"Who cares about something from 10 years ago! Also Bill Clinton was impeached 20 years ago!"

This is where years and years of brainwashed political tribalism gets us. You defend "your team" to the point of saying completely contradictory things in the same breath. Not to mention the total absence of logic (Bill Clinton isn't running for president), the sexism (Hillary being judged for her husband's actions), and the flat out denial of reality (Trumps "words" were describing his actual actions.)

Humanity has a long way to go if we can't rise above this kind of bullshit and see what's actually at stake.

I haven't had cable in a decade, and haven't watched any form of the news in about that long.

I've been glued to a stream of CNN all morning. This is a huge moment in history isn't it?
 
Chuck Todd should be driving kids to soccer practice not collecting bodies

Chuck Todd has been literally voicing my frustration with Trump's presence in this election for a while now.

I swear he probably has lost a few brain cells talking with the surrogates every week.

Yes. What's going on right now with the Republican candidate is unprecedented.

Only if Trump wins. But it is another snapshot of the slow collapse of the Republican party. Just remember everything that happens, GAF. You're kids and grandkids are going to need some perspective at Thanksgiving dinner in 20 years.

I don't think it would move the needle in any way. Any voters who have abandoned him have already done so and his image is hurt to any undecided. Hell, him saying a hard N word might gain him voters in some states.

No way. What he said is absolutely awful, he is condoning assault this is true. But he is not doing it, the words do not make him a rapist. Him saying the N word, especially in a derogatory way at someone else, is being racist. Period. There would be no denying it. Would it be worse than what is happening now? Maybe maybe not but not moving the needle at all and even getting more support is laughable. I'd love to see any of his surrogates defend that. People would start avoiding him like the plague. No his supporters won't care true enough, but what else is new?

But kind of a moot argument anyway considering we don't know what else people have on Trump.

I was being facetious.

HOLY SHIT!

I just watched the most insane response from a female voter on a panel on Face the Nation on CBS.

Face the Nation 10/09/16 said:
John Dickerson (Host): Your car is broken down; who do you want driving by? Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump? Hillary Clinton first...

*** VOTERS RAISE HANDS (Panel is 13 people) ***

Dickerson: That's 3 hands... 4 hands... 5 hands...

Dickerson: Donald Trump?

*** FIVE HANDS ***

Dickerson: Melissa, why do you want Donald Trump to stop and not Hillary Clinton?

Melissa: *LAUGHS* Ah, well, he clearly likes women...

*** ALL LAUGH ***

Melissa: ... So, I think he would feel bad for a woman that needed help. I mean, obviously, I would help myself, but giving a question like that where I choose, um, I think he would be a little bit more giving as far as paying for a tow truck. I don't think he would know how to change a tire or pop a hood to a car, but more giving with money to help you.


WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Even in the best context she's basically saying she thinks that she would be able to easily manipulate him.

But Putin? He'll have to give in to anything the Don asks.

Actually I think I'd rather be picked by Don too at this point. With everything crumbling around him, you could probably trick him into buying you a new car if you said one or two sexist things and told him you still support him.

I see the sock puppet tactic has evolved from "bu-bu-but everyone talks like this, it's no big deal" to "bu-bu-but Trump's said so much other outrageous stuff, why is this a big deal?"

Two paths toward the same result: trying to normalize "grab them by the pussy."

Labeling most Mexicans as rapists....

Suggesting Muslims shouldn't be allowed in this country....

Asking we don't we nuke our enemies....

Mocking the Islamic family of a fallen soldier....

Saying the police/race issues simply needs more law and order....

Mocking a Latin woman's appearances....

Making lewd sexual/rape remarks of a white woman and other women like her.... OH HELL NO!!!!
 
I don't understand why this is what people think will stop him. Surely his views on race, foreign policy, war etc is much worse than this.

If people supported him with all of that why is some groping and bragging his downfall? It's bad but not nearly as bad as running America with those ideologies.

I'm a Brit so just find it puzzling.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.

I dunno, there's no guarantee he'd stop. What if she's fat, disgusting, a pig or over the age of 35?

I just don't understand how any woman could support this man in any capacity.

You can be a racist, sexist piece of shit in American politics, but you can't be a sexual predator. It's as simple as that.

His own political party is bailing on him right now. It's stopping him.

It's a shame because maybe the only thing that could have stopped Brexit would have been some misogyny from Farage...
at least America is reacting to something

Umm, he's implying predatory sexual behavior in this audio, using his status to force kisses on women and the other thing of course.

He is going to win, doesn't he? I'm afraid for the world. I think if this guy wins, we as humanity are doomed and in the bottom of oblivion.

He's talking about white women now. People who put up with all that other shit are flying the coop.

His comments here are directly offensive to half the country and indirectly so to much of the other half.

What remote indication have you received that he is going to win?
He has been on track to lose for some time, even before this scandal that's caused the GOP establishment to turn on him.

Because his support has plateaued. He desperately has needed to grow his base for the last couple of months and has failed to do that, and now with this latest scandal, a month out from election day, has pretty much cemented his fate.

As a commentator pointed out yesterday, most of these key Republicans and a lot of Republicans don't know many or indeed any Mexicans, any Hispanics, LGBTQ people, black people, etc. But everyone, absolutely everyone knows a woman. Be out their mother, sister, wife, daughter etc.

This time Trump's comments regarded sexually assaulting women, rather than his previous comments about women, which many supporters would have written off as 'uncomfortable', or 'regrettable', or 'just banter'. In other words these comments regarding women are on another level, that even they see as abhorrent.

This will therefore lose Trump lots of voters, both those in his support base and those undecided, opinion makers and key Republican figures, in an election were he is already suffering with key demographics.

mother fucker

it's literally nothing new from Farage, but I just...

he's trying hard to defend Trump, so fucking hard, when it should have little to do with him

His quotes:

Cunt said:
"Look, this is alpha male boasting. It's the kind of thing, if we are being honest, that men do. They sit around and have a drink and they talk like this.

"By the way, quite a lot of women say things amongst themselves that they would not want to see on Fox News, or the front page of a newspaper. I'm not pretending it's good - it's ugly, it is ugly."

Yeah, you boast about sexual assault and say you wanna get a chinky. This is just how men are guys.
