Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should focus on issues more important than former President Bill Clinton’s “sexual life.”

Trump had criticized 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Twitter and alluded to her husband Bill’s former affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Sanders said on ABC’s “This Week” that he didn’t think Trump’s comments were fair game and suggested the real estate mogul focus on more important issues, such as climate change and tax breaks.

“I think, you know, we have enormous problems facing this country and I think we have got more things to worry about than Bill Clinton’s sexual life,” Sanders said.

  1. Misogyny and racism is about all Trump has Bernie. Take that away and what’s left?

  2. There are things that are more important than re-hashing Bill Clinton’s sexcapades and reacting to Trump’s latest mouth-sharts? Impossible! Who let this maniac near a microphone!?!?

  3. Um…the subcutaneous layer of misogyny and racism?

  4. Trump’s been married multiple times so I’m sure there are escapades he’d rather not be made public.

  5. If that’s where this is headed, it’s a damned pity for the country, but on the bright side my Brain Bleach stocks are going to go through the roof! Profits will be yuuuuuuuuuuuge!
