This headline from 1990 worth remembering if Trump brings Gennifer Flowers to the debate



The Trump marriage is on the rocks because, it is claimed, because Mrs. Trump found out about her husband's two year fling with a southern belle named Marla Maples.

When asked if he thought adultery was a sin, Mr. Trump- said to have met Ms. Maples in church - replied- "I don't think it's a sin but I don't think it should be done."

Asked if he would "do it," Mr. Trump said "I'll let you guess."

Also take a look at these two articles that are posted in good reads

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1016167469

Here is part of one of the articles

"Conway isn't the only person in her family who has worked to take down the Clintons. Her husband, George T. Conway III, a lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, was behind some of the most bitter lawsuits against Bill Clinton in the 1990s and stories that were promoted via the Drudge Report"

maybe its time for the smear to be over ?

A total mental lapse on his part. He can bring up Bill's infidelity and Hillary can end it by saying she is still married to the only husband she has ever had. I would think Trump would respect his children and not bring out his infidelity.

""As it turns out, some of the most serious damage to Bill Clinton's Presidency came not from his high-profile political enemies but from a small secret clique of lawyers in their 30's who share a deep antipathy toward the President, according to nearly two dozen interviews and recently filed court documents."

"While cloaking their roles, the lawyers were deeply involved -- to an extent not previously known -- for nearly five years in the Paula Jones sexual misconduct lawsuit. They then helped push the case into the criminal arena and into the office of the independent counsel, Kenneth W. Starr."

"The group's leader was Jerome M. Marcus,"

"George T. Conway 3d, a New York lawyer educated at Yale, shared Mr. Marcus's low view of President Clinton. When the Jones case led to Ms. Lewinsky, Mr. Marcus and Mr. Conway searched for a new lawyer for Mrs. Tripp. Mr. Marcus and Mr. Porter helped arrange for Mrs. Tripp to take her explosive allegations to Mr. Starr."

Below is from " Kellyanne Conway Takes on Toughest role yet : Trump 's Whisperer "

"Conway isn't the only person in her family who has worked to take down the Clintons. Her husband, George T. Conway III, a lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, was behind some of the most bitter lawsuits against Bill Clinton in the 1990s and stories that were promoted via the Drudge Report."

The New York Times article was written in 1999 , the second article was written this year ( aug ) . Both worth reading in regards to the smearing of the Clinton 's and wanting to " take down " or rather have them lose politically .

Who knows what really happened .... the only ones are the one involved

But the innocent spouse of a Democratic adulterer is guilty.
