Trump campaign reporter on MSNBC by phone says the campaign thinks this can be a "teachable moment" and that Trump can apologize and then just move past it.

Do you think Putin has given up at this point and accepted the status quo will continue?

He's literally halfway there so it was a decent gamble. He just forgot about the non-idiot portion of the population.
Thought he could get free publicity for his businesses...backfired gloriously.

Really sucks this happened on a Friday. Usually people put out news on this day to bury it. Cause weekend news really nobody watches.

Yup Foxnews is a clownshow during prime time. I know people who practically worship O'Reilly and Hannity.

Billy Bush's adolescent snickering just makes the whole thing feel even grosser. It's like he's trying so hard to impress Trump. Hope this bites him in the ass, too.
My thoughts exactly. I'm so happy tonight. Trump had already lost this election - now he's going to get fucking demolished. And all his piece of shit supporters can see that the majority of the country does not think like them.
Who needs just one October Surprise when you can have an advent calendar full of them? What's behind door number 8?
Sure, more people will hate him. But he still has a sizeable fanbase. One that he can make millions from.

Plus this is going to lead right into the debate.
Ego. It's what everything is about to him.
Because people who are just looking for a reason to dislike/distrust Hillary will see a big wall of text that is being touted as a scandal and assume the worst. Armed with a few out-of-context quotes they will spread the good word across the internet.
Hahahaha.
His ego. Him being embarrassed by a Black man basically.
His kids must hate him currently even if thy hide it. They had it all.
That Trump lady on CNN said the same thing. Basically, he can now show how good of a person he really is by apologizing. Because Hillary never REALLY apologized. But Trump now will.

I take the threat of a trump presidency seriously, but I really could not help but laugh at that.

He wasn't a groomed politician in 2000 and isn't a groomed politician now.

Oh yeah, keep forgetting a debate is this weekend. Lets hope we get some woman up there grilling Trump. Lets see him spin this.
Publicity.
And because Obama hurt his feelings at the WHC Dinner, if Omarosa is to be believed.
Hannity just a second ago: "Don't you think the Clinton campaign has had this for a long time? Don't you think they waited to release this on Wiki Leaks day?"
Dude doesn't even know what was in those leaks. They actually make Clinton look better.
Your defense of him has been appalling for months.
Your defense of him TODAY, of all days, is simply fucking disgusting.
Debate weekend, plus hurricane. Lots of people are clinging to the news. This HAD to come before the debate (if we can even call it that anymore - it's really just a big show at this point).

Babbling.
According the PBS Frontline doc, Trump's reasons for wanting to run for President (this time around) can be traced back to the White House correspondents dinner in 2011 where he was thoroughly roasted and humiliated by Obama. Since Trump is the kind of person who never gets talked down to or put in his place, he vowed revenge on everybody who laughed at him by proving them wrong and showing he could actually run for President.

That Dinesh guy that made that conspiracy theory movie about how evil democrats are is on Hannity and just called Hillary a hag (dirty or evil hag, can't remember, "They are trying to drag that _____ hag to the finish line")
I said the same thing much earlier in the thread. But I think it's pretty clear that this isn't going to be buried, and will be a major issue going forward.

He also has a woman on that said she wishes Sean had one of those Town Halls scheduled so that he could ask men in the room how many of them haven't said something like that. She wrote it off as normal locker room banter.
You're a terrible person, too. Congrats.

It's gonna come up at the debate, and you best believe plenty of hot takes will be had long afterwards.

I'm in no way defending what he said.
It's not something that should be said in private or public conversations.
What I am saying is this isn't drop out material for Trump.
It's a Friday before a debate meaning it will still be fresh and raw come Sunday night. Its release date isn't an accident, it's a nuclear bomb.

This and Trump trying to throw a wrench in the legitimacy of the elected President with his supporters have been my biggest concerns. The GOP could have put up somebody sensible with far less experience than Clinton, and they probably would have won just because it was time to change the guard. But now the fringe elements are basically picking who steps up to the plate, and I honestly don't know how they fix that in 4 years. Clinton would have an incumbent advantage in 2020 but everyone and their mother on the right is going to step up thinking they can snatch it after 12 years under Democrats. It's going to be another large pool of candidates and I'm sure we'll have someone that will be using Trump's playbook to snatch the primaries.
I'm a Democrat, but the adversarial nature of politics is a pretty important aspect of our system. Would I vote for a Romney or a Bush? No. But I wouldn't be concerned about them torpedoing our relationships with foreign allies. Letting someone like Trump get this close to the White House is troubling. Unless they really work on turning things around, I can't see a Republican winning their own primary by having to appeal to the fringe, and then being able to walk it all back and win the general. They're just way too far from center and long overdue for a party adjustment
Oh really? Getting caught bragging about sexually assaulting women isn't drop out material? What is then pray tell?
Well yeah Trump won't choose to drop out. Why would he? He doesn't care about the party. But he should.

Trump could choke a dog on national tv on election day and still get 48%.
