This thought just occurred to me.<\/p>\n

Donald J. Trump’s “threat” to introduce former President Bill Clinton’s marital infidelity has done the job already. He has made the president’s dalliances — alleged and proven — an issue in this campaign.<\/p>\n

Thus, he has lowered the bar of standards to new and disgusting levels.<\/p>\n

Whether he brings it up when he and Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton meet in their second joint appearance really is moot at this point. He’s done it already.<\/p>\n

The media are talking about it. Trump, the GOP nominee, has told reporters that he is considering whether to raise the issue.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the issue is out there. It’s on the table.<\/p>\n

Here, though, is my question: How is this even relevant to the kind of job that Hillary Clinton would do as president?<\/p>\n

I cannot discern any reasonable rationale for making this an issue in the 2016 presidential contest.<\/p>\n

Then again, Donald Trump has defied reason and rationality all along the way en route to this point in the campaign.<\/p>\n\n
