2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTweety is just totally insufferable tonight.
He starts off buying into the premise that , 'where there's smoke there's fire' and, if the Rethugs are talking about Hillary's health, there must be something to it. "Why doesn't she release her medical records? he asks". And the bloated bullfrog of the Conservative Union that he has all too often on his ['panels' cheerfully agrees. And then Matthews is delighted with the idea of Hillary having to defend herself against an Ailes-prepared attack on her during the debate about Lewinski and the blue dress. He even managed to suggest another line of attack - when the Clintons 'made the White House into Motel 6", referring to fund raising by letting donors sleep in the White House. Swear to God it took all my resolve not to throw something through the TV set. He's really a 14K First-Class Asshole.

(24,736 posts)Watch the segment with the Republican Rep from Georgia. Guy tried to lie about Reagan and Carter's roles in Iran with the arms for hostages trade. One of the best holding of feet to the fire I've seen about this lie.
Though I often share your opinion stated here!

Secondly, Ailes has been let go. Who can he influence now? The ladies at FOX he sexually harassed?
The questions come from the moderators - not Ailes. I doubt a moderator wants to be party to a question like that.
The only way is somehow Trump brings it up. He's dumb enough to try but like much of the last month, it's going to blow up in his face. Since he's the one bringing it up, Hillary can ignore the stupid question. (maybe brush off her shoulder again) Hillary did not have sex with Monica and lie about it - most rightfully perceive her as a victim of that act.

Two of them look to have been paid off. That third one is a nasty allegation that could have been brought on by his candidacy but maybe not. Who knows?
Who would want to have to deal with that in front of tens of millions of voters?

Hillary's favorability went from the 40s to the 60s with the Lewinsky scandal

The two page letter which includes many details of Hillary Clinton's health is at: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/31/us/politics/hillary-clinton-doctor-letter.html
It can be read online or downloaded as a PDF.
Compared to Trump's doctor's letter (includes link to Trump campaign site where the letter can be downloaded in PDF format) about his health which didn't say much about any health issues Trump might have or include any health history, the letter from Dr. Lisa Bardack is a complete medical assessment Of Hillary Clinton.
