I've yet to hear one person demand that Melania leave Trump because of his adultery.

To this day, from time to time, I still hear people, including women, and even so-called liberal women, say they don't like Hillary because she wouldn't leave Bill when the Lewinsky thing went down. And don't even talk about right wing commentators. They still disparage Hillary for staying with Bill. To hear them talk about it, it was a deal breaker for them.

Now, personally, I don't think it's anybody else's business as to whether someone should leave a marriage or stick it out. But the rank hypocrisy in these same assholes not demanding that Melania leave Trump after all the adulterous behavior that he has engaged in just boils me over.

Not one fricking peep about it. Now why is that?

You're right. I haven't either. Some "progressives" treat her much better than Hillary. nt pnwmom Apr 2018 #1
Yes, and why aren't there a hundred mics in her face asking about it over and over? BlueTsunami2018 Apr 2018 #2

Like they did to Secretary Clinton?

Then again, no one ever sees the Third Lady to ask her anything.

drumpf has done with other women throughout his life. Melania has made her choices and no one else has the right to demand anything.

As if Hillary didn't know Bill was a hard dog to keep on the porch. As if relationships aren't mental, intellectual, involve friendship, are only based on sex and sexual fidelity. Who do people think they are to judge. Bill didn't even go all the way with Lewinsky! It's not like a decades-long mistress or Trump's revolving door of affairs.

but that attitude :

Bill didn't even go all the way with Lewinsky!


is part of why we have an epidemic of tongue, throat, & tonsil cancer today.

It's not real sex (so we don't need to use barrier protection).

It follow logically - a bizarre “marker” for his proclivities that would be supporting evidence for the Steele memo.

It won't happen, though. Our 'journalists' are too scared of losing their access to ask any relevant or probing questions. Fox News would probably explode if a reporter were to ask that question publicly. I would love to see that shit.
