From the MSM reaction, the accusations by women stories are a huge problem for the Clintons

On Morning Joe they are twisting like pretzels trying to get Trump to keep quiet about Bill Clinton and the charges by various women (for one thing they are trying to conflate it with the Vince Foster story).

The part where they made the excuses for why the Corp. Media did not really cover this when Bill ran and then they turned around and tried to shutdown the story once again was classic corporate media trying to help their chosen candidate.

It is a huge issue with young women and women who didn't really hear about this the first time around. Earth to Democratic Establishment: this is not baked in the cake (as we are constantly told).

If Barack and Michelle Obama had this kind of baggage in 2008, do you think we would be calling him President Obama and Michelle First Lady? If there had been even a hint of Barack Obama assaulting women and then Michelle stepping in to bully them into remaining silent, his campaign would have been over.

Note: Nicole is giving Ms. Clinton's Cheerleader a run for her money. There is no argument she won't advance no matter how inane. The Bernie should get out of the race because Trump would run out of material to use against Clinton (that she espoused the other day) was priceless.

I really despise that tactic. It's as low as it gets, it is the bearing of false witness. Always done for candidates who shout that they are big Christians.
