Sound a bit desperate. If they go all in on this why wouldn't Clinton respond with the rape accusations that have been mad against Trump?

Because she wants to be president and such behavior is unbecoming?

Clinton is too smart to crawl down at his level.

Doesn't mean she doesn't have lackeys who can do it for her, of course.

I think Trump trying to bring up fidelity is not a great play.

You'd think so, but he doesn't think that.  The gender rules are different. To him, male infidelity is a badge of honor, an entitlement, another example of his supreme virility and masculinity.  For Clinton, being a victim of infidelity is a weakness, a moral failing as a wife.

The knock on Clinton is not that she tolerated Bill's infidelity, but that she enabled a sexual predator and allegedly threatened his victims.

She's got a little bit of a double-standard going herself.  A few months ago she said all rape victims should be believed.  So why doesn't she believe Juanita Broaddrick?

You're right. Clinton's campaign will collapse.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

As a normative statement, there's nothing controversial about saying that all rape victims should be believed. It's not quite the same thing as saying that all rape accusers should be believed.

I just downloaded my ballot and saw that I can vote for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine as the candidate for the Women's Equality, Democratic or Working Families party. So many choices!

It means all those parties have chosen those people as their candidates.

Electoral Fusion, baby! (Only learned that term when trying to find a blurb about it).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_fusion#New_York

Quotetoday, fusion as conventionally practiced remains legal in only eight states, namely:

California (Presidential elections only)
Connecticut
Delaware
Idaho
Mississippi
New York
Oregon
South Carolina
Vermont

Also an article explaining 'benefits' of fusion.

Ah... so you can vote for Clinton as a show of support for the Women's Equality party. How does the Women's equality party benefit from this?
