I had no idea Juanita Broaddrick was a prominent Republican. What office did she hold? Congresswoman? Senator? Governor? First Lady?

Bill Clinton did not rape or harass prominent women. He preyed on those with far less power than himself and Hillary then threatened and intimidated most of them into keeping silent. Both of the Clintons have been serial abusers of women in their own way and those who vote for them are enablers.

"The accusers of Bill Clinton are straight up honest. The accusers of Donald Trump are low down skanks and liars." This is typical of the partisan, red or blue.

My point is not to defend Hillary nor slander Trump. Nor is it to marginalize or minimize legitimate differences on a wide array of issues between the Republicans and Democrats. It is to say that slime politics is practiced by both the DNC and RNC all down the line. The electronic media does not focus on the gigantic issues facing us, as it is easier to get ratings reporting on the tawdry and banal. It is easier, I guess, for the public to understand a Congressman sending a photo of himself in his skivvies than for a nuanced discussion about foreign policy.
