    Bill Clinton absolutely should be investigated and by no means should he be president again after that information came out. He also happens to be ineligible for life because of having held two terms, but I and many democratic voters would prefer to hear that he’s being investigated.

    The difference between him and trump though, is trump is running for president.

      We can call out Trump’s crimes without ignoring everyone else’s. It absolutely disgusts me to read the interference ya’ll are running for literal rapists. And that you think it’s acceptable because “Trump is running for office,” is insane. No.

      Trump is running for president, yeah, but Clinton was actually the president when this happened. The court cases are literally ongoing.

        I’m saying we, the voters, should be focused on the one who’s running for president when tomorrow is Election Day. We can go after bill on Thursday. On Thursday I won’t mind people screaming about bill’s crimes so long as it’s not calls to prosecute unrelated democrats.

        And I should add, both of these people were President.

          Cool, but when you dismiss or ignore these very real concerns instead of just using verbiage that acknowledges and accepts it, then you lose voters because they perceive you as a liar.

          And I meant that Bill was president while on the plane.

            And when you say anything bad about a democrat on the first Monday of November in a leap year when the stakes are this damn high you’re going to be perceived as engaging in whataboutism.

            I don’t want to defend bill Clinton. To be honest, I hate the man. He’s a pedo or at least was ok with it. He sexually violated Ms. Lewinsky from a position of power. And he’s been the easy target against the only political party that believes I deserve to be treated decently. Both of those men have engaged in sex crimes. And neither is likely to go to prison for them. This is a hard situation to argue around. So yeah, maybe we both could’ve articulated better from the start.
