For millenials, a very good FRontline doc on Hillary Clinton and the Donald .. their histories

.. I recommend this to millenials, especially those who think 'history' started with BS's run at the Democratic Nomination. I would like to suggest that Frontline is a better source of info than raging Rightwinger websites or cable tv shows.

Hillary was on the committee that looked into whether Nixon should be impeached. So, the GOP actually hated Hillary BEFORE they hated Bill!

The story of Trump was so disgusting, I could barely get through it....
it just made me sick to my stomach....literally!

The portions on Hillary were much better for my stomach.....
but since her story is interwoven into his.....it was a hard watch....
but I agree that it is a good one to watch for contrast on these very different candidates.

too (well, you kinda had to, if you didn't want to miss Hillary's history). I watched to see how good or bad a job on Hillary they did. They did okay, but they left out a significant part of her earlier career working for women and children.

But I did not know about Roy Cohn being Trump's lawyer. That Cohn looked every bit as disgusting as he was as a person. His look betrayed the maliciousness of his character.

Frontline documentaries are usually good. They are packed with large amounts of information. It is a great show to watch in order to be informed.
