you staunchly support a woman who enabled a sexual predator and rapist --- Clinton has never been tried for rape. Unless you have evidence that will hold up in a court of law all you have is your wishful thinking slanderous bullshit, as usual. Donald has also been accused of rape by Ivana and an under-aged girl. By your logic he's also a rapist.
