Yeah, it's like she made a statement about Bill's accusers 25 years ago and it has to follow her to the grave. But actions speak louder than words.
Before anybody says "but, HUFFPO..." at least bring up facts to refute these paragraphs.
"Globally, no candidate has done more for women's rights than Secretary Clinton. In her time as Secretary of State, she appointed the first-ever Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues at the State Department; oversaw the creation of the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security; and introduced the Global Health Initiative (GHI), investing $63 billion to help partner countries provide robust maternal and infant health services. Secretary Clinton has worked tirelessly to elevate women's rights as the key towards economic prosperity and global stability. Her public and private initiatives have appropriated millions of dollars towards providing secondary education to young girls around the world, and tackling the obstacles that face at-risk youths.
The best predictor of future performance is past performance, and when it comes to women's issues, the record is clear. Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for women -- not simply because she is one -- but because she holds the strongest and most consistent record of effectively championing women's rights, economically, socially and politically. Breaking the ultimate glass ceiling does not constitute a political strategy, but electing a strong woman with a concrete track record of protecting and defending women's rights certainly does."

Unlike Desh I'm not under the impression that there are hundreds or thousands of people who read this board (but don't post) and make political choices based on what's said here. I also know we aren't changing each other's minds.
The basis of the thread was were Trump's comments about the Clinton's fair game or off base. I would argue that if Hillary is bringing Bill out on the campaign trail to try and benefit her based on good things he did then she's opening herself up for his negatives as well. (Same as Jeb if he brings W. out to support him). Thus Hillary's actions regarding Broderick are fair game based on her comment about sexual assault victims.
Ultimately each voter will decide for themselves how much importance they put on it. Most likely we're all going to vote for someone (it's possible someone can be a political junkie and not vote but I'm assuming most of us will vote) and that someone is going to have negatives. No candidate is perfect and without faults. So I don't think pointing out these inconsistencies with Hillary is a sign of hating her or desperation.
