I love how President Clinton could slide cigar's into an intern's vagina and it's okay cause it's his sex life and that shouldn't matter, but Trump uses his celebrity status to fuck women and holy fuck the world is gonna end!

What alternate 90s did you live through? One major reason Bill Clinton isn't more popular with young liberals and democrats is specifically because of his infidelity. It was a big deal and still is a big deal to many.
 
Bill Clinton sliding a cigar into an intern's vagina was a huge deal, and lead to an impeachment, and it continues to be a big deal because even Trump says so (which is why he vowed to bring it up Sunday night). Which is why people are treating this as a big deal for trump.

Only difference - Bill Clinton isn't running for president. Donald Trump is.
There is also that other difference, what is it again... Consent.

Well Bill Clinton has rape accusers so unless they're lying I guess they're similar.

Again I hate trump and aren't voting for him but for the Hivemind to go nuts over this like its some major deal is kinda insane given what was "ok" for the same people.
What are you arguing for, exactly?

We shouldn't talk about this because Bill Clinton has a sketchy past with women too? The Lewinsky scandal was a huge deal at the time. Clinton was impeached. If social media was around then, it would be more of a circus than this is.

Which people in particular?

Let me break it down for you.

Bill Clinton was a charming, charismatic man who could sweet talk women into having consensual sex with him. Cheating on your spouse exposes a character flaw, perhaps, but unfortunately it's a common thing, even (or perhaps especially) among high ranking politicians. Whether that's a deal-breaker in a politician is ultimately up to the voters. Clinton went through an impeachment process due to that. It wasn't "okay".

Donald Trump is a sleazy sexual predator who, by his own admission, doesn't try to charm women; he just assumes since he's a celebrity he can do whatever he wants. That's sexual assault, not just cheating.

You're right--the other shit Trump's said and done is much worse.

Man I do wish it was Bernie vs Trump right now. I wouldn't feel so anxious about the results.

Stop with this nonsense.

Even with this situation, an elderly quasi-socialist, probable atheist would NEVER stand a chance of being elected.

N. E. V. E. R.

Just get over it and move on.

"Will you have sex with a woman if she's having her period? Go ahead," Stern asks Trump in a 1997 interview.

"I thought he was looking at Kate when he said that," Trump responded, looking at his "Art of Comeback" co-author and fellow guest Kate Bohner. "She's done that."

"Donald, seriously, you would not, right, am I correct?," asked Stern.

"Well, I've been there. I have been there Howard, as we all have," Trump responded.

"You don't like it?," asked Stern.

"Well, sometimes you get there by mistake," Trump said.

I find it amazing that we don't get many progressive politicians out of California that make it big on the national stage. Is there someone significant I'm missing?
Gray Davis killed his career, Jerry Brown is Jerry Brown, the other governors were Republicans. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein were the Senators for decades. Not many options really.

Sorta like New York is failed bed of producing national progressive politicians in recent years, Rudy and Pataki were Republicans, Bloomberg is Bloomberg, Schumer is Schumer, Spitzer went down in flames, nobody really likes Cuomo. If it wasn't for the carpetbagger they'd just be waiting on Gillibrand.

If Brown had advanced in his career ten years quicker we might be talking about him.
Brown had his shot at it the first time he was Governor Moonbeam, he ran for President in 1976, 1980 and 1992.

Bill Clinton getting busted having consensual relations with a staffer is not the same as Trump bragging about being able to get away with sexual assault due to his social status. One thing that drives me nuts about Trump defenders is they over simplify the issue to leave out key details.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

This is a disgusting post and you should feel bad for writing it. Don't just handwave his comments away.

Not a "major deal?" Jesus Fucking Christ.

Gross, but see.... THAT is locker room talk. The bus thing is a whole different level.
