Presidential Debate: Donald Trump Signals He Will Make Bill Clinton an Issue

Presidential Debate: Donald Trump Signals He Will Make Bill Clinton an Issue
By ALAN RAPPEPORT and NICHOLAS CONFESSORE UPDATED 11:49 AM ET

Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton head to St. Louis on Sunday for a widely anticipated second debate that comes as extraordinary upheaval in the Republican Party has upended the presidential race just a month before the election.

He also signaled on Sunday that he was likely to make the behavior of former President Bill Clinton an issue in the debate.

other than to say that whatever Bill did it was consensual and that their marriage is a private matter.

I don't think she needs to take it to the gutter, nor go into unnecessary detail. But if Americans think she is ignoring it, it won't go away. She can talk about how it was an incredibly painful period in her life....and turn it into a story that shows her human side so people (women) will connect with her.

If Trump was plotting a way to lose more women voters, he couldn't do better than blaming a wife for the sins of the husband.

What good friends Trump is with Putin...the guy that has his political rivals murdered, no CT required.
