2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNothing makes me more supportive of Clinton than repukes attacking
her for Bill's sexual history.
Yeah, it's a knee-jerk response but it hits me emotionally and really pisses me off. And if she's the nominee, I'll use that to motivate myself to vote for her.

(80,708 posts)It's when they try to sound like Republicans themselves- for example, Hillary using 9-11 to defend her ties to wall St. - that sort of thing makes me support them less.

(14,498 posts)An entire year of regurgitated soap opera nonsense about Monica, Paula, Ivanka, Marla and the rest.
Serious issues are ignored and serious discussion averted; and whomever wins can be counted on to preserve the economic order as is.

(9,522 posts)I remember the day after his speech admitting all, they left for Martha's Vineyard with Chelsea walking between them to the helicopter. I felt really bad for her, and I don't want to see this crap rehashed. She is not to blame for what he did, and I can't even begin to imagine how it must have felt to be humiliated in front of the world like that.
I don't want her to be president, but that is on the issues, not this personal stuff. Her marriage and how she chose to deal with it is off limits as far as I am concerned. I can have empathy for pain she must have felt, and anger she must have felt at Monica Lewinsky. That is just human, and understandable. The Republicans should have learned to leave that alone.
