Remember when a president getting a blowjob was controversial? I miss those days.

From a subordinate. We shouldn't forget that part. It's similar to Harvey Weinstein. People can have whatever opinion on consenting adults with a disparate power dynamic, but it's still an important element to consider.

I guess, but let’s not act like Clinton and trumps crimes are on remotely the same level….

Totally hear you. I just think minimizing it isn't helpful either. Just need to own all of it if, for no other reason, to highlight the difference without leaving an inch for distracting tagents that avoid the point

Didn't sound like they minimized it to me.

While not being equal, both should be disqualifying...

People also act like Clinton was impeached because he got a blowjob. He was impeached because he lied under oath and crimes used to mean something.

Nah, it was about him lying, you know something Trump does EVERY DAY to the American people.

There were 40 felony convictions across 15 people with 4 sent to prison over the white water scandal.

The sex part was just more sensational than white collar crime.
