” referring to the leading Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Bengazi another FOX myth. please stick to facts.

Who cares about Bill Clinton? why is that even a topic?

Talking about Bill Clinton now is just like being blamed for our spouse's MLC. lol

How old was Bill then? could it have been a MLC?

We can't compare a man who cheated on his wife to a man who constantly disrespects all women.
