The names
Those who continue to act as the apologists for Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump are bringing up the names of women who have made allegations of rape and sexual harassment against former President Bill Clinton.
Juanita Broaddrick
Paula Jones
Kathleen Willey
The spectre of President Clinton's various infidelities have also become fodder for the Trump sycophants to raise as an issue.
Gennifer Flowers
Dolly Kyle
Monica Lewinsky
All names well known to the public. But there are other names that should be discussed if we are going to engage in an analysis of comparative behavior between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump
Ivana Trump said in a deposition that Trump had raped her, although she clarified later that she did not mean rape "in the criminal sense." But she also described how he pulled out chunks of her hair, pinned her arms behind her and worse that I won't detail here.
Jill Harth is a woman who sued Trump for sexual assault and dropped her case only because it was part of a deal in a settlement of another lawsuit involving her and her then husband where Trump had stiffed them on a business deal. I bet the list of people he has stiffed is a lot longer than those he's attempted to be stiff with (I know, bad pun).
Then there is the Jane Doe who is suing Trump for allegedly raping her in 1994. Sadly this won't see the inside of a courtroom until after the election.
Temple Taggart was a Miss USA contestant when she claims to have received an unwanted kiss onthe mouth from Mr. Trump.
A server at a Trump-owned golf course claims he was "overly familiar and unprofessional." That may not be a criminal offense, but it is certainly a potential instance of sexual harassment.
To call all of this old news is to ignore the fact that MGM is refusing to release unaired video footage from The Apprentice. There are reports that more unacceptable behavior is present on that video and apparently the fear of lawsuits is keeping that video under lock and key.
But this comparative analysis ignores a reality. Donald Trump is not running against Bill Clinton. He's running against Bill's wife Hillary. And none of her actions during Bill's many "bimbo eruptions" rise to the level of what Mr. Trump stands accused of.
