      1. Make no mistake, by deciding to make this debate about Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct, Trump has chosen The Samson Option.

      2. The Samson Option is what you decide on when you have no hope. "If I go down in defeat, I'll take Hillary and the GOP with me."

      3.Samson Option means victory is impossible but you want to hurt your enemy. Trump wants to inflict emotional damage on Clinton

      4. Politically, what Trump is doing makes no sense. These issues have been litigated long ago and there's no one who can be persuaded.

      5. More particularly, politically this makes no sense because Bill Clinton is not on the ballot. Hillary Clinton is.

      6. Even if you believe, as I do, that Bill Clinton was at best a cad & at worst a predatorl, it's still the case Hillary is not at fault

      7. Hillary Clinton's only sin here is to be married to a very flawed man, and to have put in enormous effort to keep marriage going.

      8. About the Kathy Shelton case: under the American constitution, criminal defendants deserve a vigorous defence, which Clinton provided.

      9. Big picture is this: Trump is attacking the first female presidential nominee from major party in nastiest personal way possible

      10. It's not like Clinton isn't politically vulnerable on all sorts of policy issues, ranging from trade to immigration to foreign policy

          11. But Trump hasn't gone with policy. He's going to rub in Clinton's face the most painful parts of her personal life. That's his choice.

          12. Trump has gone with the Samson Option because that's all he can do now, after release of video of him boasting of sexual assault.

          @JuliannAndreen But that would require Trump to have a grasp of any policy issues...at all.
