It might have something to do with his wife recently running for the office and threatening to run again.

Right, lying under oath (perjury). Also obstructing justice and witness tampering.

Agreed, but well-read does not necessarily make for a good executive. Woodrow Wilson remains our only PhD president. He was president of Princeton. He was a disaster.

Lying under oath in the context of a sexual harassment case (Paula Jones). Where is the #MeToo crowd? Virtually nowhere to be found.

Everybody loves Trump because they think America should be ONLY for white, straight, fundamentalist Christians. Everyone else can go f**k themselves.

Hillary Clinton is not "threatening" to run again - the only statements she's made are to say that she's not going to run.

But in any case, whether she runs or not, she's not Bill Clinton, any more than Melania Trump is the current President.

And as noted, the impeachment was for lying under oath. Trump of course it too much of a coward to testify under oath in the current investigation into his doings, which are FAR more serious and significant than Clinton's sexual indiscretions.
So you don't expect more/expect better behavior from the President than from a run of the mill Congress critter ?

(I didn't vote for Trump, and I used to look at Bill's 'escapades' the way you seem to....and I voted for Bill twice)

I'm bothered by hypocrisy. Bill Clinton was a cheater, and if he were my husband, I probably would have divorced him (but know from the personal experiences of friends that sometimes it's easier to say that in the abstract than it is when faced with the situation in reality). But Bill Clinton wasn't hypocritically preaching "family values" and trying to impeach other politicians for their sex life at the same time they were cheating on their own spouse.

And in any case, as I've already said, my concern isn't that Donald Trump cheated on Melania (not to mention that she'd have to be a moron to have not expected he would anyway). It's whether he broke any laws as part of an attempt to cover up that cheating. Among other things.

But no, I don't expect the President to be other than a flawed human, same as everyone else including other politicians. I don' have a different standard just because they got elected to a different office.

Oh, so Melania is now being judged by the fact that her husband is an admitted sexual assaulter who also slept with a porn star? Funny but I don't see that. Judging Hillary Clinton for Bill Clinton's actions is not even remotely the same as judging Melania Trump for Melania's own actions.

There is a delusional person here, but it's not me. And it's not hilarious and entertaining, it's scary that the brainwashing of Cult45 is so deep.
