ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Ignoring his own sexually aggressive predilections, Donald Trump wants voters to see Bill Clinton as a scandal-plagued cad whose history with women should disqualify Hillary Clinton from the presidency.

The argument doesn't seem to resonate with America's youngest voters, who know the 70-year-old former president as a figure out of history books and don't seem to care about his Oval Office affair with Monica Lewinsky or other marital infidelities. Many of them describe the white-topped, bespectacled grandfather more as Hillary's famous husband than a central figure to consider as they weigh their 2016 ballot.

And, why wouldn't they be there for Hillary?!

Hearing voting for Hillary is so heavy in Ohio that some precincts have been running out of ballots! Such good news! (Yes, they'll vote.) https://twitter.com/omerizer/status/786182544123396096 …

Trudge on trump.

[BlueStreak]

1. Trump is an idiot. Going after Bill is a stupid strategy.

He has surrounded himself with professional Clinton-haters. These people all have their heads up their asses, blinded by hate.

Here's the simple truth:

If you are old enough to have been an adult in the 90s, then you already got damn sick of Kenneth Starr. And you also remember that all 4 of these ladies were out then and Starr could never make any chargers stick. Nobody wants to go back down that path because Bill ain't running.

And if you are not old enough to remember that, it is completely irrelevant. Again, if Bill were running for something, then maybe it would be an issue, but he isn't.

Trump thinks he's being clever by trying to turn this into "Aha, what makes it relevant is that Hillary stood by her man." That's ridiculous. That's admirable of Hillary. This whole thing is stupid beyond belief.

[Cha]

3. Good analysis, BlueStreak.. Thank you!

So right.. it's very good news that the Millennials don't care.. It's damn sure people our age don't.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

8. +1 nt

[Cha]

21. Gracias, PPN!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

41. But it's the excuse most trumpanzees use

[Terra Alta]

2. I was born in 1981 and among the oldest millennials

I was in high school when the Lewinsky scandal broke. Didn't care about it then, care even less about it now. At least what happened between Bill and Monica was consensual; Trump is on tape bragging about assaulting women.

[bravenak]

4. Me too, same age

My stepdad was super into it, even though he had cheated on his first wife a bunch, called bill immoral. I think that's why I just did not care about the Lewinskigate scandal. Bunch of hypocrites were all hyped up.

[Cha]

6. "Consenual" is the key word..

Thank you, Terra Alta.. not the same @ all.

[bravenak]

5. None of the kids at my school seems to care

My and the other older adults are caring about TrumpRape tho

[Cha]

7. This is good news, brave.. trump camp wants to turn Bill into..

9. Trump is totally stupid for this

It backfired big time, lol

[Cha]

11. It's so trump.

How Trump's health smear of Clinton backfired

(CNN) — Did Donald Trump actually believe that raising baseless accusations about the health of Hillary Clinton, who is two years his junior, will somehow cause people to stop supporting her and side with him or a third party candidate?

Even Trump's new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, seemed to disavow this new health smear, telling CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday night that the approach by campaign surrogates was a "strategy" that was not her "style"

[rusty quoin]

10. The only thing that Ken Starr could make stick was a blue dress, and he ran with it.

So the republicans have been so proud to impeach a president for lying about a blow job.

A republican congress did that.

So now Hillary is somehow responsible for that blow job?

David Vitter, when you visited D.C. Madam prostitutes, it was your wife's fault.

He got a standing ovation, from republicans, when he returned to the Senate.

[Cha]

37. That's all the pathetic sexual predator trump

has to offer, rusty. Alleged scandal on Hillary's husband from the '90s.

That's all he's got in his total world wide meltdown.

[Democat]

12. Trump won't speak to a woman, he speaks to the man of the house

Sexist pig.

[Cha]

38. Oh that he is, Democrat. Apologies to pigs.

Thank you!

[Cha]

13. Trum''s last-ditch strategy: Drag Clinton down into the pig slop with him

In other words, Trump and his advisers have concluded that the sex tape probably closes off the option of winning back voters “outside the core of his support,” as the Journal puts it, which means, of course, suburban swing voters and college-educated whites, particularly women. Now his only remaining hope is to slime up Clinton as much as possible and hope for a magically super-sized turnout among angry white working class men driven into a frenzy by Trump’s theatrics.

[DemonGoddess]

14. My adult children also agree

they don't CARE what Bill did in the past, other than the fact that he hurt his wife with his infidelities. Thing is, I voted for him twice KNOWING he was what we call at home a "man-whore", because you know what? HE did his JOB. He was a good President, lax zipper control notwithstanding.

The one fact that my grown kids keep coming back to? At least with Bill, it was CONSENSUAL.

So, the Rethug insistence that this will somehow tarnish HRC is utter shit. She handled a humiliating experience very publicly and with grace. Which also goes to prove the POINT of her strength of character and indomitable will.

[Cha]

15. Yes, Hillary handled the public humiliation with strength

and dignity DemonGoddess. A trait that is hers.

Good to hear about your adult kids!

And, you don't have to be a millennium to be there for Hillary.. not Bill.

16. This whole argument about Bill is the clear indication that Trump has NOTHING ELSE. Busted on ideas.

[Scurrilous]

44. Yep.

[Hekate]

17. This is really encouraging. Thanks, Cha!

[Cha]

18. It is so encouraging, Hekate! Just watching President Obama

campaigning for Hillary in Greensboro, North Carolina.

No wonder trump is whining..

Trump tweet: .@realDonaldTrump: "Why the hell is Obama allowed to campaign for Hillary Clinton?"

lol.. Obama's tearing him a new one on him not paying taxes and just popping off!

[BlueStreak]

32. WTF? Trump complains that people are campaigning for Hillary?

The question is why will nobody campaign for Trump.

[Cha]

43. Yeah, he wonders where the former gop President is

campaigning for him.

[DeminPennswoods]

19. Josh Marshall made the same point

that bringing up these women from the past fell absolutely flat.

[Cha]

20. Thanks for the news, DeminPneeswoods!

[brer cat]

22. Yes!

Thanks, Cha.

[Cha]

24. Thank you, brer cat!

With all the news of trump planning to "turn Bill Clinton into Bill Cosby.." this is good news to shove back @ the psycho predator fans.

[mcar]

23. Glad to hear this

Did you see that Liberty University students released a statement criticizing the school president, Falwell Jr, for his support of Trump?

[Cha]

27. No, I didn't see that..

That's grand! Some sanity in their world. Shame on falwell for still supporting trump the sexual pervert. Who's lying his head off about it now that he's busted.

Mahalo, mcar!

[mcar]

31. And these religious leaders all condemned B Clinton back when

But when Trumpy is a perv, it's all good.

[Cha]

34. Except these students.. I just found this... it is strong!

Liberty University Students Push Back Against Trump Surrogate, Jerry Falwell Jr

The last few months have seen the name of Liberty University, and the name of its founder, Jerry Falwell, Sr. drug through the mud, scorned and ridiculed, all because the school president, Jerry Falwell Jr. has become an immovable, deluded shill for an unrepentant profaner, abuser, and adulterer by the name of Donald J. Trump.

This is where I remind people that, unlike his father, Jerry Falwell Jr. is not a pastor. He is a lawyer. And a mercenary.

Just the kind of guy who would see the benefit in rolling in the stench of Trump.

While Falwell Jr. has pushed Trump relentlessly, it has not been so for the student body.

Now, the students of Liberty have formed Liberty United Against Trump, and have released a powerful statement of where they stand on this albatross that their school president has attempted to stain them with.

36. Thank you.. didn't think about that..

[Retired George]

25. I don't know many millenials (I'm 66)

The few I do know couldn't give a shit about what happened in the 90s.

[Cha]

30. Thanks George! Millennials are looking to

the future not the past. And, they're smart enough to know that trump isn't good for anyone's future.

[gademocrat7]

26. Millennials get it.

Hillary is running for office not her husband.

[Cha]

46. trump is so dumb.. he thinks everyone else

thinks like he does.

[Ligyron]

28. Get this:

It's been revealed that the strategy in bringing up Bill Clinton's alleged past indiscretions is to discourage his wife's supporters so much that they won't want to vote - period.

Genius move Bannon! Please proceed...

This, and Trump attacking the women coming forward to confirm the stories of groping, kissing and basically everything he bragged about to Billy Bush and Howard Stern concerning his sexual assaults will only bring out more and more women to vote against him and for Hillary.

[yallerdawg]

29. Trump surrogates are saying Millenials never heard of this stuff about Clinton.

Since American History taught in our schools ("their" schools) apparently ends with Ronald Reagan?

[gemlake]

33. Bill isn't on the ticket

Plus there's no tape of Bill Clinton bragging about sexual assault.

[Scurrilous]

39. K & R

40. Mahalo, Scurrilous!

[Scurrilous]

42. ...

[herding cats]

45. Using Bill against Hillary has always been a bad strategy, and the Republicans knew it was.

Months before Russert raised the question during that debate, Republicans hoping to block the former first lady from capturing a New York Senate seat had reached a similar conclusion as Fallon. Then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had flirted with making a Senate run of his own. And his aides convened a voter focus group to test out prospective issues and lines of attack.

Longtime GOP operative Rick Wilson had another veteran Republican hand ― Frank Luntz ― conduct the group. As Wilson recalls, women took the attacks against Bill as “totally out of bounds.” It wasn’t just Democrats, but Republicans too.

“It was a totally ineffective attack in moving voters to Rudy, even if they weren’t pissed off and offended,” Wilson emailed. “It made [Clinton] more likable and we even had people saying things like, ‘Well, she deserves to be a Senator after how badly Bill treated her.’”

The responses could hardly have been mind-blowing. During Bill Clinton’s impeachment hearings, Hillary Clinton’s favorability ratings had skyrocketed. She was the most admired woman in Gallup’s 1998 poll, with a number that had doubled from the previous year and dwarfed second-place finisher Oprah (28 percent to 8 percent).

Still, the Luntz focus group was a bright red flag that the Clinton marriage, and all its complications, was not to be broached in the electoral arena. While Giuliani ultimately passed on making a run, Lazio largely followed that advice.

Which was why they avoided it when she was running for Senate. It makes her even more liked, and people feel empathy for her when they go there.

Trump is running the worst campaign in history, which seems fitting since he appears to be the worst candidate in history.

[Cha]

47. Thank you for that, herding cats!

Donald Trump Goes After The Clintons’ Marital History At His Own Peril

He tried to bring Bill's accusers into his private box and the debate commission said NO.. now he's mad at them. But he's threatening to sue the NYT because they're giving his accusers a platform. Hot damn.. I love it that he's finally on the defensive every time he turns around.

He's like a big stupid, bozo, psycho predator.. no decent human being would even want to be around anymore.

Mahalo~
