The truth is, he left before his degree was completed.

There is no proof whatsoever that he raped anyone. Despite asking around his colleagues and peers.

Couldn't find anything to support that he left because of a rape allegation.

Pretty sad to see the excuse used for Trump is "well Bill Clinton did it!!111!!!"

Um, so wingnuts are outraged by Clinton's behavior from 18 - 26+ years ago, and so with moral outrage firmly intact they then vote a guy into office who has done as much or more than the guy who they're still pointing to 18 years after he left office?

A guy who has cheated hundreds of people, conned partners, sued multiple times (and lost), declared bankruptcy, was heard by everyone saying, "do anything you want... grab 'em by the p**s*y." Knowing this candidate had multiple affairs, cheated on every single wife, had numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, with filed affidavits... knowing all this, you then do what? Vote that guy into office because he'll do what? Oh yeah, "make America great again." How's that go again? Something about not learning from one's mistakes and being a hypocrite.

When you have to point to a guy who hasn't been in office in 18 years and claim "well he did it!!" as a way of trying to make the current sleazebag somehow look less so... you've lost that argument and every argument you'll make related.

All this talk of affairs and illicit sex reminds me of something that stuck with me since Bill Clinton's days as President.

When Bill Clinton was caught with his hand under any number of dresses, or could have been pant suites as well I guess, the defense of his actions that stuck with me all these years voiced from some of his supporters....."Well, we're not electing the Pope-In-Chief here".

I guess that sums it all up for me :-) If we have such low standards for one, why not the rest of them too ?

Not quite there but getting perilously close.

Cheating on his wife and lying about it is one of the few areas where Trump really stands out as acting Presidential.

so here is the question...do you believe the woman making the allegation...or do we look at it like Hillary, and all these girls are tramps and seduced the innocent bill???
No, it means the allegations are just that...unproven. Meaning, there is nothing that points to there being any truth to the allegations.

From that very same Snopes findings:
Quote:
All in all, the rumors about Bill Clinton’s having been expelled from Oxford over a rape allegation appear to have stemmed from a single uncorroborated, anonymous second-hand report published on a web site of dubious repute in 1999, combined with mere speculation about Clinton’s having departed Oxford prior to the completion of a full two-year course of study. We haven’t yet turned up anything that would counter the notion that the “Eileen Wellstone” claim was simply a fabrication made up in 1999.


It's funny how some people want to believe this as being 100% factual, even though there's no reliable truth here....but want to dismiss every allegations against Trump as being fake news.

I liked Melania's white pantsuit a lot - along with her solo arrival and entrance, and very measured clapping and often stony face, it made quite a resonant statement. It was interesting that she neither rose nor applauded when Trump cited family and religious values.

I enjoy symbolism and cultural references, be those references historic or more recent.

I agree that Melania seems much happier away from D.C. I hope someday soon she will no longer have to live in the Swamp.

Just sayin'.

I heard that publicity crazed porn star denied the affair with Trump. I wouldn't believe anything a porn star says.

So, you think she DID have an affair with Trump??

Yet they're not condemning Melania for staying with Donald Trump, are they now? Hm?
The difference is Trump is a Republican. He poops flowers and walks on water.
