TRUMP'S HISTORY OF INFIDELITY???

Donald Trump’s threat to seat Gennifer Flowers, who had an extramarital affair with Bill Clinton, in the front row at Monday night’s presidential debate focuses new attention on Trump’s own history of infidelity and could further weaken his support among female voters.

Trump’s suggestion, delivered Saturday via a tweet, was widely seen as an effort to rattle Hillary Clinton ahead of Monday’s high-stakes debate and fired up some of his hardcore supporters. Trump’s campaign reversed course Sunday, saying Flowers was not going to be invited to the debate.

Even so, some analysts questioned whether it was wise for Trump to even bring up the issue in an attempt to smear Clinton for the failings of her husband, especially given his own playboy past.

“Why is he doing this to Hillary Clinton?” said Mary Anne Marsh, a Democratic strategist. “This is not about her behavior, it’s something that happened to her. Women will not see this as fair.

“His base will love it, but the very voters he needs — white, college-educated women — will not,” she said. “It will hurt him.”
