Why did Trump bring up the affairs to help Clinton with the sympathy vote?

[Skwmom]

On Morning Joe they are finally pointing out how this can help Clinton. No duh. It is why the corporate media kept playing it.

I can understand if Trump brought up the women who said they were attacked by Bill Clinton and then bullied by Hillary, but the affairs? It makes no sense.

It makes one wonder what his game is.

[morningfog]

1. His game has one move only: insulting bullying.

There is no strategy, logic or coherence.

[Fairgo]

2. It is beyond sense

Isn't it exhilarating?

We have entered into a very rarified space where word salad and scat pass for learned discourse. The medium is the message and the message is madness.

3. Because it gets his base off.

4. No, he will be making the point that Hillary hasn't helped women, but is against them.

Bring up all the dirt and show Hillary's role.

5. You haven't figured out yet that Trump wants to lose and help Hillary become President? nt

[Arkansas Granny]

6. Trump brought up the affairs because he is a total dick. His game is to insult and bully people.

His base loves it.

7. You think trump is working to get Hillary elected?

And that delusional thought, makes you all upset?? WTH??

8. She does not get my sympathy, and sympathy does not override the fact that she

is now full speed ahead to the right.

Full-tilt Maggie Thatcher. Sympathy is not in the least bit relevant. And the Presidency is not some sort of consolation prize.

9. Jesus Fucking Christ.

10. Clinton and Trump are working together. It's theater.

Dog and pony show.

11. Kettling the vote.

Bill helped talk him into running. And of course they were all friends before the election. Trump is very helpful for her, isn't he? Isn't that so lucky?

Who could've thought that would happen in advance?

Just because her early idol Goldwater was defeated because of FEAR of him. I'm sure that made an impression on her, don't you think?

12. Because he is so enamored with his belief in his 'superior'

intelligence that I believe he listens to nobody about what he's going to say and when he's going to say it. All he's doing here is test driving his latest example of bullying of an opposing candidate. Lyin Ted, Low Energy Jeb, Little Marco, even Goofy Elizabeth Warren. It's what he does- bully anyone opposing him into submission. (Look at what he did to Chris Cuomo yesterday). I'm sure he believes that this is his key to pushing Hillary into a submissive, cowering position where she is unable to effectively respond to him. Kind of Rovian in a half-assed sort of way.
