And anyway, does this new moral standard mean Republicans think it was cool for Bill to screw interns in his office, since Roger Ailes was doing it? Personally I still think it was shameful but I guess I'm guilty of double standard thinking.
If Bill would have done 13 yo's and slapped them across the face the GOP would be a bit more supportive- but his was consensual and (as far as known) other adults.
Also, if Clinton ran a news outlet that spewed hate and blood he would also be more accepted by the right.
I'd be very interested in knowing Trump's IQ, since it's been said repeatedly that he's not even capable of explaining the healthcare plan, and he's clearly unable to understand the basics of the Constitution.
For that matter, I'd like to see his college transcripts. Supposedly, he was a mediocre student.
On the other hand, Obama was smart enough not only to make it into Harvard, but made Law Review, and Bill Clinton was Phi Beta Kappa and a Rhodes scholar.

By today's workplace & government standards, Bill Clinton committed sexual assault and harrassment on the intern. Doesn't matter if she agreed to it or not.
What a mess! Indeed he is targeting "America First". Too bad he seems unable to have a more positive influence.
"What started yesterday as an undignified personal spat between Donald Trump and the hosts of a cable news show has morphed into something much more sinister - allegations of White House machinations that tread ever so close to outright blackmail.
If what Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough say is true, they were the targets of political dark arts reminiscent of the schemes of the Watergate "fixers" during the Nixon White House. Could Trump aides have really used the threat of an embarrassing story in a tabloid newspaper to pressure the two hosts to provide more favourable coverage?
The Trump administration will surely deny the charges, although the president himself lent some corroboration by tweeting that Scarborough asked him to tell the National Enquirer to bury an article about him.
That the president said he rejected such a request only raises more questions about the editorial control Mr Trump may have over a newspaper that routinely targeted his political opponents in 2016."
I did. Yet you keep arguing that Mika & Trump should be treated differently for behavior that you describe as "indefensible". The only difference between the two is that Mika started it. If she had not, then Trump would have paid her no mind.
And there in lies the irony. You have been talking about MSNBC all day. Good day for Mika too.
You are still dancing around it all.
Forget this equivalency thing. What do you think of Trump doing this? Is it appropriate for a president, any president, to act like this?
Start there. Forget this "She started it" nonsense. Look at the act itself. Should a President say those things officially (as his tweets have been deemed official communications) to his citizens?
And I have put forth things that could happen to Mika for talking like this. If you are equating their actions, Trump should be held to the same possibilities happening to him.
He was tweeting before the election and you guys were complaining about it then too.
He wasn't the President then!!! Lord. He even SAID he would stop tweeting because it's not presidential. (Here's a reminder)
