[quote=FlyerInHi]BG, so many contractions in your post…
Why do people expect Hillary to divorce?
If my wife were having extra marital sex, I probably wouldn’t care. Maybe there comes a time, I don’t want sex with her anymore. So what? We could be business partners and if the business is prosperous, then why dissolve it?
The marriage is the foundation on which to build. If that connection is useful, then why not keep it?
BTW, people who have gone trough a lot should be admired, not hated.
Contrast Princess Di to Hillary. Di was a needy, insecure woman and people loved her. Hillary is smart, intelligent and resourceful; and people hate her.[/quote]
My “brethren” and I no longer “expect” the Clintons will divorce. I mean, hello? Hill and Bill are pushing 69 and 70 years old, respectively. Why bother at this point?
We FULLY EXPECTED her to dump him in 2001, after he left office. ESPecially if she had future political aspirations! THAT’s the very latest date she should have left Bill and had she done so then she would not have the baggage her opponent is currently using against her on the national airwaves.
It’s not Bill’s “infidelity,” per se, that’s making her look today like the chump she is. That’s all on HIM. It’s the fact that she denied the Lewinsky “affair” as long as she could until she could no more (in effort to “protect” Bill, who was POTUS at the time) and then stood by him during his “impeachment” process (for lying about his activities with Monica).
It’s also the fact, that, as the First Lady of AR for 12 years (with two more years in between stints as Governor), she put up with Bill’s numerous affairs (one lasting ~4 years) and hung by his side even though she would have been more than justified to dump him as early as 1981. If the things Trump is saying are true (haven’t investigated them myself) and Hill actually threatened some or all of these women in the name of protecting Bill’s “reputation” (the Governor at the time), then my opinion of her would plunge to the lowest of low ratings.
Yes, I am judging her because she has supported Wild Bill’s storied “career” serving in the highest elected posts in the land for 20 years, she was then elected and served as a Senator of NY for 8 years and then served as US Sec of State for 4 years (a POTUS appointed cabinet position). Including her First Lady gigs, that equals 32 years that Hill has either served in high public office herself or closely supported someone else who did. She always had political aspirations for herself and we all know that all is fair in love and politics. Had Bill and Hill (yes, they’re a pkg deal) never occupied the AR State Capitol or the White House and lived in relative obscurity, then it wouldn’t matter to anyone what kind of arrangements they had/have in place in order to put on a facade of presenting a “happy marriage” in public. They could go along thru life as 50-75% of long-married couples do and live as roommates, vacation separately (or even live separately) and no one would be the wiser.
Yes, I DO believe that the reason they are still together today is because they feel that elements of their relationship are “useful” to each of them. And that is A-okay, perfectly legal and done every day, everywhere. But let’s all just call it the “sham arrangement” that it is and hope that if she gets elected, she doesn’t place Wild Bill in a position where he can muck up the works too badly . . . or worse, embarrass the sh!t out of her again because of his not-so-well-controlled addictions and proclivities. As POTUS, she’s not going to have the time or inclination to keep an eye on him. I guess she could get a trusted cabinet member or aide to do it, though. Bill well knows “the lay of the land” around Washington and there will always be a young female aide, intern or even beautiful Gen X staffer working in or visiting the White House or the Nation’s Capitol who would be star struck if charming Billy paid any attention to them at all :=0
