This is a comparison between Bill and Donald's virtues and escapades, and why should their respective constituents enter into the conversation?

No, the article was about media treatment of those "escapades". In the Clinton's case, as pointed out in the Podesta emails, the media is a constituency.

Not to the progressives from what I see.

Quote:

There are numerous examples of the campaign trying to figure out where it stands in relation to Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, the party’s two most visible liberal standard-bearers. And at times, Clinton’s attempts at a leftward shift caused some in the finance industry to feel shunned by the former New York senator.

"The campaign was clearly evolving toward the left in the exact sort of way I imagine Bernie Sanders was seeking to push her," said Jeff Hauser, executive director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research’s Revolving Door Project, which is aligned with the Warren wing of the party.

"They realized they needed to become more and more progressive. They realized they needed to shift on trade and on banks. They recognized that speeches given in 2013 are not the type of rhetoric they would ever use going forward."

Let's look at the bright side, her speeches to WS is no longer a secret.

Honestly, Whell, how difficult is if for you to watch the nominee of your party behaving the way he is now? I know that you will try to deflect by raising accusations against Bill Clinton, but focus for a minute. Don't you fear for what his candidacy is doing to your party?

But it's a carpet of lies, Don. Don't you realize that? Mr. Trump is a good Christian man who would never do any of those things. We have his word for it.

The liar badge kinda goes with being a politician in my book. So matters not! My hope is the nation as a whole now see's the man behind the curtain for the dangerous person he is.

I suppose sarcasm doesn't translate so well.

As I have posted before the 'liar' badge was hung on her by William Safire in an article he wrote about Hillary - and which was later proven to be completely false with not one single item of fact in it.
