Not even comparable.
Have you ever known anyone from Oklahoma? That "Indian princess" family lore is silly, not sinister, and of course she has some Cherokee ancestry. Like I said, Oklahoma.
Having said that, I would never vote for her, for more substantial reasons. And she got where she is by first, studying hard, becoming an expert in bankruptcy law, and then making sure she got the credit for it -- by marrying well, among other things. She has a lot in common with the Clintons and Tony Blair, and with Biden, for that matter.

@KRSonbe With respect to his resume, and his repeated plagiarism. I didn't say Biden was the same or worse in general, although he has been casual with the truth concerning various aspects of the pandemic (promising there would be no vaccine mandates, claiming the vaccines prevent contraction, etc., that sort of thing). Trump never lied on his resume because he had no desire to inflate his academics, and he didn't plagiarize because he didn't think anyone writes better than he does. :D
I also wonder about just how much he imposed on women. His reputation while in the Senate was horrible, but back in his day, people thought that was amusing, and even charming. "Randy," they used to call it. By all accounts, Trump was worse.

@KRSonbe Therefore it didn't happen. Say, when did he apologize? At a politically opportune moment, or did he risk anything whatsoever by mouthing the words? Did she accept his apology? Hmm. That's awfully facile.
You're not going to look up his resume lies, repeated and genuinely bizarre plagiarism (such as plagiarizing items from someone else's biography), the article from 2008, or the ones from the time of the Clarence Thomas hearings? No, huh? Well, he did apologize, so . . . If you go back and READ what I wrote, the POINT was not only what he did to Hill, but what the ambience was at the time he did it, how he treated women, and WHY. That's where you can find information about his reputation concerning how he viewed and treated women during that time. That's what you asked about. Not whether he's truly sorry now.

@KRSonbe Where did you see this interview? More important, was it prepared for the last election, or did it take place back in the 1990s, contemporaneous with events? You do know that people make calculated, self-serving statements, don't you? Did you expect anyone to say anything different during the 2020 election? To paraphrase Diderot, do you job any old way but always praise the master. 18th century. Not news.
I don't recall Hill forgiving him. I seem to recall having read something different, NYTimes, in fact, but I will look it up. She, unlike Biden, is courageous, and not opportunistic. Can the rest of us forgive him? His actions gave us Thomas for life.
(You still don't remember the fake resume and plagiarism, by the way?)
I can't believe Americans. They pick their heroes from among politicians and billionaires. No wonder you're in the sauce you're in.
