Not content to make former President Bill Clinton's infidelities grounds for the unfitness of HRC to be POTUS, Trump tried the tactic of suggesting that Mrs. Clinton hasn't been faithful to her marriage.
"Hillary Clinton's only loyalty is to her financial contributors and to herself," Trump told a crowd in Pennsylvania over the weekend. "I don't even think she's loyal to Bill, if you want to know the truth. And really, folks, really, why should she be? Right? Why should she be?"
Tump himself didn't follow up. Guiliani did it for him. During an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," Giuliani again listed off of a series of names of women tied to Bill Clinton. When asked by Chuck Todd if he (Guiliani) were in the best position to make those accusations given his own well-publicized history of infidelity while in office as Mayor of New York City, Guiliani responded, "Everybody does. And I'm a Roman Catholic, and I confess those things to my priest."
Mind-boggling.
Worse, it's circular logic to the extent logic plays any part. If "everybody does," then why do Bill Clinton's infidelities reflect so badly on HRC?
Perhaps, in some twisted way, this candor is a good thing. There's no more pretense. Candidates can brush infidelity, smoking dope, and a host of social secrets aside and get down to issues. Not these particular candidates, but those in future.
When Bill's infidelities came into the spotlight, Hillary did a Tammy Wynette Stand By Your Man thing, which most considered noble. It could also have been a strategy if at that point she had ambitions to get to the White House. She had a large circle of friends and supporters and was not sitting at home waiting for Bill to come home wondering where he had been. The lives of celebrities, and high level politicians are not the same as middle class lives where the husband and wife always come home at the end of each day. They have events they go to all over the country and world and their spouse may not be involved in those activities. Could be charity functions etc. It's just different.
