I just noticed you called her, his escort. Classy.
Seems fair. She did marry an old man because he's rich. And she doesn't leave him despite it being well-documented that he cheats on her. Trump himself has said they don't sleep in the same bed.
That fucking escort Hillary couldn’t win the most winnable election then.
Given that Bill was neither older nor wealthy when they married, I’m not sure your analogy holds.
no, but it could be argued that the only reason she stays with him is to forward her career just as much as anyone can argue that melania is a gold digger.
Is there any evidence of that, though? I think there’s actually plenty to the contrary.
Well she stays with Bill even though he cheats, and she's gone after the women that have accused him of sexual assault. Sounds more like a political partnership than a marriage and it might have led to a perception that she's not a leader since she's so bound to her powerful husband. The thought of divorce had to cross her mind when it became worldwide news that Bill was getting blowjobs from an intern. But it's in her best political interest to be Bill Clinton's wife.
Because being married to Bill Clinton is was got her elected to the US Senate? Or nominated and confirmed as SOS? What’s Melania’s comparable achievements?

you don't think being first lady had ANYTHING to do with her subsequent political success?
He stands side by side with dictator murderers corrupt heads of state and criticises our own Generals and admirals of armed forces , please justify your voting for this criminal president ....

Why are you bringing up Melania? She's a gold-digging whore with no achievements to speak of.
As for Hillary, yes, being Bill Clinton's wife was very helpful for her in becoming a Senator, SOS, and the democratic nominee. That's not to say he did it for her, or that her own talents and know-how weren't a factor, because of course they were. But if she divorced him in the late 90's, like any self-respecting woman would, she would not be as popular with the democratic electorate, and then maybe she doesn't ascend to those posts.

I disagree with the bolded part. lots of people cheat and the couple is able to work through it. it is not a matter of self respect.

Yeah lots of people have given me that response and I don't argue because to each their own. My mother actually used to say it back in high school when I would make this claim against Hillary. But for me personally, if my wife ever cheated on me, I would never respect myself if I stayed with her. That's just me. But I don't begrudge people that do stay with their cheating spouses. But in the case of Hillary, who wanted to be the leader of the country, it wasn't a good look for her (to me). I still voted for her because...well...look at the other option. But when trying to pinpoint a reason why she lost white women in the election, I've kept coming back to this: that those women that voted against her either didn't respect her for staying with Bill, or didn't respect how she tried to ruin his sexual-assault accusers.
Dandruff Bernie... weak Hillary can't even get up the stairs... Hillary took a poo before the debates... etc.
Come on. When you wrestle with pigs... you get dirty.
And nobody is taking their eye of the ball when poking fun at a regime that makes it impossible not to poke fun at. This stuff is just 'side stuff' for shits and giggles. We've all got time to laugh at Trump for everything we can laugh at him for including his physicality: he said his body is better than Tom Brady so he's confident (he can handle it) and it's par for the course given who he's mocked with the microphone in hand.

I think Hillary accomplished much of what she accomplished because of her hard work and intelligence. Did Bill get her into Yale law school? Did Bill get her appointed to the house staff investigating Watergate? Did Bill write her opinions when she worked for the Rose Law Firm or get her the job? Are any of your wife's accomplishments the result of marrying you? Better tell your daughters to marry well.
Talk about hypocrisy. Hillary gets villified when in fact, if you asked anyone who has worked with her, including repub senators in that most exclusive club of 100, they all say how hard she worked, how much effort she put in in understanding the issues, the complexities, the minutua of policy and yet, its all due to being married to Bill.
And yes, if she divorced Bill and ran for the senate, she'd still get elected.

Behind every great man stands a greater woman.
no one is denying her accomplishments, and stop getting personal. every time someone disagrees with you, they get villified as a trump supporter, racist, sexist, anti-semite, you name it.
the presidency is a far different animal than anything else. positive association is huge. not just for women. that goes for men as well. you don't need to turn this into sexist nonsense when that isn't at all what I'm talking about. I'd say the same fucking thing about anyone, regardless of gender.
but how many first gentlemen are there examples to draw from? right.
Darwinspeed, all.

Why are you talking about Hillary in a Trump thread? What is it about strong powerful women that gets people so riled up? I happen to disagree with your premise, that had she not been FLOTUS, she wouldn't have gotten where she was/is. Hence the remark about your daughters. Because thats what you're saying. A women is still identified more by who she marries than what her accomplishments, education, etc. say about her. Still, in the 21st Century. Imagine that.

Nor could you say that Bill would have run g president of Hillary didn't push him or keep him on the relative straight and narrow.
Obviously nobody can say definitively obviously, but I don't think one should try and argue against the idea that Hillary may very likely have been just as successful (at least) if she hadn't been Bill's wife. I don't understand why you said that. She's is incredible tough and smart in her own right, and has always been extremely motivated, and IMO is the one who really forged and nurtured most of the important relationships along the way that helped to get her husband into office.

you know, conversations tend to meander and evolve and then eventually get back on topic. go back and read. i don't know who brought her up. I think it started with melania and then someone mentioned hillary. but I'm sorry, are you a mod? in the trump thread it's out of bounds to mention his presidential opponent? you know, the woman whom you've mentioned in every political thread a thousand times over the last 2 years? usually preceded by "buh buh...."
i didn't say she WOULDN'T have. I said it's impossible to know, and it has zero to do with her gender. It has to do with her spouse being president. same would go if it were the reverse.
I'm not sure how I can paint this any clearer for you: my opinion on this has zero to do with her gender.
I just noticed you called her, his escort. Classy.
Seems fair. She did marry an old man because he's rich. And she doesn't leave him despite it being well-documented that he cheats on her. Trump himself has said they don't sleep in the same bed.
That fucking escort Hillary couldn’t win the most winnable election then.
Given that Bill was neither older nor wealthy when they married, I’m not sure your analogy holds.
no, but it could be argued that the only reason she stays with him is to forward her career just as much as anyone can argue that melania is a gold digger.
Is there any evidence of that, though? I think there’s actually plenty to the contrary.
Well she stays with Bill even though he cheats, and she's gone after the women that have accused him of sexual assault. Sounds more like a political partnership than a marriage and it might have led to a perception that she's not a leader since she's so bound to her powerful husband. The thought of divorce had to cross her mind when it became worldwide news that Bill was getting blowjobs from an intern. But it's in her best political interest to be Bill Clinton's wife.
Because being married to Bill Clinton is was got her elected to the US Senate? Or nominated and confirmed as SOS? What’s Melania’s comparable achievements?
you don't think being first lady had ANYTHING to do with her subsequent political success?
I think Hillary accomplished much of what she accomplished because of her hard work and intelligence. Did Bill get her into Yale law school? Did Bill get her appointed to the house staff investigating Watergate? Did Bill write her opinions when she worked for the Rose Law Firm or get her the job? Are any of your wife's accomplishments the result of marrying you? Better tell your daughters to marry well.
Talk about hypocrisy. Hillary gets villified when in fact, if you asked anyone who has worked with her, including repub senators in that most exclusive club of 100, they all say how hard she worked, how much effort she put in in understanding the issues, the complexities, the minutua of policy and yet, its all due to being married to Bill.
And yes, if she divorced Bill and ran for the senate, she'd still get elected.
Behind every great man stands a greater woman.
I think old Bill himself acknowledges that she is smarter and tougher than he is. She got damn far before he became president. Like her or dislike her, pause for a second to think about the obstacles women her age faced back in the day.
of course. she was hugely successful. but no one can say definitively either way that she'd have gotten the nomination with our without being first lady to Bill Clinton. anyone suggesting so is fooling themselves.
Nor could you say that Bill would have run g president of Hillary didn't push him or keep him on the relative straight and narrow.
of course.
Therefore that can be stated for any politician. So I don't get why it's a point of discussion.

it was a hypothetical retort mentioned only because of the post about melania being an escort. nothing more. then halifax has to take it to another fucking dimension and somehow I ended up being a sexist and horribly oppressive father. FFS. this place is unreal sometimes.

As for Hillary, yes, being Bill Clinton's wife was very helpful for her in becoming a Senator, SOS, and the democratic nominee. That's not to say he did it for her, or that her own talents and know-how weren't a factor, because of course they were. But if she divorced him in the late 90's, like any self-respecting woman would, she would not be as popular with the democratic electorate, and then maybe she doesn't ascend to those posts.

the presidency is a far different animal than anything else. positive association is huge. not just for women. that goes for men as well. you don't need to turn this into sexist nonsense when that isn't at all what I'm talking about. I'd say the same fucking thing about anyone, regardless of gender.
but how many first gentlemen are there examples to draw from? right.
