WI: "Yes, I did have sexual relations with that woman."

It's a scandal, but it's better than committing perjury and lying under oath.

That said, it would open the door for Clinton's WORSE womanizing scandals. You know, the ones where he is accused to rape and sexual assault.

It's bad when Lewinski is one of the BETTER sex scandals Clinton had, just oddly enough, the one he least managed to hide, cover up or defend.
 
There are way too many people in this thread who seem to forget that OTL Al Gore WON the election, but lost the presidency due to election fraud from the Bush family and other pro-republicans. No one remembers how thousands of votes were thrown away to give the winning numbers to Bush? Or how thousands of blacks were stripped of their voting registration right before the election?

Clinton avoiding having lied and perjured himself means that overall the election will be even more in favor of Gore, but Bush might still become president anyway if they can stretch the cheating far enough...
 
One side effect would be less moralistic dems in their 2019 than in ours. This means more focus on economics, paying off hollywood by easing off on FCC content rules, faster pushes on marijuana instead of "intersectional" stuff.

This would be excellent, it means that democrats would go full social liberalism and there would be even less appeal for the GOP on younger generations. With clearer camps and less space for "hypocrisy" turning off moderates and undecided people, the far right will have to be more clear about their desire to turn back the clock on social issues, and thus become even less appealing.
 
Many liked him as president even on the right. Many republicans voters liked Bill a lot during that time. Many considered him moderate and he ran the country during a era that many Americans looked at as a better time then what came after.
I think the reason Gingrich decided to impeach Clinton over Lewinksy was that he (Gingrich) was becoming unpopular with his own party and Clinton was winning Republicans over, so Gingrich was desparate to stay Speaker. He hoped that impeaching Clinton would result in elderly voters rewarding him for kicking out the adulterous Boomer.
 
Clinton would have to not lie in the Jones Harassment deposition

So he probably loses the suit or has to settle because they then have the pattern of him soliciting women in the workplace

Him losing the suit or having to settle (combined with admitting a consensual affair with Lewinsky) is far better than perjuring himself, and having Lewinsky sign a false statement for the court and doing a big lie to the public
 
gore couldn't win even with democrats rallying around him for partisan reasons due to lewinsky dood

gore being potus is low probability, guys

What? NO! All Al Gore had to do is spend money and time in New Hampshire and he wins. NH voted Democratic in the previous two elections and every election since 2000. Gore wasted money and time in Florida when he didn't need the State. The election was his to lose and he lost it.
