“Ivana is now a media goddess on par with Princess Di, Madonna, and Elizabeth Taylor,” Liz Smith reported. Months earlier, Ivana had undergone cosmetic reconstruction with a California doctor. She emerged unrecognizable to her friends and perhaps her children, as fresh and innocent of face as Heidi of Edelweiss Farms. Although she had negotiated four separate marital-property agreements over the last fourteen years, she was suing her husband for half his assets. Trump was trying to be philosophical. “When a man leaves a woman, especially when it was perceived that he has left for a piece of ass—a good one!—there are 50 percent of the population who will love the woman who was left,” he told me.
Ivana had hired a public-relations man to help her in her new role. “This is all very calculated,” one of her advisers told me. “Ivana is very shrewd. She’s playing it to the hilt.”
Bernie Sanders Recants 1972 Article on Women’s Fantasies of Rape
MUSCATINE, Iowa — Senator Bernie Sanders said a 1972 article he wrote describing women’s fantasies of rape had been misinterpreted, and its resurfacing showed how campaigns had become “soap operas.’’
“That we worry what I wrote 40 or 50 years ago, to the degree they become significant in the campaign, that’s just sad,’’ Mr. Sanders said on Friday.
In the article, written for an alternative newspaper called The Vermont Freeman, Mr. Sanders imagined male and female sexual fantasies, apparently to illustrate how both sexes have internalized gender stereotypes, which he went on to write were self-defeating. The Vermont Freeman no longer exists.
“A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously,” Mr. Sanders wrote.
In another passage, he wrote: “Do you know why the newspaper with the articles like, “Girl, 12, raped by 14 men” sell so well? To what in us are they appealing?’’
At the time, Mr. Sanders was 30 and running for Vermont governor on the antiwar Liberty Union Party ticket. He lost the race. Nine years later he was elected mayor of Burlington, Vt., as an independent. The 43-year old essay resurfaced this week in an article in Mother Jones magazine about Mr. Sanders’s formative years in Vermont’s leftist counterculture.
It is bouncing around social media, where Mr. Sanders is a favorite with the left, and it is unclear if the article will become a serious distraction to Mr. Sanders’s recently announced campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Yes, rough sex in which she holed-up in her room for the rest of the night and cried.
Keep defending this man all you like. What both Bill and Trump did was despicable and I would not even attempt to justify either's actions whether I like their politics or not.
It's sickening how you or anyone else would even attempt to rationalize this in any manner.

So was Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's ex-wife.
The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.
“Your #ing doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.
What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.
“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”
Following the incident, Ivana ran upstairs, hid behind a locked door, and remained there “crying for the rest of night.” When she returned to the master bedroom in the morning, he was there.

She accused him of rape in a court deposition and as part of the divorce settlement was legally bound not to talk about anything regarding the marriage without Trump's consent. She was raped....and then silenced. But what really stuck-out was when Trump's spokesmen said on the record that "you cannot rape your wife".
It is also fact that he had an affair with Marla Maples while he was married to Ivana.
You must not be old enough to remember what Bill actually did.
You can't compare the two so knock it off. It's so offensive to see you minimize Bill actions.

Soooooo, getting back to the topic, Hilary declines to address a person that is there only to disrupt. Sounds like a good reason to me.

This and all the other "available" candidates for becoming the next POTUS makes me doubt if anyone in the USA is aware what is going on. IMHO the US citizens are being used, abused, manipulated, cheated on and betrayed by the few with the power to make or brake that great nation...under God.
For example..take Bill Clinton. When I didn't know better I considered him a great president.. But if any of the allegations are true he is a drug dealer, drug user, a rapist and a murderer. He was protected by those in power of the USA and groomed to become president.. All his accomplishments were not because of his personal effort but because of the received instructions from his handlers.
Same story with Obama and most likely same story with the next POTUS.. No matter if this will be Trump or an other Clinton.. for as long as the entire US government is not overhauled with an entire new government structure and replensihed with "fresh" politicians in congress and senate nothing will change...unless those with the real power wish to do so.
For most americans it is hard to belief that coruption rules the government and is a tool for the few with the real power to get what they want. Can you imagine what a criminal organisation can do with the resources of a nation like the US to their disposal?
Take that to the bank..?
Bill Clinton identified in lawsuit against his former friend and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein who had 'regular' orgies at his Caribbean compound that the former president visited multiple times
-The former president was friends with Jeffrey Epstein, a financier who was arrested in 2008 for soliciting underage prostitutes
-A new lawsuit has revealed how Clinton took multiple trips to Epstein's private island where he 'kept young women as sex slaves'
-Clinton was also apparently friends with a woman who collected naked pictures of underage girls for Epstein to choose from
-He hasn't cut ties with that woman, however, and invited her to Chelsea's wedding
Flight logs pinpoint Clinton's trips on Epstein's jet between the years 2002 and 2005, while he was working on his philanthropic post-presidential career and while his wife Hillary was a Senator for their adopted state of New York.
'I remember asking Jeffrey what's Bill Clinton doing here kind fo thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me a favor,' one unidentified woman said in the lawsuit, which was filed in Palm Beach Circuit Court.
The woman went on to say how orgies were a regular occurrence and she recalled two young girls from New York who were always seen around the five-house compound but their personal backstories were never revealed.
At least one woman on the compound was there unwillingly, as the suit identifies a woman as Jane Doe 102.
She 'was forced to live as one of Epstein's underage sex slaves for years and was forced to have sex with... politicians, businessmen, royalty, academicians, etc,' the lawsuit says according to The Enquirer.

It never fails after 3-4 post the topic about Hillary gets changed to topic about Trump.
Double standard I see.
It fine to point out how the Clintons are "alleged" raping scum bags but lets ignore the other leading candidates also a "alleged" rapist too!
I should be seeing condemnation for BOTH Hillary and Trump here.
The hyporcray of ATS astounds me
"I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald," she said in the statement today. "The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised 3 children that we love and are very proud of."
