    An executive for a business or a bureaucrat should be fired, and her voters would probably reject her if she ran for reelection. IMO, she should have announced that she was not running and finished her term in office.

    Why isn't Trump being held to the same standard?

    IMO, the RP should have waited for the next election. They would have had chance to defeat him at the ballot box.

    The corrupt DC political class will have to nullify an election and rig another one to remove Trump from office.
    Voters don't like to be disenfranchised.

    I doubt voters will like what Trump is doing to their Constitutional government system while they're distracted by all his juvenile antics.

    Well according to Republicans, she basically raped the guy. They false claimed, for weeks, that she was sleeping with multiple staffers and interns and threatening to fire them if they didn't. Im pretty sure that at least part of her resignation was because she didn't want to deal with the BS that came with trying to defend herself against those lies.

    I don't know what did or did not occur. Honestly...my guess is that the truth is somewhere in the middle.

    There are 15 hours of Trump discussing his sex life on Howard Stern. Isn't that manly?

    absolutely yes... one that abhors the tactics of the dnc... accuse & smear without any evidence nor reasonable suspicion, then scours the earth lookin for evidence of a crime only to deny any wrong doings when their tactic fails...

    You sure don't sound like one.

    " for the most part, americans are lazy, unsophisticated & arrogant" sure sounds like a non-American speaking (in very broken English) derisively of Americans in the 3rd person.

    The woman's weird sex life evidently with participation by her husband is being USED by him against her in a divorce action. She's resigned. What more do YOU want?

    I think that should read “Why Aren’t Women’s Groups Giving Us Cheap Copy?”.

    Let’s be clear, this kind of article is about attacking someone (anyone!) because that makes “good” (from a commercial point of view) material. It’s easier to attack people when they make lots of public statements that can be picked apart, misinterpreted and spun to generate dramatic headlines so when anyone avoids that game, the story has to be how they’re not talking about an issue.

    No, she’s being hounded out of office for her politics, just like any other politician (of any party) who falls foul of petty offences. Her sex life is the convenient tool that is being used for that purpose.

    She was having an affair with one of her staffers. That is what happened, and she resigned after weeks of false accussations that she was forcing her entire staff to sleep with her and threatening to fire them if they refused. (funny that Republicans seem to only have an issue with infidelity when a democrat does it.....Half o of the GOP are known to cheat on their spouses ).

    Hill wasn't removed, wasn't recalled, wasn't convicted of anything. She resigned of her own volition. Based on past scandals with other politicians she could have successfully weathered the scandal and continued to hold office. She chose not to. That means her circumstance isn't comparable to Clinton, Trump or any other politician that chose to react differently to the scandals that they have been a part of.
