They can't be that stupid, can they? Yea, they probably can.

So Hillary says:

Mr. Trump, I, like many women, including your first two wives, have known the pain of a straying husband. But Bill and I decided the marriage was worth saving. Ivana and Marla evidently felt differently. Further, in Bill's case the women fully consented and were not underage.

Opinions: Approve? Too snarky? Not strong enough?

[onehandle]

1. His current temporary wife, was also his mistress.

Trump is trash.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Hillary could bring up Melania's nude photos.

All's fair, etc.

[democrattotheend]

29. No. Terrible idea

If Trump brings up Bill Clinton's affairs, I think it will backfire and make women rally to Hillary. But if she slut shames Melania she will lose any sympathy she might have gained. Bad idea.

[tammywammy]

30. Good post.

Let him bring it up. Bill's approval ratings went up during the impeachment.

[Foggyhill]

2. Bring it on idiots.

Clinton will love this. The more they do it, the more she'll love it.

[C_U_L8R]

3. When they go low, we go high

Trumps desperate ploys speak for themselves.
Let them fall into the abyss where they belong.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. I'd be willing to bet that Hillary already has remarks ready and waiting to counter attacks

like this. I can't believe that Trump's campaign advisers are so tone deaf that they would consider bringing this subject into the contest. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. This would not endear them to women voters.

[randome]

31. 'Advisers'? You really think he has functioning advisers?

Trump shoots himself in the foot on an hourly basis!

[Arkansas Granny]

36. I never said they could control him.

Without advisors there's no telling what body parts he'd be shooting.

[randome]

37. LOL! Good one!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Meredith McIver approves of this post.[/center][/font][hr]

[geek tragedy]

5. they're trying to bait Clinton into responding.

hasn't occurred to them that she's got this thing called 'discipline' aka 'self-control'

[Journeyman]

6. Whatever she has in mind, I imagine Trump is quite scared to find out what she'll say . . .

If he has a lick of sense (and I suspect he doesn't) he won't poke that bear. But when he does, it'll be a moment of merriment for everyone but Trump.

[underpants]

7. A. Reminds people of 90's. B. Bragging adulterer

C. He got floored with the Miss Universe thing. Anything dealing with women is bad for him.

D. This is yet another RW inside joke - Hillary attacked Bill's accusers - everyone else has moved on and retelling it frames Hillary as a strong woman and it just sounds like a wild ghost story. It also reeks of tabloid material.

E. (sort of part of B ) they kept their family together.

This is flat out stupid on their part and a complete waste of time and energy.

[book_worm]

8. All she has to say is "Everybody knows that Bill and I have had our problems, but we don't need

advice from somebody who has been married three times and boasted in his book about his various affairs."

[renate]

11. I like this

He didn't just have affairs, he bragged about them. I can't imagine how his family-values supporters would rationalize that to themselves, although they are so far gone that I'm sure they'll find a way.

[greymattermom]

27. He bragged about them

to Howard Stern. On potty mouth radio.

[bettyellen]

19. Only surrogates should address it in any detail. This is beneath her and she should act like it

[Andy823]

40. I agree

I just had to run to town and was listening to CNN on the radio, so I don't know who the guy was, but Wolf was talking about this subject and the guy pointed out the 3 marriages of Trumps and the 5 kids from different mothers. I didn't hear the whole thing, but somebody was doing their job for Hillary. On the way back they were taking about all the "fake" polls, or as Wolf said surveys, that Trump keeps pointing to saying he won the debate on Monday. I think it was the same guy, made the comment Trump needs to have people around him tell him he won, and these fake polls helped them push the "he won" meme. The guy also pointed out that the real polls all said Hillary had won.

[MoonRiver]

21. Perfect!

[randome]

32. Meredith McIver wrote that chapter. Oh, that Meredith, she's gonna get it now!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Meredith McIver approves of this post.[/center][/font][hr]

[unblock]

9. she's wisely not defended or excused bill's actions to date and she shouldn't start now.

and the attack won't be on what bill did, it would be on what hillary said about monica and the fact that she chose not to publicly humiliate bill for it (though we all know she gave him a swift kick privately).

maybe better for her to just generically stick up for her family. maybe say something generic like "you're in no position to pass judgment."

[anamandujano]

20. What did Hillary say about Monica?

[unblock]

23. i've been trying to find it.

so far i've only found the claim from right-wingers that hillary was mean to monica.
don't know what she's alleged to have said or if she actually said it.

but with trump that hardly matters. he'll bring up the topic on that basis.

[stonecutter357]

10. I'm not concerned at all.

[TeamPooka]

12. Attacking Bill about this didn't stop him from getting elected President, twice.

It won't stop Hillary either
So keep it up Trump.
It's a loser issue for you.

[whistler162]

14. or simply "Please, proceed!"

[Avalux]

15. Nope, Hillary says nothing. Would not be wise to get in the gutter with Donald.

Why on earth would she even acknowledge comments about Bill's infidelities? SHE is running for president, not him. A comeback as you've suggested is pointless and mentioning Donald's infidelities wouldn't help her one bit.

Going after Bill is Donald's hail mary, he knows he's in bad shape and is desperate. All Hillary needs to do is continue as she did during the first debate and refuse to engage Donald when he tries to bait her.

[fishwax]

16. that strategy has worked so well for republicans in the past

[Blue Idaho]

17. Big Mistake...

But the Trump campaign is out of ideas so they do this sort of nasty shit. Someone needs to ask KellyAnne ConJob if she is proud the campaign she is running. Beyond that - does anyone really want a President who stoops so low and has friends acting as vile, disgusting, and mean spirited attack dogs.

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

22. Spot on

This articulates my first reaction upon seeing this.

[bettyellen]

18. She should not call out the ex wives names- nope. Something about herself and having her choices

Respected, and at most how she has had only one marriage and took her vows seriously- at most.

[Oldem]

24. Some cheerful reminders:

1. Newt Gingrich resigned the speakership after his caucus rebelled against him. The repug party had lost seats in the '98 election because of the public's anger over the impeachment. He later admitted to an extra-marital affair while he was prosecuting President Clinton.
2. His replacement, Bob Livingston, resigned on the day of the impeachment vote, after revelations that he was in an extra-marital affair.
3. Dennis Hastert, who presided over the trial, is in prison.
4. Ken Starr, the chief prosecutor, was fired as president at Baylor and resigned as chancellor. His recent interviews prove that protecting football players is more important to him than protecting rape victims and potential rape victims.

These guys, and the horse they rode in on, are hypocrites of the first order--well, maybe the second, since t-rump has bragged about his infidelities. When the above throw this kind of mud, they wind up covered in it, and t-rump will, too, if he attacks Mrs. Clinton. Let's remember that she is the wife of a philanderer, not a philanderer herself. She's kicking his a$$, and she'll do it again if he pulls this stuff in a debate.

[Hekate]

34. +1,000,000. Thanks for that stroll down Memory Lane.

[bettyellen]

42. Yes - they have started pushing these four names, saw it last night.

[meow2u3]

25. I told you Donald would wait until HRC's back was turned

to bring up Bill Clinton's past infidelities.

The Cowardly Lyin' doesn't have the stones to say it to her face. That's why he didn't broach the subject during the debates; he was too scared she'd throw his own infidelities back in his face.

I think HRC ought to point out his bully-boy ways as those of a coward. Trumpanzees may love DT's cruelty, but even they hate a coward....or they could be such lowlifes that they'd follow a coward to the pits of hell.

[GWC58]

26. I'd say those are

desperate measures, brought on by desperation.

[Monk06]

28. That shoe is so chewed over a dog won't touch it But Trump still wants to run with it

If he brings it up at the debates he will be booed off the planet

That will be the end of the debate if he tries

[Hekate]

33. Question: Does anyone think the millenials give a rat's ass? This is old old old news.

Will Tinyhands Trump sway even one vote by bringing this up?

My answer: The millenials don't care, and no votes will be swayed.

Furthermore, no matter how hard and how often he tries, Benedict Donald will never be able to get into Hillary's head nor will he lure her into the gutter with him.

There is nothing our candidate needs to say on this subject, ever. And she won't.

[Persondem]

35. Ahhhhhh ... I love the smell of desperation in the morning!!

Perhaps that's what Trump was sniffing during the debate.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

38. He's dumb. If he goes after her for not being nice to the other women

All Hillary has to do is remind him of Aspen. Ivana wasn't all gumdrops and lollipops to Marla, lol.

[Mamajami]

39. Hillary and Kaine campaign should just ignore this, as it seems they are doing, and go on and pivot

to the issues and what they plan to do to help the country. Today was a great start in New Hampshire.

[Princess Turandot]

41. "For your own sake, Donald, you should look to John 8:7. Really. If only for your own sake."

Said with an air of patience. He'll be obviously befuddled, which will rattle him. John 8-7 will start trending on Twitter. And she'll have called him an adulterer, but in a very polite way.

I doubt that he will bring this up in a debate, but that may be because I'm not nuts.

If they think this will throw her off balance in some way, they're idiots.

[Rocknrule]

43. This daughter-banging hypocrite has no shame
