2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I'm feeling a little angry towards Hillary right now. [View all]Uncle Joe
(58,342 posts)during the 92 campaign for "bimbo eruptions" and it never ceased throughout his Presidency and what did he do but give them all the justification they needed when he abandoned any concept about "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" (theme song from the 92 Democratic Convention) with the Lewinsky Affair in 1998.
Bill simply didn't care about how this could/would damage Gore's run in 2000, he even went so far as to bring Al into his own personal scandal, having him stand on the White House Lawn and publicly defend him from the accusation during the height of impeachment, knowing full well that he had lied to the people with his "I did not have sexual relations with that woman Monica Lewinsky!"
The nation would've been much better off if Bill had either admitted the truth upfront or at the very least just kept his mouth shut instead of lying about it and then compounding that by bringing Al into it.
Thanks for the thread, madaboutharry.
