There is no logic. No one's sitting on some megaton bomb. Hence, Wikileaks' expired tea.
This video alone proves that - it leaked within hours of being discovered at NBC's archives. Whatever other surprises come will be similarly fresh off the presses.

And even then, it wasn't NBC who released it (though they were planning to soon). Someone leaked the footage to the Washington Post (to David Fahrenthold specifically) who immediately put out an article on it.

I don't think they give a shit about it now, Donald has broken the GOP pledge cult. His supporters for instance are a very specific form of right wing and the rest will fall in line with whatever gop candidate thinks more like them, the party is fracturing along specific lines and pledges don't make sense anymore.

Nah.
The amount of soundbites that's going to come out of it
There is a reason why this is huge. Why the media networks are blowing up about this.
Think about it. Trump has said that Mexicans are rapists, that he could shoot someone, that he'll ban Muslims, that' he'll punish women who abort, he has said all that shit and he's continued along his merry way.
But this? This has shook the whole GOP. This has shook people who were against trump. This has shook people who are with Trump. Trump is in such deep shit, whereas he said he wouldn't apologize about the Mexicans, about the Blacks, about the Muslims, and he puts out two press releases(One a video) about him apologizing over this. Over something that's 10 years old.
Trump is shook. This is the event that made people get the light to turn on in their heads, to realize that Trump is a fuck up.
And it's glorious.

This is just like Palin EXCEPT everyone always knew what a piece of shit Trump always was. You could see this coming a mile away.
I really need a gif of Ana right before they cut to commercial after that, where she's just savoring the moment.

Question is, is it about Trump or Hillary?
We should call them and find out.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Slightly off-topic but still related...
What Donald described doing to women I think I've only seen on film once and I think it was a scene from that Mad Men show when the MC literally did that move to a woman (who wasn't his wife) in the process of seducing her. In retrospect, given the psyche of men in that show/era, I'm even less shocked that Donald is a person who professes to doing this sort of thing.
About the only thing shocking about this whole fiasco is the fact that this is the presidential candidate for a major party.

Well, yes, the pledge was always bullshit. But it's definitely bullshit if the GOP candidate doesn't win because who's going to enforce it in favor of a known loser versus an unknown.
They're using what my candidate said against him to make him look bad. It shouldn't count.

Dana Perino talked to O'Reilly about it, and took a shot at Roger Ailes in the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQO17mmevAE

Why is Billy Bush getting a pass in all this? He is enabling Trump the entire time.

I've only seen pundits talking about how Trump supporters feel about this, which is probably the wrong group to be asking about this.

Hillary's numbers are in free fall, Gary Johnson is surging because he's actually shown his tongue technique, while all Trump has done is talk and Hillary won't even discuss her relationship with Huma.
Way to soon for that. But combined with the debate the polls will be very good for Hillary next week.

Who Would Jesus Rape?
1. He's not running for president
2. He made a seemingly heartfelt apology
3. He's not actually, I've seen plenty of condemnations of him
Take your pick

No one cares about the host of Access Hollywood?
I didn't even know that Billy Bush is actually a Bush, like the same family as the two former Presidents.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Probably nothing decent for awhile. We're just now seeing the impact the first debate had. I expect to see a lot of those garbage online polls but they're worthless

None of these comments are surprising, even to ardent Trump supporters. If this had been revealed a few months ago, it would have been less damaging but he still would have won the Primaries.
Being so close to the next debate, and the November election, make this a more volatile period in Trump's presidency. His poll numbers weren't good enough despite the momentum in recent weeks and rather than gaining from the initial debate, he lost further in key demographics - such as women.
The real story will be the fallout within the Republican party as they begin to realise their core base will relent in their support of a sexist, bigoted, demagogue.

Yeah, that seems to be his auto-response to almost any controversy. It's amusing how he issues a sorry-not-sorry statement then tries to shift the blame onto the Clintons.
Personally my trust in Billy Bush, a guy I just learned about two hours ago, has been shattered.

I just watched the video "apology". Bad comedy.

Fivethirtyeight's Now-cast has Arizona trending blue.
If my state went blue this election I don't think I'd stop grinning for a week.
