Or former Republican Speaker lying, philandering, serial adulterer, a.k.a. husband of the future ex-Mrs. Gingrich, Trump-appointed ambassador to the Vatican.

The list goes on. For several thousand miles.

And it isn't about personalities. If we want to win elections we have to stop rewarding the smear artists.

Defamation and smears is all "conservatives" have and you can see how much integrity their candidates have. We must stop playing into their weak hand.

blaming Hillary for not stopping apartheid when she was First Lady of Arkansas. That's how ridiculous it gets.

The thread turned out to be hilariously funny because people started "blaming" Hillary for everything, including not coming over and doing their dishes, but that was the gist of how it started and that part wasn't meant to be a joke.

responsible for Harvey Weinstein or his behavior.

She is, however, responsible for her decision to allign herself with him in order to raise campaign funds (as are others) and it is important how all of them handle the current situation. I happen to believe they will all handle it just fine.

I do not believe, however, that it helps to let this situation fester.

Bill and now Harvey!

If you are a woman and you sit by while men sexually harass other women, then you are worse than the men doing the harassing. It's as simple as that in rethug land. This is true even if you merely suspect it might be happening.

or threatened, or tweeted about in a nasty way so as to make them look like the instigators. HRC shrugged it off and said, "It's nothing to do with me", which was the right call. Dotard says, "Liars! They are all Liars trying to make me look bad! I'm counter suing them for defamation!", which is intimidating.

When a liberal does it (Weiner, Weinstein), they are immediately shunned. Their careers are over.

When a rethug does it (Vitter, deJarlais (sp?), Sanford, dolt45), they get elected to office. Raise your hand if you think that you will never hear about Tim Ryan again. I predict that he will run for Senate next year against Sherrod Brown.

A DONOR to Democrats is accused of sexual assault.

Both are shitheads. Top Democrats are blamed for not speaking in time about the latter; Republicans SILENT on the former.
