Funny watching fox news talk go on talking about clinton emails like nothing special is happening today, while you know behind the camera is absolute chaos as they try to figure out how to cover this thing.

What are the chances that two more controversies leak before the next debate? I assume there must be more that Clinton's campaign has uncovered.

Even if the Clinton campaign has other things to leak, the smart play would be to let this story breathe. Don't let anything else suck the oxygen out from it.

Whenever things like this unfold for Trump, I like to check all the major news sites...and then fire up the Fox News site and channel. The story is nowhere on their main page. On the channel, they're talking about Hillary's e-mails and celebrating the channel's proud 20th anniversary.

I have a feeling the NYT and WaPo are collectively sitting on enough shit on Trump to last until the election. And some media outlets were saying that - after a terrible couple of weeks - the Trump campaign was could breathe a sigh of relief this week because of Pence's decent performance at the debate on Tuesday.

So much for that :lol

My guess is that the powers that be in the channel are talking about it right now. And they are speaking very quickly and very loudly.

This has to be more a product of timing, right? Vultures are circling Trump now, people are eager to jump at something. I mean, I've heard Colbert and Oliver quote worse over the summer and it didn't catch on.

I was just watching this the other week:

Anderson Cooper and/or an audience member is almost certainly going to bring this up at the debate, if Clinton doesn't bring it up first. Is that domestic abuse question still on the cards?

so it only takes decades for a narcissistic sociopath with a long, consistent, varied and serious history of being an asshole before the media will turn on them.

british politicians should watch out.

The AP story I posted a few days ago:

NEW YORK — In his years as a reality TV boss on "The Apprentice," Donald Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language, according to show insiders who said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he'd like to have sex with.

The Associated Press interviewed more than 20 people — former crew members, editors and contestants — who described crass behavior by Trump behind the scenes of the long-running hit show, in which aspiring capitalists were given tasks to perform as they competed for jobs working for him.

The staffers and contestants agreed to recount their experiences as Trump's behavior toward women has become a core issue in the presidential campaign. Interviewed separately, they gave concurring accounts of inappropriate conduct on the set.

Eight former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka.

During one season, Trump called for female contestants to wear shorter dresses that also showed more cleavage, according to contestant Gene Folkes. Several cast members said Trump had one female contestant twirl before him so he could ogle her figure.

Randal Pinkett, who won the program in December 2005 and who has recently criticized Trump during his run for president, said he remembered the real estate mogul talking about which female contestants he wanted to sleep with, even though Trump had married former model Melania Knauss earlier that year: "He was like 'Isn't she hot, check her out,' kind of gawking, something to the effect of 'I'd like to hit that.' "

The Trump campaign issued a general denial. "These outlandish, unsubstantiated, and totally false claims fabricated by publicity hungry, opportunistic, disgruntled former employees, have no merit whatsoever," said Hope Hicks, Trump's campaign spokeswoman. "'The Apprentice' was one of the most successful prime-time television shows of all time and employed hundreds of people over many years, many of whom support Mr. Trump's candidacy." She declined to answer specific questions that were emailed and declined an interview request.

Former producer Katherine Walker said Trump frequently talked about women's bodies during the five seasons she worked with him and said he speculated about which female contestant would be "a tiger in bed."

Contestant Poppy Carlig, who performed the twirl, said she considered Trump's request "playful banter." She added: "I don't immediately jump to the conclusion that people are having bad intentions with what they are saying. He said I reminded him of his daughter and I thought that was really touching because I know how much he values his family."

Twelve former contestants or members of the crew spoke on the record about what they described as Trump's inappropriate behavior. Another nine spoke to the AP about their concerns regarding Trump's treatment of female colleagues but said they did not want to be identified because they signed non-disclosure agreements, or were concerned about wrecking their careers or retaliation from Trump.

Most offered no opinion on the November election in the course of their interviews, but the majority of those who did said only that they were not supporting Trump.

A little perplexing that they would release the story today when all the news for the next couple days will be focused on the Hurricane.

Agreed. "I apologize if..." and "I'm not a racist, but..." are two statements where I will immediately start hating a person and cut off all contact. Unless they're going for the non sequitur ending to prove their point.

But Hillary deleted emails and she has tuberculosis, West Nile and Zika!

This is just one of Bill's little mistresses that Hillary paid off to say this!

The Trump sheep will just dig their heels in and act like the source is fishy, meanwhile they'll believe everything about Hillary shared on Facebook.

Wow. This is going to disillusion some of his biggest remaining supporting demographics (old people) because this totally conflicts with the religious right, tradition, etc. Having it on recording - Clinton will just buy ads and air it censored.

Is it too late for someone else to enter the race? If not I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Bushes publicly endorse Clinton and Romney endorse Johnson/Weld.
