    The difference between the Edwards and Drumpf cases is the money used to pay off Stormy was meant to influence the election while the money used by Edwards was used for expenses related to having a mistress. Campaign finance laws prohibit the expensing of any costs that “would exist even in the absence of the candidacy.” That is why Giuliani keeps saying Drumpf would have spent the money to keep Stormy quiet regardless of the upcoming election..........which is of course......ridiculous.

    Your 18 women most of whom disappeared right after the election, and most of whose stories didn't add up.

    If you ask something worthwhile, I will respond, but we know who the religious right vote for. The fanciful boogyman of a kenyan muslim is a Christian right fabrication, and so that is why it gets jammed down their collective throat.

    Some suggest there is no Christian religious right, because the term (as it should be) is pejorative.

    They want to be called socially conservative evangelicals. Expand that to include fundies, penties, Mormonies, etc.

    Some want to deny their is a Christian religious right.

    Just laugh, pat them on the head, and pass on by.

    Yes. "The Epitome of hypocrisy": Eric Schneiderman.

    "Last month, when the Times and this magazine were awarded a joint Pulitzer Prize for coverage of sexual harassment, Schneiderman issued a congratulatory tweet, praising “the brave women and men who spoke up about the sexual harassment they had endured at the hands of powerful men.” Without these women, he noted, “there would not be the critical national reckoning under way.”

    Now Schneiderman is facing a reckoning of his own. As his prominence as a voice against sexual misconduct has risen, so, too, has the distress of four women with whom he has had romantic relationships or encounters. They accuse Schneiderman of having subjected them to nonconsensual physical violence."

    THE NEW YORKER, Four Women Accuse New York’s Attorney General of Physical Abuse, Eric Schneiderman has raised his profile as a voice against sexual misconduct. Now, after suing Harvey Weinstein, he faces a #MeToo reckoning of his own., By Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow, 5/7/18.

    What a crock of gerbil poop you offer up.

    What about Billy boy Clinton wagging his finger at the public and openly lying when he said" I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewnsky, in the Oval Office" What about the Democrat Womans Rights Icon Eric Schneiderman who likes to beat the crap out of his girlfriends and use racial epithets against them.

    I consider the Democrat Party and its supporters to be the liars and the hypocrites for condemning a wonderful man like President Trump while they have all of these mysoginist rats infecting their party hierarchy.

    If you want a black eye - see a democrat - if you want a real man - see a Republican

    Bill Clinton did do his best to boost the Republican Party, but he is not likely to run for office again.

    Schneiderman or Kerry might be almost as good for the GOP as another Clinton DP presidential candidate. Tough choice.

    Criticism of Obama hasn't reached a level even in the same stratosphere as Trump. FOX News and talk radio vs the MSM and Hollywood? You thinks that's comparable? Can't find video of people crying in terror when Obama was elected. No one of value claiming the world was going to end or they'd move out. Can't find nightly talk shows insulting Obama every night. The slavish devotion as you put it for Trump also isn't in the same category as Obama. No school children singing songs about Trump. Kids singing songs about a president. Not singing to him. A song ABOUT him. No Peace Prize for simply being elected. Trumps wife didn't' say for the first time in her life she's proud of her country. Same woman who graduated Ivy League and was a lawyer...total ingrate.

    Remember, Obama got us Trump. If he wasn't the disaster that he was, Trump wouldn't have run. He'd still be buying and selling real estate and banging strippers.

    Talking about Clinton is loser talk.

    Talking about Edwards is loser talk.

    Excusing Trump is loser talk.

    Excusing 'our' sin for 'their' sin is loser talk.

    We had a chance to pick a good GOPer, and we screwed the pooch. Actually we let the pooch screw us.

    The GOP is going to get scoured this fall, and it should.

    We will have another chance in 2020, and the GOP better not blow it.

    Boy Trump knew his base. A wonderful man? A wonderful man doesn’t grab women by their *******. A wonderful man doesn’t go into teenage girls locker rooms “because he can. Oh wonderful man doesn’t lie to the Americans thousands of times ....Trump said how his base would defend him no matter what..and he said he loved the uneducated.
    You keep your misogynists and not only do you keep them you reelect them, we kick them out

    What do you mean "WE".

    "WE" are not the GOP alone - "WE" are Republicans and Democrats and Independants.

    President Trump was elected by "WE" and he will be re-elected by "WE"

    Until a BETTER Presidential candidate comes along, "WE" will continue to support any and all "populists" who stand solidly behind the Trump agenda.

    Blah, blah, blah. Schneiderman has been beating on woman for years - it was well known and it was hidden - the Democrat hierarchy are a bunch of hypocrites who allowed his brutality against women to continefor for nothing more than political gain.

    Clinton was a well known womanizer - it was well known, but he was still elected and re-elected as president - because he was EFFECTIVE.
    President Trump earned the name of a playboy a long time ago. And this bimbo is the only woman coming forward. Could it be that President Trump is a class act?

    Meanwehile, just like Clinton, President Trump is EFFECTIVE and will be re-elected.

    The "slavish devotion" for Trump is his supporters unwilling to hold this man to account no matter his despicable behavior. You are quite correct in stating Trump isn't in the same category as Obama. You may not like Obama's policies, but you cannot fault the decency and fidelity of the man. Unless, that is, you have a slavish devotion to Trump.

    Same oligarch Mueller's team stopped in the airport.
    If this is true it's bad news for the Trump team.
    At the least it's a violation of Russian sanctions.

    You've just drove your argument into the ditch.

    Conservatives defended Edwards on the merits of the case in regards to FEC rules. The situation with Trump is similar. For you guys, there are no merits, simply my team and the enemy.

    In other words, you're a hypocrite.

    How appropriate (Cohen received $500K immediately after the election from a Russian oligarch connected to Russian intel and government agencies) that the sleaziest and most divisive president in American history will be taken down by a porn queen.

    The charge with Edwards was that it was to influence the election and the fact is if it was then it would have been required to have been paid out of the campaign and have fun proving that had Trump not been running for President and Daniels had tried to extort him over her having sex with him would not have also resulted in a payment to her and an agreement to silence. How do you prove that?

    His decency was all a mask though. Under the facade was someone more interested in sowing discord under the guise of Hope and Change. Change NOT for the better. His change led us to Trump. If Hillary wasn’t simply OBama 2.0 in an even worse skin maybe we could have avoided Trump.

    We didn’t defend Edwards for the same reason we don’t defend Trump. Don’t project onto us your mean-spiritedness
