Hillary knew he was having affairs, hell, she was having affairs, people like that just seem to do that kind of thing. It's part of that whole "Do as I say, not as I do" thing that elitist jackasses get into. Almost no one gives a damn that he fucked a porn star before becoming POTUS, even less people care that he paid her off, it's what rich people do, it's only a big deal because CNN and the Liberal/Socialist elite have nothing else to try and go on to get rid of Trump and she thinks she can get more money. Mostly it's jealousy because she likely turned a lot of them down.

People cared a great deal in 1998 that the President engaged in private immoral behavior. "Character counts," you may remember, or at least it did 20 years ago. The Clinton scandal lowered the bar for future presidents. Trump benefits from the lowered bar.

The Lewinsky scandal became public in January 1998. By the end of 1998, the House had impeached Clinton and the Senate had acquitted him. Clinton's approval rating at the end of 1998 was confoundingly higher -- above 70%, the highest point in his presidency -- than at the beginning of the year, when he had adamantly denied the allegations and when most Democrats, including most importantly his wife, had defended him. I think his approval rating soared because Clinton finally, but not until August 1998, admitted his error and showed humility and remorse. If Trump adopted a little of Clinton's humility, Trump's approval rating would rise too.
