> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > This, only it goes further for me. > > Way back when, when Bill was running for president, I kept hearing about this great new man. He was going to save the world, lift the downtrodden, make life worth living, and he was handsome and sexy too. > I was working one full time and two part time jobs at the time, watching TV and keeping up with politics wasn’t happening for me. > > One day I was at my friend’s house, she as a huge Clinton fan. He came on TV and she was quick to point him out. > > I took one look at his face and saw every lying, cheating, sneaky, SOBing, Good Ole’ Boy I had ever known all rolled up into one. Then when he spoke! OMG! That voice! Like nails on a chalkboard. > > I could not see the appeal. Handsome and sexy? > > I looked at my friend and said _that man would sell his own mama if the price was right!_ > > The whole Monica thing did not surprise me at all. > Did not surprise me that he cheated, no surprise that he tried to deny it, no surprise that he tried to make her out to be some kind of crazed stalker, no surprise that he tried to say oral sex isn’t sex. > > He is not just a man who cheats, he is a serial cheater. No respect for women, no respect for his wife, no respect for his daughter. He didn’t have an affair, he didn’t fall in love, he didn’t just mess up, he is a cheater, with no remorse, no shame. > > At the time the whole Monica bullshit was going on, a friend was dealing with her cheating husband. Another serial cheater. She could live in denial until he got another woman pregnant. Now she has to face it, and like most women whose husbands cheat her first thought was what was wrong with _her_. > Was she not pretty enough? Was she too fat? What was she doing wrong? Why wasn’t she good enough for him? > > To sit with a friend and listen to her cry, and to down herself, and lose herself, her self esteem, feeling like she failed and then after convincing her that it’s not her, it’s him - then she questions why she is so stupid to have loved him and what is wrong with her that she has such poor judgement. > > IMO, serial cheating is a form of abuse. It may not be physical, but it’s mental and emotional abuse. The man knows what he is doing, and he doesn’t care. > > My friend, like many other women in her position, felt like she couldn’t leave her husband. They had two kids and he made the money. She had nowhere to go and felt she couldn’t make it on her own. > > Then I look at Hillary, who is smarter and stronger than her husband. She doesn’t need him, but yet she chose to stay and put up with the abuse. She not only tolerated his abuse and the public humiliation, but she defended him and made excuses for him. > > I know she is an adult and she can make her own decision, but I felt like she let down every woman out there who is dealing with abuse. If she, as a rich powerful woman, Can’t or won’t leave her abusive husband, what message does that send to the women who are not rich and not powerful, who depend on their husbands financially? > > Maybe rightly, maybe wrongly, but I felt like her actions were a slap in the face to every woman I know who has been in an abusive relationship. > > How would people feel if instead of cheating, he slapped her around? > Abuse is abuse. > > I can feel sorry for women who feel trapped, and I will do whatever it takes to help them out of the situation. > > Hillary isn’t trapped, and I can’t respect any woman who stays in an abusive situation by choice. How can I trust her to make good decisions that will affect my life when IMO she can’t even make good decisions for her own? Also here, dislike her, not hate her. She terribly mistreats her aides and helpers. She can often be downright cruel, ugly and demeaning to them. I posted this in the Secret Service thread, and it is relevant here. > [@Trump's Secret Service codename](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trumps-secret-service-codename/772066/68): > > She is very much the bitch.

Regarding the Clintons, Kessler presents Chelsea as a model protectee who respected and appreciated her agents. He describes Bill as a difficult chief executive but an easygoing ex-president.
