According to reports, she was three months pregnant when Trump propositioned the married women referred to in the recording.

Speaking of apologies, do you think Trump apologized to his wife?  I doubt it.

 

I like to think Trump is not a man enough to be the child's farther, as depicted in the statues of him lacking in a certain department...

It's just unfortunate for him that the bus was bugged and the whole conversation was being recorded.

 

Not bugged and clandestine, he was "mic'd up," meaning he had a wireless microphone on his lapel.

Anyone can be a star and grab pussies, just hang out in Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy.  I expect to be seeing The Donald there after the election.

Why did this take so long? 

Why did the republicans ever allow this horrid candidate to be nominated in the first place?

 

Anyway ... it's almost over now!

Quote

The Republican nominee's talk of sexually preying on women makes Romney's '47 percent' tape seem like a high-minded Great Courses lecture.
 

...

Trump — a compulsively public politician who has mouthed some of the most hilarious (intentionally or otherwise), offensive, fact-allergic and misogynistic statements by anyone competing in the public arena — might be ultimately undone by a private admission about a woman he wanted to have sex with.
...
“This is what we call irony… A guy who really loves f---ing, you know, he basically just f---ed himself out of the race.”

Utah Republican House Congressman Chaffetz who led the investigation into Hillary's private email server as Chairman of the House Oversight Committee announced he's no longer voting for Donald. He said of Donald's recording, "This was not just locker talk -- this was offensive." He officially withdrew his endorsement of Donald.

• Republican VP Nominee Pense said he was offended by Donald's remarks made in 2005 and cancelled plans to represent him at a political rally.
• Senate Republican John Thune called on Donald to withdraw from the race and let Pence run for President.
• Senator McCain said he won't vote for Trump.
• Republican Senators Mike Capo (Neveda) and Kelly Ayotte (New Hampshire) formally pulled their support of Donald.

More girly men?

Mainstream News Media.

You make uncredited statements. Look on your own time, not so hard to find.

Yes, I summarized several news reports into one reply.

Wait until you hear Donald's interviews on Howard Stern over a 17-year period. Stern asked Donald if he had an age limit (for sex with women). Donald replied that no, he has no age (limit). He didn't want to be like (Republican) Congressman Foley with 12-year olds. PS: Foley was seen sitting behind Donald at a Donald rally on August 10th near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Wonder if they compared notes?

If Trump had been running as a Democrat, he could have raped women, and the leftists would have defended him like they did Bill.

Hillary enabled her husband’s predatory behavior, forced his victims into silence, that makes her a direct accomplice, and the left dismisses that and are now “offended” over Trump’s locker room talk.

I think that a GOP sponsored write-in campaign for Pence as POTUS may be an option if Donald doesn't resign from the campaign. Pence is already on all 50 state ballots as VP candidate so it would be simple for voters to write in his name as POTUS. But only 43 of 50 states allow a Presidential write-in. Perhaps a bigger barrier for a write-in is the electoral college that requires certified electoral representatives for a POTUS candidate. Even if the GOP were to get all Donald's electoral college representatives to agree to switch to Pence, there may not be enough time to do so and likely Donald and/or his supporters might forestall such action with a lawsuit.

 

I think that it is also the possibility for the RNC to divert its POTUS campaign funds from Donald to GOP downstream elections, ie., US congressional representative, state congressional representative and governor races.

They have already been doing that.

And rightly so.

You progressives need to stop pushing on this Trump issue so hard. Unless you want to lose. The only way Hilary has a shot at office is by having someone as odious as her to run against. With Trump out the Republicans could put in anything with a pulse and get the win.

I think they missed their opportunity for that. Too late in the game now. Ballots are printed. People have voted already.
