Bill. clinton. is. not. hillary. clinton

Fair enough. As a general rule I think that anything between consenting adults which may or may have not involved anyone’s genitalia really has no bearing on what kind of job they’d do as President.

Also, Trump is obviously a worthless shitbag who doesn’t have a full understanding of the term “consenting adults”, and the world would probably be a much better place if he had been drowned at birth. That generally goes without saying. Using Bill’s past behavior to deflect from his own is absolutely a dick move, and there is a world of difference between a consenting affair and a sexual assault. That also goes without saying.

But like it or not, when we are tied to people, they are tied to us. You marry the person, you get the inlaws. Bill is one more piece of Hillary’s baggage. You are perfectly free to argue that he’s not an important or relevant bit of baggage- But you don’t get to pretend that baggage doesn’t exist, or that it isn’t ripe to be exploited by the opposition.

Because we’ve never had a First Lady who had formerly been a US President. Being a female candidate is not the only uncharted ground here.
