When has that dignified man ever been recalcitrant and Trump behaving? He made some big errors. He did not act like TRUMP.
He screwed Monica, yes. BUT he did not call her a stupid fat **&&^.... like Trump would have, while DENYING he ever committed the act. But I doubt if even Monica Lewinsky would ever be so desperate as to try anything romantic with TRUMP. UGH. It takes a REAL Bimbo to want that fat freak.
As far as being a threatening moron who wants to shut down the government to stop him from looking bad and showing what a total a$$ he truly is? Only a Bush or worse would try it. No not even dummy would have tried it. Only a clueless, retarded dummy would. Keep alienating everyone to prove how strong a man you are.
Trump lies about being intelligent. Clinton (both Hillary and Bill) are so much smarter than that idiot, that you have to BE an idiot not to see that.

No, Bill did not call her names but Hillary did. Bill has a long history of being accused of sexual abuse of women (harassment and rape more than once) as far back a his college days. I did not love Clinton by the end of his term. However, my first vote ever cast was for Bill Clinton...I even shook his hand at a rally in my home town.
You are not aware of the number of women who have accused Bill of sexual abuse? (I am not talking about consensual sex...we all know he is a dog) Or just deny it?
Oh for GOD SAKES get off it. That is ONE horrid thing. YEARS AGO. Now. We are talking ABOUT NOW.
Are you going to play the sex pervert card? TRUMP STILL WINS HANDS DOWN. Clinton is an oily, sleezbag. TRUMP? He is an animal. Towards women, their rights, their place in his world, there is NO comparison. He is MUCH worse.
MUCH WORSE.
Now, the sex scandals aside? There is NO comparison to what constitudes Presidential material.
Clinton was a very astute and smart President. Period.
Trump is a joke clown who NO ONE OF ANY MERIT respects.
Why don't you compare Albert Einstein to Mickey Mouse?
It is SAD when I have daily affirmations of what a CREEP your guy is and you have ONE card to keep playing over and over which, incidentally, has zero to do with his ability to govern a country.
Donald J. Trump had barely met Rowanne Brewer Lane when he asked her to change out of her clothes.
Donald was having a pool party at Mar-a-Lago. There were about 50 models and 30 men. There were girls in the pools, splashing around. For some reason Donald seemed a little smitten with me. He just started talking to me and nobody else.
He suddenly took me by the hand, and he started to show me around the mansion. He asked me if I had a swimsuit with me. I said no. I hadn’t intended to swim. He took me into a room and opened drawers and asked me to put on a swimsuit.
–Rowanne Brewer Lane, former companion
Ms. Brewer Lane, at the time a 26-year-old model, did as Mr. Trump asked. “I went into the bathroom and tried one on,” she recalled. It was a bikini. “I came out, and he said, ‘Wow.’ ”
Mr. Trump, then 44 and in the midst of his first divorce, decided to show her off to the crowd at Mar-a-Lago, his estate in Palm Beach, Fla.
“He brought me out to the pool and said, ‘That is a stunning Trump girl, isn’t it?’ ” Ms. Brewer Lane said.
Donald Trump and women: The words evoke a familiar cascade of casual insults, hurled from the safe distance of a Twitter account, a radio show or a campaign podium. This is the public treatment of some women by Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president: degrading, impersonal, performed. “That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees,” he told a female contestant on “The Celebrity Apprentice.” Rosie O’Donnell, he said, had a “fat, ugly face.” A lawyer who needed to pump milk for a newborn? “Disgusting,” he said.

But the 1990 episode at Mar-a-Lago that Ms. Brewer Lane described was different: a debasing face-to-face encounter between Mr. Trump and a young woman he hardly knew. This is the private treatment of some women by Mr. Trump, the up-close and more intimate encounters.
Nope. I don't know if he raped anyone. If he did? He'd cover it up and so would anyone in power. If you are that out of control, you will find a way to hide it.
So, let's forget about the rape card and just go with the ability to rule. Clinton knows how to be a Leader in all things GOVERNMENT and TRUMP? He cannot remember what he said last week about anything.
Can you imagine Clinton ever being accused of not understanding an issue he is trying to speak about? Can you imagine ANYONE not knowing the difference between Medicaid and Medicare and trying to change HEALTH CARE? THIS SCREWBALL IS INSANE. READ THIS: Part of the problem, Republican lawmakers have grumbled privately to reporters, is that the president seems to have a thin grasp on the substance of health care. Some outlets have even reported that during the campaign, he often confused Medicaid with Medicare.
Debating you is SO EASY, I don't even have to try, I have all the help I need from EVERYONE WHO HATES HIS GUTS. That is a lot of sites.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump railed against the “failing” Obamacare and said he would replace it with “something terrific” once in office. He’s pushed Congress hard to overhaul a law that he says is “collapsing” and hurting American families.
But it’s never been clear just what, exactly, Trump had in mind. He’s praised single-payer systems in Canada and Scotland and said that Australia’s government-run approach produces “better health care than we do.” And now, as Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act seem destined to fall short, some critics are blaming his failure to lay out a clear vision for the defeat.
Part of the problem, Republican lawmakers have grumbled privately to reporters, is that the president seems to have a thin grasp on the substance of health care. Some outlets have even reported that during the campaign, he often confused Medicaid with Medicare.
On Wednesday, Trump bragged to the New York Times, “I know a lot about health care.” But he demonstrated just how thin that knowledge is as he struggled to describe the difficulty of enacting reform. “So pre-existing conditions are a tough deal,” he said, in comments that puzzled health care wonks. “Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan. Here’s something where you walk up and say, ‘I want my insurance.’ It’s a very tough deal, but it is something that we’re doing a good job of.”
So, what does Trump really think about health care? Judging from his circuitous, contradictory, and downright confusing comments over the years, it’s not clear even he knows the answer.

“If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.” — Larry King Live, 1999 ADVERTISING

"There's many different ways, by the way. Everybody's got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, 'No, no, the lower 25 percent that can't afford private'… I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now … the government's gonna pay for it. But we're going to save so much money on the other side.

So what? If Rowanne Brewer felt uncomfortable why didn't she refuse? Typical inability to take responsibility. She was there because she wanted attention from wealthy men. What a stupid hypocritical whore.
Anyway it is a logical progression, intellectuals have been under fire for several generations now, Not just from politicians but also from religious groups.
