2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumGennifer Flowers is 66 years old. Two years younger than Hillary Clinton.
So, Deplorable is going to plant this mature lady in the debate audience. She has an ancient history of an affair with Bill Clinton. This is Deplorable's attempt to humiliate his opponent, and deflect from addressing our national issues. How pathetic and frankly stupid, as this tactic has always and always will, backfire. Just saying.

(26,259 posts)We all know how certain words can set off a posting fire storm! It's been kind of peaceful around here, lately. At least when I've been on the site.
My Dad always said you can't prevent aging, but you can prevent getting 'old'.

(26,259 posts)Because, in general, 66 just isn't 'old' anymore. And from the photos I've seen of Ms Flowers, she's doing her best to avoid looking old, too.

(13,069 posts)She is so bitter that she cannot let go of something that happened decades ago. SHE should have "gone high" and refused to be a part of the disgusting sexist bullshit.

She been disinvited. So no check for her.

(15,220 posts)Ms. Flowers, in my opinion, is not a victim. She has profited well from her revelation (i.e., she is the one who chose to go public) of a relationship with Bill Clinton. She chose to engage in the affair. The tapes she used to assert her claim were questioned as to their authenticity, and at one point even Ms. Flowers admitted they were "heavily edited".
Should Bill Clinton have been having an affair? Absolutely not. Could Ms. Flowers have been hurt by her participation in such an affair? Absolutely. But her actions beyond the revelation of the affair are telling.
Hillary is the victim here, and Hillary has handled all of this with strength, grace and dignity.
I don't think it will serve Trump well to try to reignite interests in Bill Clinton's sexual escapades. Big Dawg has simply done enough good beyond those days that most people don't deem his past all that important.

(4,840 posts)Whereas Bill's affair with Flowers is old news. Trump's response is the equivalent of throwing an old tabloid from the 90's on the table.
Cuban knows Trump is hiding something and Trump must know it too, otherwise why consider Cuban's presence a threat?
