Easy fix... put him in a room full of balloons!
Well that and the fact Trump's go to defense seems to be bringing up 20 to 30 year old Clinton sex scandals. The flagrant hypocrisy of this campaign knows no bounds.

Fortunately for us, I think a Hillary presidency is just going to fan the anti-establishment flames among the GOP base, and they'll end up with some lunatic again in 2020.
Trump would never try to use his position of power to prey upon women. He can safely take the high ground here.
He was VP nominee under Romney 2012. Not sure why he didn't run this time unless he really believed Jeb was going to be it. Or maybe he didn't want it anymore. After all, he had to be seriously courted and coaxed to take on his current position.
I laughed. Off to call my mom...
Is interesting because you are seen those Trump Supporters turning against Rep who are drooping their endorsement on Donald Trump....Bush might very well be the lat Rep president after this.
He'll be a frontrunner in 2020.

All the "locker room talk" posts, man. Here and elsewhere. Wish a mod (and the news) would change the titles to something more like "Trump recorded in 2005 confessing to felonies and planning on committing more felonies".
Premeditated sexual assault. Seriously. If you know guys that talk like that in real life, report them to the police maybe? Warn away the women they come in contact with?
It isn't normal, it shouldn't be normalized or defended as if it were.

1. He's spineless. 2. He ran as VP candidate a few years back and lost. 3. He probably will run in 4 or 8 years.

I think Paul Ryan saw the writing on the wall before the primary even kicked off.
He is still young for a politician and if he wants to run for President he can still do so even if takes the Republican party 10-20 years to try and put the pieces back together.

Lmao.
The "but bill!!!" thing is incredibly weak footing. If you let trump into the White House what is to say given this evidence he doesn't just do the same thing Bill Clinton did since he just admitted that he used his celebrity status to go after women
Maybe he likes a more cushy job with easier links to financial gain. Seems like the screw you got mine type and walks over anyone for more dollars.

If my dvr gave me a choice between sunday night nfl or the 2nd debate i'd pick the debate. It's gonna be lit.
It's our one chance to legitamely and seriously say "pussy" to old people and justifiably make them outrageously uncomfortable. Have to take full advantage of it.
Shes also a huge Trump supporter.
My mom was leaning towards him until I shamelessly manipulated her by saying, "But mom, he's everything you taught me not to be."
It totally worked too. If it hadn't, "President Pussy Grabber" definitely would have turned her off.

I don't get why Trump doesn't step down... he is toast. Can't delegate just withdraw their support and re-open the nomination?

he thinks backing out is a sign of weakness and it's bad for his image (it kinda is, his whole business is based on him pretending to be the master negotiator who never quits or fails)

You have no idea how much I need it!
This is a weird sentiment to me. We know rape culture exists. We know men make rape jokes and laugh about sexual assault. Women have been telling us men act like this for centuries. It actually seems weirdly regressive to say, "lol yeah right" to those of us who have heard it first hand.
Trump doesn't have to be special in order for this to be wrong. You can just despise everyone who talks like this and count him among them.
There should be a distinction between saying, "Sadly this is all too common." And defending him.
I mean, again, Family Guy exists and douche bags quote Quagmire unironically. People like Chris Brown. People defended Daniel Tosh. People glorify villains from movies who sexually assault women as cool "anti-heroes." There are hit songs framing sexual assault as being sexy and cool.
Many men seriously don't respect women. It's not news and kinda gross to pretend it is IMO. That's not the same thing as defending Trump.

I hope you're right and this kills him but Trump is like a zombie, he just won't die.
It really is perfect. People's instinct is automatic "don't say that word!!!"
"I'm only saying what the man you support says"
*tortured mental backflips*
*popcorn*
I'm curious about that too. I've seen people mention it, but no links to where the info came from.

Thank you.
Yeah, I get it. But Pence stands a much better chance against Clinton than he ever did. At this point will Pence just back down to try to dissociate himself from this shit?

Ya, it's also the sexual assault but he's said he could shoot a person on the street and retain his base. He's said he'll kill family members of accused terrorists. He's said all kinds of racist and sexist things not just during the election but for his whole career. There's something to the use of the word "pussy". If he had implied sexual assault without using blatant language, I wonder if this would have blown up.
+1. It seems like those people making these comments are truly oblivious to the most important part of the recording, which is his statement that he can do whatever he wants because of his status. Instead they try to make it about the "dirty words" he used...

The RNC could force a change it looks like, yes. But the issue is that it is 30 days from the election. And some states have already started voting. Ballots are already finalized and out there due to absentee voters.
It's too late to change that. The RNC would have to start a write-in campaign and hope voters actually can write in the new person.
That's not going to happen. And if they try it, it will fail spectacularly.
Imagine if Trump was caught saying something about his daughter like 'yeah totally would'
I wonder if Trump or some party affiliated with him in secret is trying buy the tapes right now.

People don't realize the older you get, the more you are stuck in your ways. He's not drastically changing from 59 to 69. But from 20 to 30 or 10 to 20 makes a huge difference. His argument can eat a dick.
Im hoping for one more before the debate. The implosion that will ensue will be amazing.
WaPo is probably on to it.
Oh my god this is too glorious

It really is. My mom is the kind of person who will gasp and tell me she raised me better. Yeah, mom you did... now how do you feel about voting for a sexual predator?
I think he wanted to avoid becoming Speaker because he'll be blamed for any fuck ups by Congress under his watch. He saw this shit coming and wanted to stay on the sidelines until the party was ready to be rebuilt under his leadership.
Now, he's almost assuredly going down with the ship.
