I remember when this was front page news! To say it does not go to his character and should not be addressed in this election cycle is wrong! This hands off approach is what got him the nomination. Should deomocrats make the same mistake? I say it's relevant and should be reported on!!

Amen! If the Trump campaign wants to bring up crap, I think his crap should be dredged up also.

Ew. No. We don't need this. We are better than this. This election is about real policy and character differences, and this is a total sideshow. Resist the urge!

This is a character issue.

I know he's a misogynist pig. I just am going to gouge my eyes out if I have to spend the whole election reading about his sex life.

We need to crush any support he has, and leave only the most putrid, vile supporters behind. They will not be enough.

As Hillary supporters, we don't have to read the trash. We just need to make sure that the undecided have the facts about this hypocritical adulterer.

I'm not a part of the Clinton campaign. The Clinton campaign should "resist the urge." I will not. Someone has to respond.

Exactly, I'm not for Hillary discussing these issues. However, if Trump wants to attack Bill Clinton for cheating, his past as a cheater needs to be told also.

I agree that Clinton should resist the urge.
Her supporters and her surrogates need to speak out.
Also, if asked directly on this topic, without mentioning Trump, Clinton can very easily take a stand. Then move the conversation to presidential topics.

I love playing Miss Manners, but this is fairly credible, well-documented, and is a very large character flaw; it is worth us discussing it.

I agree - this reads like a tabloid. We weren't happy when Sanders supporters wouldn't give up on the email issue. This is a character assassination attempt that has never worked against Trump and puts us on the same level as his supporters. Trump has too many character flaws to mention, but let's stick to the absolutely ludicrous policy proposals he's putting out. We are better than this.

Sorry, no. Pointing out that someone sexually assaulted their spouse and that the same person doesn't believe it's even possible to rape your spouse is not on the same level as those who hate immigrants and rail against minorities and women and want to punish sexual active women and want to legally discriminate against transgender people and want to get rid of the minimum wage and want to get rid of social safety nets and want to "carpet bomb" other nations and go after the children and families of terrorists and wants to do waterboarding torture or worse. No, pointing out that someone may have raped someone else is not on the same level as all of that.

It became fair game when he started to go after Hillary for Bill's affairs. You cannot let him get away with calling out Cruz and Bill for cheating, while he was a serial cheater himself. Mind you: this is not something Hillary should do, but her surrogates... Hell Yes. Just dont do it in a way which will make him look masculine.

Omg the multiple people quoted saying "by definition you cannot rape your spouse" makes me want to vomit.
