Why Hasn't Hillary Dumped Bill?

^ Funny - I always think she looks really wrinkly except in good lighting. Maybe you are right.

“His wife, Huma Abedin, is a longtime personal aide of Hillary Clinton.”

@4kidsdad I know… do you think that’s a factor? Huma consiously or unconsciously taking cues from HC?

^ Yes I think so. Also her religion is Islam and

I believe the reason is political, even though the question itself is not. She knew full well that if she stuck in there shw would be able to pursue her own career (Senator, Secretary, and possible President) as opposed to having to start over as that b-word who left the President out to dry and is now seeking her own attention.

My money says that after her term(s) as President or this election if she does not win she will divorce Bill.

I don’t think she’ll ever divorced Bill even if she doesn’t win. Who are we kidding? A rich 70 something on the loose? Are there that many people like that around for Hilary when she is single?

I don’t know why, but this made me laugh. If she gets loose, I hope she goes wild. It’s never too late. :wink:

Who’s to say she would even date, or hasn’t been for the last 20 years? She’d probably just be happy she doesn’t have to deal with him anymore.

I think we could ask the same question about why didn’t Jackie leave JFK or Eleanor leave FDR?

De gustibus non est disputandum.

Nope. Ain’t gonna happen.

She is a presidential candidate now so maybe that’s why.

Hillary will never divorce bill. Why should she? They don’t really live together, so she gets the benefits of the partnership without having him around, and vice versa. I met him once after he had left the White House, and all I can remember thinking was ewww, I find that level of promiscuity completely skanky. She was my senator and I have always said that her constituent service was impeccable, but I will always believe that the senate seat was a gimme to her as payback for years of public humiliation. She was very unpopular until people began to feel bad for her after the Lewinsky affair. That blue dress might have been her ticket to the White House because I absolutely believe that she is going to win.

When was the last time they’ve made an appearance together, anyway?

Chelsea’s wedding.

Didn’t he speak at a rally for her in Iowa? Whenever they are together it seems forced to me.

I feel bad the way Monica was treated by Hilary on the press. I believe Monica was on the news recently regarding this. I’m no fan of somebody like Monica but Bill did take advantage of this young intern and Hillary kept saying as she was perhaps stalking Bill Clinton, something to the effect she was a crazy person that pursued Bill and he couldn’t break away. Like the press or wsj often wrote, Hillary learned to lie very well.

What zoosermom said. Why go through a divorce - a major hassle - if the status quo works for both of them.

There had to have been more than Monica making a move on Bill in a weak moment. Why would we elect someone to possibly the highest office on Earth that could succumb to such sinful ways? He knew full well what was going to happen.

I find it kind of funny how quickly the situation was brushed under the carpet. I wasn’t even a glimmer in my parent’s eyes yet, but I have done enough research to know that the situation was (suspiciously) solved between the two of them in a matter of days. Sure, the press dragged it out for years (and still manages to, especially now that HRC is running for President) but she wanted to divorce him so bad but knew that she could play it in her favor. Look how far it has gotten her yet.

I just can’t wait to see how she reacts if and when Rand (and other Repubs) bring up the scandal. He had said that he will “not hold back” should he ever debate Hillary. I’m sure other conservatives will follow suit because it’s the easy thing to pick on her for.

I like Rand Paul but I’ve heard he is not doing well in the poll.

Huma Abedin has a small child. So I can see why that might change the equation. Untangling the Clinton finances could be done by lawyers and kept confidential. I think not having divorced him after they left the White House sends the wrong message. It tells the women who admire her that it’s okay to be a doormat.

It was a different world when Jackie didn’t divorce JFK or Eleanor divorce FDR. For one thing, very few people knew about those infidelities, so they could save face and stay. Eleanor only stayed with FDR for his political career. Jackie had small children and likely wanted to continue the myth of “Camelot” that everything was perfect.

If the Clintons want to get divorced they will get divorced.

Their sex lives are their business.
