Not sure if you meant it as a compliment, unlike a number here I don't argue out of my element, nor play devil's advocate, sometimes I am not clear in what I write, and if its legitimate and pointed out to me I will take the time to explain

Interesting- why why do you call me a paedophile, then?
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) traveled the state Tuesday declaring himself innocent of any potential wrongdoing in a federal investigation into his 2013 campaign and personal finances, even as supporters and critics alike puzzled over its impact.
McAuliffe, 59, plowed ahead with a full day of events around Virginia scheduled before news broke Monday about an FBI investigation into his finances. Asked for his reaction, McAuliffe offered one word: “Shock.” He said no one from the Justice Department notified him or his administration of the ongoing public integrity probe.
McAuliffe said the investigation had nothing to do with Clinton. “I’m governor now, I’m not her campaign chairman anymore,” he said.

NEW YORK—Citing her lackluster support among young voters, campaign consultants to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner who has served as both a U.S. senator and secretary of state, reportedly instructed the candidate this week to be more inspiring. “Right now, voters are looking for a candidate who stands for real societal change, someone who can stir something inside them,” said media advisor Jim Margolis, urging the woman—who overcame entrenched societal biases to build a successful legal career, became the first female senator elected in the state of New York, oversaw the Department of State during a period of widespread international tumult, and, if elected, would be the first female president in American history—to appear more uplifting to voters. “Many young people have completely lost faith in the political process, and they want to believe that true progress is actually possible. They want someone who embodies progressive ideals.” Margolis added that Clinton was too much a part of the establishment she spent decades breaking down barriers to enter.

Most feminists, myself included, think that she was a strong figure. From what I've read she tore him a new one, then fixed the marriage. He grew up. She stepped up and became one of the most powerful politicians in the world.
Pretty impressive. It gets thrown at her as if it's a flaw, but it really ends up looking good for her. She got pissed, and she fixed it, and went on to bigger things.

The "fixed the marriage" part is what I don't understand. Is that something that is seen as necessary and noble or unnecessary and silly? She said at one point in the last few months that Bill is a much better politician than she is, in part to explain her issues in that regard. The overall tenor is that she is a "governor" type and Bill is a "politician" type and that she needs the politician type to help her win. I've seen many of her speeches: very intelligent and seems like she would govern well, but lacking in charisma.
I guess my point is, does it bother feminists (you included) that the impression of her is that she succeeds because of Bill, rather than in spite of him?

Is that the impression? Speaking as an outsider I got the impression that she succeeds because she is competent, albeit struggling to succeed in the presidential race because she is fairly unpersonable and a complete Establishment stooge.

His attacks on Bill really undermine public perception of her as a strong women, someone who stands up for women's issues, which are virtues for the feminist image she tries to portray. If I remember correctly, Bill Clinton was accused of rape. Look how she stood up for those women when it went against her interests.

Well, there's a pretty easy way to see if that's true or not. How's Trump doing in the polls vs Clinton among women voters? Can you provide any evidence at all that he's winning?

I saw this earlier. I guarantee this does not affect him one iota with his supporters. There is literally nothing he can do that will lead to him receiving less votes. To be honest, I love it. It's driving the political media crazy.

Why is the candidates sex relevant here?

Because it suggests that Trump is a misogynist just like saying "this is my African American" suggests that he's racist.
BUT HIS SUPPORTERS DON'T GIVE A f*ck! This is what cracks me up so much. The media and Trump's opponents literally keep pointing to these kinds of things, apparently not realizing that IT DOESN'T MATTER!
