It won't help him to go down that path and say that the former president was just as lewd in private chats as he is (and he's the husband of the other candidate of course, so what does that say) , but it probably won't hurt him at this point either.Press keeps trying to sensationalize each and everything they he's done and turn it against him,but the support numbers are still there.
Not a normal election, not a normal candidate, and his bluntness and faults may be more relateable to many then Clinton as a robotic, manufactured product of the political system over the past 3 decades. And votes going his way are more for complete lack of trust in Clinton then it is in him and he seems to have said as much in the article above.
Sad all around.

Trump wants to accuse Hillary of being part of the reason Bill cheated in the first place. Wants to paint her as a cold shrew etc.

That Trump had considered such an attack was more fully fleshed out by his surrogates and by the candidate himself in an array of TV news interviews Tuesday morning. The GOP nominee told Fox News that “I really eased up because I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings” in Monday night’s debate, and that “I may hit her harder in certain ways” in future debates.
“I think that if you look at Hillary Clinton's background and if you look at her being an enabler, really, in the '90s and really attacking these women, it goes against everything that she now tries to spout as a candidate for president,” Bossie said on Fox News’s “Fox and Friends” Wednesday morning. “She'll say and do anything. Those are Barack Obama's words, not mine. She'll say and do anything to become president of the United States. And I think we're seeing that now.”

That's from Trumps campaign.

I just find it odd is all.

It was defensible because the team only punished him for a couple of games. Once it became clear they had to hand down a harsher punishment they did, but it's not like without the video they viewed his actions as that egregious.
