So Trump wants to use the Lewinsky affair..

…as a reason not to elect Hillary Clinton and yet, at the same time, it has been confirmed by a close confidante of Trump that Newt Gingrich is on his short-list for VP? And the confidante says that the name Ginrich keeps popping up as his favorite..

Newt Gingrich has admitted to having an affair!

And NewsMax, a conservative rag, mentions nothing about the cognitive dissonance in Trump favoring Gingrich as a VP pick…Nothing....

about the affair already. But does everyone know what Hillary tried to do to Bill's ladies to discredit them?

According to what her husband was probably telling her at the time, for all she knew, those women were lying…And it's conceivable-- with all the attacks and conspiracies whirling at a high profile couple in power, that these accusations were just part of those made-up conspiracies designed to take them down…

So it's kind of a forgivable lapse of judgement on her part when you put it all together…Bill was probably lying to her, it's conceivable it was all just made up by their political opponents, etc...

as we have seen in this campaign lying is a description of a campaign policy. And neither Trump or Hillary seem to care.

relationships are hard enough. My son's father n law is sleeping with their neighbor and it's just really sad to be around them.
