And such a graceful exit --
blaming "establishment" Democrats and corporate types rather than taking some responsibility for his actions. This is not like it turned on a single accuser from 20 years ago. It's undisputed that he was sexting staffers while newly married.
Where there's this much smoke, there's a fire or two. His flat out denials are about as believable as Trump's.
So on the way out he's poisoning the well so that no Democrat can win. It's exactly what Trump will do in 2028 (but to the GOP) if he lives that long.
