    There's a lot of room between "publicly condemn her husband" and "go nuclear re: any/all of his accusers." But, sure, I'm sure her beliefs re: "genuine victims of sexual assault" are just fine. Her (apparently) working definition of a "genuine victim of sexual assault" as "someone accusing someone other than my husband" leaves a bit to be desired, though.

    That's why I'm wavering in my support for him.

    She was an active participant in the campaign to destroy these women's credibility.

    That's not some neutral stance, where she simply didn't publicly condem him.

    How many times has Hillary been accused under oath of brutally hate-raping her ex-spouse?

    She likely felt that some were worthy of condemnation. Maybe she was right?

    Paula Jones' idiot husband certainly was.

    Hmmmmm ... Last I checked, "some" implies "not all" ...

    Well, Trump married one of Bill's alleged mistresses, so he's right smack dab in the middle of this as well.

    Right. "Some" was the word I selected. And while it implies "not all" it certainly doesn't imply agreement with the accusations of others about which she may have remained silent.

    FYI, for the purpose of this thread, my use of the word "some" should also imply I didn't keep a scorecard and I'm not about to go back and research all the various accusations that were made and weigh their potential veracity with consideration of the political motivations behind them.

    In short, I stopped giving a fuck somewhere around the turn of the millennium.

    I'm sorry, but you can't pretend to be concerned about rape culture, and women's rights, and not think the Clintons contributed to the former and robbed Bill's victims of the latter.

    Alleged victims.
