The reason ... how can anything be seen as shocking about Trump, when the country's grown used to shocking statements and behavior from him? Things like the "grab 'em in the p***y" audio and Jan. 6 are the norm, so ya can't be surprised ... that's Bill's theory, anyway, and it makes a lot of sense.
