Donald Trump is taking the high road, and keeping Bill Clinton’s “bimbo eruptions” away from Sunday’s presidential debate.
Candice Jackson — a lawyer who works with Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones and Dolly Kyle — was hoping to bring at least one of the women to St. Louis to sit in the front row and throw Hillary Clinton off her game.
But Jackson won’t get any help from the Republican presidential nominee.
“I want to win this election on my policies for the future, not on Bill Clinton’s past,” Trump told me via email. “Jobs, trade, ending illegal immigration, veteran care, and strengthening our military is what I really want to be talking about.”
Broaddrick has claimed she was raped by Clinton in 1978. (An attorney for Clinton has denied this.) Willey has said she was sexually assaulted by him. Jones’ sexual-harassment suit eventually contributed to Clinton’s impeachment. Kyle wrote a book about her alleged affair with the former president.
Jackson said fundraising efforts were under way to pay for plane tickets and hotel rooms, and several Clinton “victims” would come gladly, but “we don’t think we can get more than one ticket.”
If Trump has his way, there won’t even be one.
Trump’s reluctance to stock the audience with Clinton accusers explains why Gennifer Flowers wasn’t at the first debate on Long Island.
“Gennifer was willing to go and wanted to go, but never got a ticket,” Jackson said. “Trump talked about having her there, but there was no follow-through.”
Asked if the Clinton accusers had formed a club, Jackson said, “The women talk together, and they talk to me. It’s the kind of club you never want to be a member of.”
