Republican candidate Donald Trump has labelled former President Bill Clinton the “greatest woman abuser of all time” as part of a savage attack against his wife and the Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters in the early-voting state of New Hampshire, a soft-spoken Bill Clinton made his first stump for his wife in the 2016 election cycle, declining to respond to criticism over infidelities during his time in the Oval Office, and praising his wife’s career both in and out of politics. The tactic was a topic of discussion on Monday, which marked Bill Clinton’s first solo campaign appearance on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
His late-comer introduction to the campaign trail could be a strategically significant move for the former secretary of state who, despite leading in many national surveys, still trails Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire opinion polls.
The billionaire claimed Hillary Clnton was an “enabler” to her husband’s “seedy” affair with Monica Lewinsky in a rant on news channel CNN.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe“, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski sat down for wide-ranging interview with Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
“A lot of it will be reversed if we get a Republican Congress and a Republican president, and we need to stop that”, said Clinton, who spoke for about 30 minutes to more than 700 people at a gymnasium at Nashua Community College. “We’ve got to do it. What’s the point of a New Hampshire primary if we don’t?”
Hillary Clinton, her husband said, offers the best path to economic prosperity, dealing with social problems like heroin addiction and foreign policy that doesn’t undermine the American character.
“Some people say it’s a liability to have President Bill Clinton come to an event but personally I grew up in the 90’s”, one voter said.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has kept her focus on assailing Trump’s message. With a hoarse voice and looking a bit more frail, the 69-year-old from Arkansas declared that “I don’t fit anymore” in the political scene.
“Bill Clinton is the explainer-in-chief; he is able to discuss issues in a way that people really understand, so I think that role is important for him to be playing”, said Demers.

Trump was repeatedly interrupted by hecklers during his Monday event in Lowell, Massachusetts, in which over six different groups shouted during his speech. I think he could make a good case for anybody, though.
