Under fire for his hot-mic comments in which he boasts about forcing himself upon women, Donald Trump is now signaling he will go after Hillary Clinton during tonight's presidential debate for her husband's past sex scandals.

When Bill Clinton's sex scandals were still fresh back in the 1990s, however, Trump took a much different approach to discussing them — expressing sympathy for Hillary Clinton, defending Bill Clinton and dismissing his accusers, and in one interview with Howard Stern, making light of Bill Clinton's infidelity.

And can you imagine being lambasted like that all day and then saying, 'Darling, what are we having for dinner?' It's gotta be pretty tough."

Trump also repeatedly dismissed and at times mocked Bill Clinton's accusers.

It will be interesting if Hillary responds to any references Trump makes to Bill Clinton by quoting Trump's own words defending Bill and praising her.
