I just do not understand the focus on Monica Lewinsky. That was obviously consensual, and yes, there are plenty of men and women who will engage in sexual activity with people who are famous or powerful because they are famous or powerful. It's certainly sordid, but no, rube, that isn't rape.
It's all the other allegations of non-consensual sexual activity that are the problem. And there's too much smoke there to ignore, even for someone with the types of political enemies Bill Clinton has. If you honestly review the history of these allegations and come away thinking "I really can't tell if there's anything to be concerned about here, this could all be made up nonsense", I simply do not give your critical reasoning skills a ton of credit.
... And yes, Trump is worse, because as far as I know there are no credible allegations of Clinton sexually assaulting children. But "he's not the worst predator ever to occupy the oval office" is not the hill you want to be fighting on.
