In the 2005 recording, Mr. Trump said: “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.…

“And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.…Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything,” Mr. Trump added.

Mr. Trump also referred to a married woman whom he said he tried to seduce: “I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f—her.…”

  Men do engage in a lot of locker room chatter like this. But you certainly keep it under wraps, why was he dumb enough to have it recorded?
  
  He just keeps digging himself into deeper holes. The lame fall back about what Bill Clinton said at a golf match is just an excuse. Bill Clinton is not running for President, he is. All of this plays right into Ms. Clinton's hands. Trump must be planning to lose, he continues to PO all the establishment to the point that they wish that Pence would take over for the topof the ticket.

  I do not agree with Trump or even like him. I think he is his own worst enemy because he does not know how to keep his mouth shut. I do feel he has not been in politics so he is not corrupt yet like Clinton. He does not have to make the special interests happy so maybe he would do a good job. Who knows. Clinton is corrupt and has to keep the people who have financed her campaign happy so she will not help the country or the people. Take a look at who and what she has supported in the past. At this point Trump is on his own.

  I understand your frustration with Trump. I just believe that corrupt people can exist well outside the realm of politics. Trump is one and whatever relief people believe that he would provide, I don't think exists. His wealth and affluence is a special interest in itself. So, who is he going to make happy?
  It is tough, but between two corrupt choices, I am going to select the one that does not bring so many additional negatives as does Donald Trump right now.

  Let's put this in perspective.
  Bill Clinton was found guilty of having sex with an intern in the White House and accused by multiple women of raping them. Trump never raped anyone or assaulted anyone.
  Hillary Clinton defended a man she knew raped a 12 year old, smeared the child as desperate for it, laughed about it and never apologized. This is compared to Trump's discussions that are tame compared to many rap videos.
  The Clinton's actions over the years are far worse than a decade old recorded conversation.

  Maybe you should read through the entire thread. This has been covered.
  
  In a nutshell, Donald has been accused of rape and of participating in orgies with underage girls. These are unproven allegations. It is a fact that Donald cheated on all three of his wives. He has admitted it.
  
  It is a fact that Bill had multiple extramarital affairs. He has admitted it. The rape allegations remain unproven, same as the allegations against Donald.
  
  Donald is running for president. Bill is not. These are facts.

  While I detest the woman, to denigrate her for the defense of a criminal is outrageous. She was appointed by the court to perform an utterly necessary task of our justice system: the defense of a man, guilty or not, that was charged with a crime and to do so to the best of her ability. To suggest that she should have refused, or to do less than her best, implies that we will no longer provide counsel for those that cannot afford it themselves. We all recognize that money buys "not guilty" verdicts in too many cases and failing to provide the best defense possible would only exacerbate that very real problem.
  
  So Hillary Clinton is a disgusting example of what our politics has become but she did the right thing in giving her best to defend a criminal in court.

  Is this seriously worse than Hillary joking and laughing about getting a child rapist free from serious punishment?
  A 41-year-old factory worker named Thomas Alfred Taylor rapes a 12 year old girl in 1975. At the time, Clinton worked as a defense lawyer for Taylor, who pleaded “unlawful fondling of a minor” and “served less than a year in prison after Clinton was able to block the admission of forensic evidence that linked her client to the crime,” The Daily Mail reported.
  Recorded in the 1980s, an interview with Arkansas journalist Roy Reed has Clinton saying, “Do you remember that case where I represented that guy? It was a fascinating case. […] The guy was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. Of course he claimed that he didn’t. All this stuff. He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.” She then chuckles.
  To think Hillary Clinton is any LESS flawed a human being, or has any LESS dirt under her fingernails is delusional at best. Anyone who thinks she is a good person, in comparison to Trump, is only lying to themselves.

  'Hillary Clinton is not for women and children,' says Kathy Shelton, 54, who was 12 years old when she was raped by Thomas Alfred Taylor in Arkansas
  
  Clinton was the rapist's defense lawyer, pleading him down to 'unlawful fondling of a minor'
  
  The 41-year-old drifter served less than a year in prison
  
  The plea came after Clinton was able to block the admission of forensic evidence that linked her client to the crime
  
  Shelton says she's furious that Clinton has been portraying herself as a lifelong advocate of women and girls on the campaign trail
  
  Clinton accused Shelton of 'seeking out older men' in the case and demanded that she undergo a grueling court-ordered psychiatric examination
  
  The presidential candidate later laughed while discussing aspects of the case in a recently-unearthed audiotaped interview from the 1980s

  My brother, who is a public defender, recently defended an accused serial pedophile who was found not guilty. My brother is a devout Christian who also believes in the rule of law and the constitutional right to a fair trial, which includes a good and rigorous defense. He did his constitutional duty even though he was pretty sure the guy was guilty.
  
  Do you believe in the constitutional right of every American to have a fair trial with a proper defense?

  A fair trial with a proper Defense does NOT mean you twist the law to protect a predator that preys on children. PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION.

I could care less if you or anyone else puts the word of the law above doing what is right, and what protects innocent people, especially children.
  
  As YOU said he was pretty sure the guy was guilty... then that is on him, every victim there-after is on him, he helped put him back on the streets. You don't help scum get back on the streets to do more harm, unless you have no true values, no sense of right or wrong.

  So I'm right. You're a pretend conservative who doesn't value the constitution. Sometimes innocent people need a good defense. Who are you to decide who is worthy and who is not?

  If I were ignorant of how the law in our land works, if I were ignorant of how our judicial system works, your posts might be bothersome.
  But your posts come across as hollow, and it seems you can't differentiate between constitutional rights, and how laws are applied and how defendants/criminals can often avoid the 'justice' they deserve by the simplest of errors of procedure, due process or any number of things, including a lawyer knowing certain loopholes or legal arguments that can aid in a criminals release, aid in evidence being withheld, aid in the real facts of the case never being heard by the Jury.
  Any lawyer that knowingly uses the minutia of the law, to help violent and predatory criminals get back on the streets to harm more innocents, is in my book, as low a life form that exists in our world today.

  There are a lot of people that prefer to dispense with the irritating fine points of legal procedure to get people who they think 'deserve' it. And, who are you to make so bold an assertion? That was the basis of the need for the Miranda warnings as part of police procedure, the end of stop and frisk as a way to treat entire communities as criminals, en masse. But that will never disturb the mindset of the conservative diehard type...I will take those procedural red tape moments that so irritate you anytime in favor of protecting the innocent even when a guilty one would escape. The Constitution says innocent until proven guilty, but for the rightwinger that has to be most annoying.

  That is true, that is what everbody wants. But, that term describes for them the correct way the Constitution should be interpreted by the court. Consequently, liberals jurors are criticized for 'legislating from the bench'. 'Strict Constructionism' regarding a manner of interpretation of the Constitution by SCOTUS is a code word for conservatives, that not only want it their way but want to demonstrate that it is the only correct way for the court to interpret the law.

  "Dog Whistles" and "code words," Geesh! I don't remember, but I hope you weren't one of those "efforting" people of recent past.
  
  If the negative implication of your "code word" description, was removed, I think your comment makes perfect sense. What else can you expect from an ideology? Of course that term, "strict constructionist" implies the Conservative Right. What is wrong with that?
  
  Look at your comment again - with a one substitution...
  
  "'Living Constitutionism,' regarding a manner of interpretation of the Constitution by SCOTUS is a word for Liberals, that not only want it their way but want to demonstrate that it is the only correct way for the court to interpret the law."
  
  I don't see anything negative or wrong about it that way either. Do you?

  Sorry, my bias is showing anything that the conservatives herald as great is something of which I should be deeply suspicious.
  
  What wrong with the conservative right? Now there is a cause for a Red Alert, if I ever saw one.
  
  There is no such term as "living constitionalism'. I have heard the right complaining about what they believe is judicial activism. But, if I listened to them we would not have had the landmark decisions prohibiting segregated education or that legalizing abortion. I doubt that such necessary rulings would have been possible under a strict contructionist approach.
  
  So, GA, what is a prime example of conservatism? it is the idea that that having another woman on Clinton's ticket as her running mate would be too much? Both you and Promisem mentioned that concern and I have been wondering since then.. Promisem told me that I was less resistant to the prospect because I was more open minded. I appreciated the compliment, but are conservatives more rigid and closed minded in comparison?Now there is the difference between red and blue, stark and easy to see. People aren't ready for a ticket with women running for Prez and VP. Who says they are not ready? We have had tickets with two men running for a couple of centuries. Much of the industrialized world has had female heads of state. It is that attitude that reveals so much about the conservative mindset. And why that it is a thing to be avoided. So women are almost to be seen as equals, but not quite? We can't trust them with both the top spots. How much of that thinking lies behind conservative thought regarding others that are not part of their mainstream? Hmmmm....

  I say...
  
  No, no, I wasn't asking what you thought was wrong with the Conservative Right, no way I would open that can of worms. I was asking what was wrong with them believing in "strict Constructionist" interpretations of the Constitution? Just as I asked you what was wrong with your same comment respective to "Living Constitution*," (or Living Document perspective), being a similar "code word" for Liberals.
  *yes, I did subvert "Living Constitution," (by adding the "ism"), which is the theory of Constitutional interpretation that birthed the term "judicial activism," and it's layman cousin - "legislating from the bench." All three terms commonly attributed to Liberals.
  
  As for the possible alternate fates of the decisions you mentioned, we may never know. On Roe v Wade, I think that decision might have been different, but, I don't think a strict constructionist interpretation would have changed the Brown v Bd. of Ed. decision.
  
  Your memory of Promisem's comment about a female double-header ticket was correct, but incomplete. I also noted I thought our country was ready for it. I still think that if Clinton could have landed Warren Trump would still be a wisp of smoke instead of the wildfire he is.
  
  "It is that attitude that reveals so much about the conservative mindset."
  
  Yes, it does, but that makes it even more important to understand that mindset before you condemn or dismiss it. I think my earlier abortion question example demonstrates this.

To attack the defense lawyer for doing his or her job, is fundamentally un-American. To threaten to jail a political opponent is un-American.

  Because the converse, where the idea of hard work, smartness, good education, often a big bank account falling into one's lap, etc., contribute to a person's good life: these situations are seen as the correct way to have a life. These characteristics actually lead to poverty.
  
  So you might wish to examine your own life to see if any of my thoughts here fit in with your ideas.

Nixon saw Hoover as an anachronism from a by gone era, and certainly was somewhat relieved at his death toward the end of his first term.

  I can understand why, from a Progressive perspective, you would see them that way. We all filter through the lens of our own perspective. I think the "why" is more important, and less tied to Trump than the "who."
  
  I hope Hillary won't mind if I borrow her "baskets of deplorables." (but not the "half" part)
  
  I think there is some truth to her words. (I also understand Hillary has her own basket of deplorables - that is not the point). I think Trump has a solid core base that does fit the worst descriptions put out by the Democrats, but, I have never believed that base was large enough to propel Trump forward.
  
  I even think I could step into your progressive view and see the Trump you are seeing. And if I did, then the size of Trump's core base is very important. How did we ever get here?
  
  What happened? Did a ton of those other uneducated white rednecks come down out of the mountains? Did the base that believes as Trump does explode with conversions due to his public presence? I don't think so.
  
  I think the angry voter justification, that you discounted, is a primary motivator, along with the any-body-but-Hillary and nose-holder voters. I think that is the expanding non-base that is behind him now.

  I would not like to think that Clinton's descriptions of Trump supporters were all inclusive. As for that base not being large enough to propel Trump forward, maybe it is. There were plenty of GOP competition for the nomination among those that were more mainstream, ideologically relevant, more knowledgeable, etc. So, why Trump, was political incorrectness so important relative to all these other factors? What kind of people seek to discard all the rules of decorum and would be attracted to him?
  
  We may very well be seeing the creation of a third party candidate in Trump, de facto, as he may well divert from doctrinaire GOP policy positions sufficiently enough to differentiate him and his supporters from the GOP establishment. I have to question the timing of the 'fed up' status of Trump supporters. They have had reason to be 'fed up' long before now.
  
  Those of the corporate class, as Trump is, are just as corrupt as any politician and will simply desire to skew the system to the advantage of himself and others like him from the inside. Is he a working man's champion, poppycock!
  
  I try to step into the conservatives view and looking at the values that they confess, why someone as misrepresenting as Trump? Clinton is still a weak candidate, why support someone on your side with more baggage than she?
  
  You obviously do not need to be adorned in white sheets, or a card carrying member of Aryan Nations, to harbor and be attracted to Trumps xenophobic message and politics of exclusion and harrassment to some degree.

  You are right cred. I winced when I saw how I described his core base supporter. I did not mean to imply his whole base was in that basket.
  
  Your example of the GOP competitors could be in support of my thoughts about the why. They could have been just as you suggested, if they weren't all politicians. Through the mix of reasons someone might support Trump, from skinheads to moderates, there is one common thread - anger at politicians.
  
  Consider the primary candidates. I saw them all as pretty much the same on issues - in varying degrees, but each with their own signature twist. And, each with some sort of base supporter. Some even tried to out-Trump Trump, in both positions and anti-PC behavior. So there was almost certainly one of them to fit most conservative voters, someone they could move to support. But that did not happen, and I think the reason is the angry voter. And the extreme anti-Hillary sentiment. Both parties have their extreme voters and their anybody-but-the-other guy factions - but only one side has the angry voter wave. (At least I don't recall a ton of Democrat anti-government, anti-establishment sentiment among the news)
  
  I think that if the angry voter did not exist, Trump would not have survived the primaries. But he did, and now those that would not support him if they had another choice, (as you would not support Hillary if you had Bernie for a choice), are bracing themselves to accept a 'the end justifies the means' surrender.
  
  That is Trump's voter. The strength of the anger vote could put Trump in the White House. But nobody is paying attention to the message - voters so angry they are even willing to accept a governmental crash and burn. They are too busy trying to define the who to understand the why.

  Why the anger at politicians? I never heard hide nor hair of this stuff before JAN 20, 2009. Not long after that we had the 'tea party' and unprecedented obstruction from the GOP for the new President to contend with.
  
  Was it Obamacare? Every GOP candidate swore to dismantle it on their first day in office.
  
  We on the left did have much of the support toward Bernie Sanders hinging on the some of the same concepts. His differences from Clinton were policy driven, rather than being over some cult of personality.
  
  So why all the Angry voters? Obama has removed more illegal migrants than his predecessor. The economy has taken record rebounds as far as recovery goes.
  
  Is it the lament over the structural change in the economy in the last few years? Is that why they are angry? Regardless of what Trump promises those changes are not controlled by politicians, but capitalism and technological advance.
  
  It just seem to be a strange coincidence that all this stuff started with the Obama adminstration. Were not these problems with politicians floating around before that time? Is the real anger at progressives and how they continue to dominate policy and the issues? It is just anger at the left and allof its supporters and adherents. Trump is not extrapolitical and beyond being bought, has already been bought and sold years ago. He was using the politicians to his benefit for years, just because he isn't one in the conventional sense does not put him above the fray.
  
  Trump is popular as he puts to words all of the thoughts of those that are angry. Much of those thoughts are of the resentful sort. He had simply been doing it more effects ly than were the other candidates, that has to explain, why Trump? But, he is just using their anger to his short term advantage

  Now Grasshopper... you are asking the right question... :-)
  
  ... and I think there could be a lot of rational answers, but I also think any answer is going to boil down to be something about change; fear of it, control of it, or a stand against it. And any of those three could be legitimate to the one holding the thought.
  
  The specifics, (programs or actions, or people), are only the platforms used to do whatever control thing is your thing. If we look at any of them viewed ideologically, (instead of partisan), and contrast to similar ideological comparisons from your perspective - I bet you will find understandable reasons for what ever view it is that is held. Even if it is buried so deep in layers that it isn't even mentioned, (and even if every one of those layers is bogus).
  
  To pick a hot one - abortion. Someone that thinks more secular than religious thinks it is rightly a woman's choice. Conversely, a more religious person thinks it is terribly wrong, and a woman does not have a choice. Both are morally legitimate for the individual, but that individual's society will decide which view is morally right for the society. That sound right doesn't it? Well, if you strip away all the layers of either side's actions, extreme or not, arguable or not, this fundamentally divisive abortion argument is really driven by two sides of individuals with morally legitimate reasons for their actions - not two sides of baby-killers or clinic-bombers. I think you will find this to be the case for most of our controversial issues.
  
  I think this line of thought might also answer your 2009 question. I'll get back to you with a diagram and we can invite all comers. I think the political machinations of Obamacare could be a good start. Or we could take a look at Trump's perspective on women. Like whether the size of his hands shapes that perspective.

I am not the first person to wonder if Democrats infiltrated the Republican party to put someone forward who would dismantle their opposition.

I am a Republican-leaning “independent”— and I have really tried to like Donald Trump, but it is difficult.

When it came to the primary vote, I checked Ben Carson, but being a Californian I knew it didn’t make much difference what Republican votes were here. Our state is Democrat.

If Trump entered the contest to attract, rally and arouse all of those who are dissatisfied with the status quo, is he now trying to make those voters so disgusted with his behavior that they will not even vote? If so, Clinton will win by default.

Trump is not listening to anyone’s advice. He is being his ”own man” no matter what the consequences. Is this the way he would run his presidency? Like a dictator who’s main concern is about what opponents think of him personally?

Maybe he has decided he doesn’t really want the responsibility of the presidency. Maybe he never did.
Maybe he’s just doing exactly what the Dems (and he, himself) wanted.

”You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”*

*This familiar saying has long been attributed to Abraham Lincoln as part of a speech given in September 1858 .(Ironically the speech was in Clinton, Illinois), but the “quote” is said not to be a part of the text printed in newspaper reports of the event.)

Is Trump’s ambition to be the one who finally fools all of the people and helps his “former friend” into the White House?

These accusations and rumors have been floating around for years.The difference between a Hillary supporter and the Trumpeters on these forums is that we don't constantly post photoshopped images with fabricated quotes and unproven innuendo over and over again. We don't have 15 threads of nonsense with links to the left-wing version of Infowars.

Mostly, we spend our time responding to posts about Bill, who is not running for president. If I were sleazy and information-challenged I could post a long list of links to articles and videos about Donald raping, philandering, and ogling and having sex with underage girls.

He is just as bad as Bill. The thing is, Bill is not running for president and Donald IS.

So, show me where Hillary raped or sexually assaulted anyone. It is ludicrous to hold Hillary more accountable for Bill's transgressions than to hold Donald accountable for his own.

  Well, it took longer than expected, but it has finally happened - Trump is now automatically considered guilty of anything he is accused of, by anyone and everyone that doesn't like him. Politics as usual, I guess.
  
  (Did it occur to you that if "These accusations and rumors have been floating around for years." yet there has never been a conviction on any of them that they just might not be true?)

  Then I did not catch the "point" at all: all I saw was a statement that Trump has been accused of rape and underage sex, coupled with a complaint that Bill faced the same thing and it should not have anything to do with Hillary. Plus, of course, the insinuation that Trump did it: "So, show me where Hillary raped or sexually assaulted anyone.".
  
  If the shoe fits, wear it. And your "News Flash" certainly fits the definition of mud. I don't find this much different than attacking Clinton for doing the necessary job as a Public Defender and then blaming her for being good at it. A little worse, maybe, as there is nothing BUT allegations about Trump's rapes while Hillary DID do her job, and do it well, but that's all.

  Mud, in other words, and the insinuation that he IS a rapist by asking for evidence that Hillary is, too, only thickens it. That you wish to call it "news" doesn't change that - it is and will remain nothing but mud.

  POPPA BLUES WROTE:
  The article points out that the left promotes the idea that America is a racist country, that the republicans are racists, in order to garner the minority vote, without which they wouldn't be able to hold onto power. It isn't about black racism, it's about the left using racism as a tool, promoting the idea that republicans, and the Tea Party, and conservatives are racists to get votes for themselves. What can be more racist than that?
  
  PRETTY PANTHER WROTE:
  I have no doubt that some in the left use racism in America, and particularly racism among Tea Party members and Republicans, as a way to encourage those who care about racism to vote Democratic. That is not racist; that is simply highlighting one significant difference between the two parties so that people can make an informed decision about who they want to represent them

“There is nobody who holds any position of responsibility who in private conversations views Donald Trump as equipped mentally, morally and intellectually to be the president of the United States. But scores of Republican leaders have failed a fundamental test of moral courage and political leadership in not speaking truth to the American people about what is so obvious.” said Steve Schmidt, a veteran GOP strategist.

“Everything Trump touches dies,” said Republican consultant Rick Wilson.

“Since Day One, I have been waving these giant red flags in front of people saying, ‘No, no, no, don’t go down this road because this road leads to our party being very tainted and a candidate who’s dangerously unfit to be president,’ but people went storming ahead down that road anyhow,” said Katie Packer, a former Romney.

“They bought the ticket knowing there wouldn’t be enough life rafts once the ship hit the iceberg. We knew that no one who has gotten involved with Donald Trump in his personal life, in his professional life or in his political life has come out of that for the better. No one. So why any of our aspiring political leaders thought that they could survive being associated with him and grow from that is beyond me", said John Weaver, a longtime republican strategist.

“This is going to last forever,” Wilson said. “For years now, Democrats will be able to roll out TV ads and say, ‘When John Smith says today he’s for a brighter future, remember who he stood by: Donald Trump. He stood by Donald Trump’s misogyny, racism, sexism and stupidity.’ ”

“Donald Trump has always been a ridiculous candidate for president and the only thing that’s surprising is that it took this long for that ridiculousness to gel,” Stevens said. “It’s already hurt our country, it’s already hurt our politics. It’s just been a very destructive candidacy.”

  There's a Politifact joke there! I can logically think of many promises Hillary Clinton has broken and lies about.

  Is that from the same Rasmussen who was a paid consultant for the RNC during Bush’s campaign in 2004(1)? The same Rasmussen whose methods and bias have been called out again and again(2)(3)(4)? Definitely a reliable source. No bias there. Perhaps you should do some research.

Hillary straight up stole her nomination from Bernie Sanders. If the party of Liberalism had a shred of integrity they would have stopped Hillary from hijacking the nomination and Trump would be debating Bernie right now. Had that happened it would have been a landslide for Bernie.
I know lots of conservatives who would have voted for Bernie despite the fact that he's a socialist goon. At least Trump won the nomination fair and square against a bunch of sellout, lifetime politicians.

  Hillary won her nomination the same way Obama won his nomination in his race against her. The Democrats have superdelegates to prevent someone like Trump "stealing" their party. If the GOP had them they wouldn't be in the fix they are now.

  They wait till they think no one is looking to stuff ballot boxes with ballots.
  Waiting for the the last voting poll at the end, that's the best one.
  Duh, forget about hidden cameras, huh.

  I read an article today that said Hillary could win the election before election day, with the mail in ballots. It's a whole lot easier to stuff ballot boxes that way.

  Yes, and lots of dead people voting too.
  
  Alan Schulkin, Commissioner of the Board of Elections in New York City told a reporter with a hidden cam all about how Democrats bus people around to vote at different polling places. They use minority communities for the voter fraud. Schulkin, never said they were going to do anything to try to stop it. Yeah, that's just the way it is.

  He sounds like an honest man and would just like his vote to count for who he votes for, instead of being canceled out by 10 fake votes. But, will he do something?
  
  I already knew about this being done. There will be people watching for this kind of activity come Nov. 8th with cameras. I guess they pay the bused in fraudsters $20 or so and a new t-shirt to wear at a different poll, or they just go in the bus again and come out wearing something different and go vote again at the same place.
  
  Un-American! Un-Democratic!

  You conservatives are making excuses already for Trump's dismal showing. Every credible news outlet has Clinton ahead. You and Trump have already lost, admit it to yourself. You should now prepare the implements for your post-Mortem. Remember, I told you so, and you heard it here first.

  Post mortem? This disgust with business as usual in Washington is not going to go away. Trump is not an embarrassing phenomenon. He is a strong indication of how fed up many are with Washington's shenanigans. He will lose but the movement will not. His strange popularity will embolden better men and women to step up to the plate and break the chain of corruption.

  I'm a libertarian (Gary Jonson is an idiot). However, I personally take a strong conservative view as Pro-Life...but, I believe in freedom, so people can make their own choice. But, I have personal limits. Hillary said babies don't have a constitutional right, (she would make sure they don't). Hellary thinks babies can be aborted within hours of their birth. They would suffer excruciating pain. No, I can not condone that, no humanity there. She would appoint liberal judges to the Supreme Court that would agree with her, creating another death panel for unborn babies. Maybe she needs total body blood transfusions from the youngest to stay alive or she is a demon from hell? And that, is how true liberals would see that.
  
  You can take your bigotry of conservatives and shove it!
  Oops, I guess you already have.

  Yes and the party chooses who their leader will be rather than the people. They chose the establishment for you. You get the most unqualified mess the Democratic party has ever produced, bar none! If it were Bernie they wouldn't be able to muster a fraction of the ammo that they can against Hillary.

This paper seems relevant: http://www.lsuc.on.ca/media/sith_colloq … ichael.pdf

The ethical dilemma appears to be whether or not to:

A) defend your client to the best of your ability regardless of any knowledge you possess of the client's actions*

or

B) given knowledge of the client's actions, to hold back and defend the client primarily on grounds of reasonable doubt as a means to discover the truth while maintaining a reasonable degree of defense

From the above paper A seems to be the more ethically questionable given its acts (mudslinging, technicalities). B avoids this:

"Some legal ethicists advocate a weak adversarial position. They argue that a lawyer’s cross-examination of a witness that the lawyer knows to be truthful should be limited to questions that undermine the prosecution’s reasonable doubt case. A lawyer need not defend the case to the max, for example by harming the reputation of a witness who the lawyer knows to be truthful nor attempts to cast blame on persons the lawyer knows to be innocent."

Did Hillary do A or B? Either way, from what I've perused of the case it seems the main fault lies with the prosecutors or crime lab for losing the piece of underwear with the blood and DNA evidence. If they had that, it wouldn't matter how strongly Hillary defended her client.

*Note that this is not to say you are making a judgment of innocent or guilty. You have information that can be used to determine guilt, but you are not making that judgement yourself. For example, it's possible you may know that your client killed someone, but you don't know whether your client will be charged with murder, manslaughter or exculpated with self-defense.
