Related: About this forumWhy did Trump bring up the affairs to help Clinton with the sympathy vote?
On Morning Joe they are finally pointing out how this can help Clinton. No duh. It is why the corporate media kept playing it.
I can understand if Trump brought up the women who said they were attacked by Bill Clinton and then bullied by Hillary, but the affairs? It makes no sense.
It makes one wonder what his game is.

We have entered into a very rarified space where word salad and scat pass for learned discourse. The medium is the message and the message is madness.

Full-tilt Maggie Thatcher. Sympathy is not in the least bit relevant. And the Presidency is not some sort of consolation prize.

(9,385 posts)Bill helped talk him into running. And of course they were all friends before the election. Trump is very helpful for her, isn't he? Isn't that so lucky?
Who could've thought that would happen in advance?
Just because her early idol Goldwater was defeated because of FEAR of him. I'm sure that made an impression on her, don't you think?

(14,732 posts)intelligence that I believe he listens to nobody about what he's going to say and when he's going to say it. All he's doing here is test driving his latest example of bullying of an opposing candidate. Lyin Ted, Low Energy Jeb, Little Marco, even Goofy Elizabeth Warren. It's what he does- bully anyone opposing him into submission. (Look at what he did to Chris Cuomo yesterday). I'm sure he believes that this is his key to pushing Hillary into a submissive, cowering position where she is unable to effectively respond to him. Kind of Rovian in a half-assed sort of way.
