Yeah I haven't looked into it myself enough to have an informed opinion. Only thing I can remember about the initial reporting is it was his wife, and Sanders was upset they were resorting to attacking his wife.
I think my father's WWII experience and the experience of growing up in the great depression molded his stances as Vietnam and the civil rights movement molded mine ......the media has overwhelmed most adults thinking process across the board....big reason I shut off the TV long ago..I've said before we need an election campaign that lasts 6 weeks...vote ...done...like most countries do....ours is tied to TV ratings and burns out candidates before they're sworn into office in my view..

I think Trump probably will have some competition in the primaries and someone who hasn't even been contemplated yet will probably win the Dems nomination. When Clinton and Obama won, they kind of came out of nowhere. Probably the same in 2020. Just my guess.
The other thing this country needs to do is get rid of the four year presidential term, along with the possibility of a second term. All these idiots do during their first term is run for a second term, so the focus isn't on the country's needs and issues, it's on raising money and trashing the opposition. We should make it a single six year term, with no reelection allowed. I'd like to think this would sharpen a president's attention on working for the country. If they weren't worried about reelection, maybe they'd be more open to taking some risks and making decisions that actually produce a positive result for all the people they represent (whether all those people voted for them or not). Right now, the first four years is pretty much wasted, and if they don't get reelected the country has to start all over again with someone new learning the ropes. 241 years in, it's time to adjust to the current realities instead of continuing to live in the eighteenth century......
HuffPost. Darling "news" site of the left. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...ign=zergnet_1893088&ncid=txtlnkusaolp00001376 Why Hillary Clinton Is Really Unpopular – Again She’s the first losing presidential candidate in 25 years with falling favorability ratings. Hillary Clinton is even less popular now than when she was running for president. Just 39 percent of Americans view Clinton favorably, according to a Bloomberg national poll conducted last week and released on Monday. A year ago, when Clinton was the presumptive Democratic nominee, her favorability was at 43 percent. The former secretary of state is viewed slightly more negatively than President Donald Trump, who has historically low poll numbers for a president this early in his administration. That puts Clinton at odds with every losing presidential candidate since 1992. Except for Clinton, the defeated candidate saw an increase in favorability ratings after Election Day, according to Gallup data. The Bloomberg poll didn’t get into reasons for Clinton’s decline in favorability. But there is, of course, one thing that sets her apart from the pack of failed candidates: Clinton is a woman. In follow-up interviews, Bloomberg poll respondents said their negative feelings about Clinton had nothing to do with her loss. Instead, they emphasized how unlikable they consider Clinton ― echoing the opinions of many voters during the 2016 campaign.
