Re “Her Husband Accused of Affairs, a Defiant Clinton Fought Back” (front page, Oct. 3):

For a candidate to put the pain of Hillary and Bill Clinton’s marriage troubles in the glaring light of politics is a shameful choice. Those who throw stones need to address their own transgressions. But Americans and the Clintons should not dignify the situation with counterattacks on Donald Trump’s family, to avoid causing pain to his wives and children.

The American people put this scandal to rest years ago, and today we understand: No marriage is flawless. Republicans tried to exploit the Clintons’ marital issues during Bill’s presidency, having not learned that Americans can separate the Clintons’ private matters from all they have accomplished.

The right-wing attempts should fail again. Americans will vote for their candidates based on the important issues of today.

Note from KBJ: Bill Clinton is a serial rapist. That he hasn't been prosecuted for any of his crimes doesn't make it any less true that they occurred. Hillary Clinton sought to destroy his victims so as to retain political power for her husband and herself, which makes her an enabler, a hypocrite (because she claims to be a feminist), and a political opportunist. She is unfit to be president, as more and more Americans are coming to see.
