Some female pundit, awhile ago, I forget where, said the thing about Trump that's a detriment as far as women voters is - he reminds them of their ex-husbands.

That was THE GOOD OLD DAYS. People loved those days and women like Bill.
Tragic childish mistake but we have to realize that he is just doing a wrestling a thick and repeating the talk radio inside jokes that no one else gets.

On edit. This is a really good short read.

Repuke men, especially those from the sticks, have a cruel and sadistic streak and enjoy the personal humiliation. I know because I've personally seen them in action.

Suburban women, not so much, especially if it reflects on their kids.

Gennifer was an opportunist; Monica made a foolish decision with her heart. She was very naive. When it came to Gennifer, Bill was the naive one.

Monica wouldn't do it if she was asked. She made a really dumb mistake when she was in her early 20s. Now she is in her early 40s and has moved on with her life.

This won't help Trump with female voters. It just makes Hillary look sympathetic. She was a wife who was cheated on like many other wives and husbands.

marriage has a front row seat to see, arguably, the most powerful woman in the world (or will be most powerful when elected) -- or, rather, a woman who is about to be the most powerful person in the world.

Also, think about the "connections" these two candidates have: a successful businessman/billionaire and a, well, a cheatin' fourth rate bar singer.

I meant HRC has a businessman/billionaire in Mark Cuban coming. And then djt has this b___o uh, umm, bar singer coming.

I just accidentally pressed something that made the animated emoticons come up. So I had to use one! I had been wondering how to access those. Actually, I'm still wondering, 'cause I'm not sure what I did to make them come up!

Anyway, have a great day!

He thinks he is humiliating her by bringing her husband's ex-mistress. As always, as has happened for a million years, men always think that the way to humiliate women is thru their sexuality somehow. I've seen other posts that have said, she couldn't satisfy her husband how can she satisfy the country...or even by Michelle Obama - she couldn't manage her house, how can she manage the country (during 2008 primary!).

It is hard to believe that Kellyanne approves of this. I think she understands women and see that this is not a good idea. Where did this come from, Ailes? What about Trump's children? How embarrassing for them. They were around when he was dating Maples before his divorce. I think this will backfire. I remember there was a lot of sympathy during the Monica days.
