Relatability. Some people do not have a 'theory of mind'--that is, they cannot reason in abstract terms about people who are different from them being conscious and hurting from comments like the above. You can guess who they are.

Few elected Republicans have wives and daughters that are Mexican.

I'm a straight white male, and was once young (though I guess I'm still pretty young 31), and I've never once in my life heard anyone say anything even in that stratosphere.
Somebody said it best, not everyone knows or likes a brown person.
But everyone has had a woman in their life
Lots of white people arent moved by the plight of minorities.

Are you a prison guard or something?

This wasn't locker room banter as some are trying to portray.
Cheating on his wife is bad, but between them.
Using his status to sexually assault women as he does not believe there will be any repercussions are 1000x worse.
His stance on women are well know, but this is above that.
I'm not clear how anyone could vote for this piece of shit and then try to look at your mother/wife/girlfriend/daughter in the face again.
The Republican party made their choice and now are reaping the consequences

Because his comments are also an offense to white women and Christians. Up until now he's mainly said stuff that pisses off minorities, so there were a lot more people comfortable with glossing it over.

Are you saying it makes him overqualified?
Woo, now we get to the racism! Those damn straight white men, always laughing about their desire to rape women.
This thread has just been the juiciest burger I've tasted in a long long time.
He never said all Mexicans are rapists. He said:
When Mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre not sending you. Theyre not sending you. Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
It did not blow up because it's defensible in a way that these recently revealed comments are not.
Democrats haven't won the "married women" demographic since, ironically, Bill Clinton. This will seriously hurt Trump with them.

Bachmann time again on CNN
Was it true she was not invited back?
She still crazy
my bad, definitely not talking about having done or planning to do awful stuff, but ive heard plenty of horrible "jokes" made in that edgy SWM way. maybe not exactly like how Trump talks about actually committing heinous acts, but when phrased as a "joke", yeah ive heard that alot.
Yup. She was gone right after that.
Give me a break. Insert any other race into that comment other than "white" and re-read it. Very similar to Trump's absurd "Mexican's are rapists" generalization.

They have the choice to resign and not have to defend his shit to millions of people. They choose instead to stay on and go on national TV to do so. No sympathy.
This is art
He's bragging how he's force kissing the women and they can't say anything because he's a star. And how he's grabbing their pussies. And in the same video he talking about eating some Tic Tacs and going for the woman that just entered the scene. Just watch at 1:14. He's explaining how he will do something he did before.
This is no joke talking. This is him exposing the way he acts and acting accordingly.
And remember, a good deal of white people hate minorities - in fact it's the (usually unspoken) core of the Republican platform.
How the fuck is Scottie Hughes able to say this shit on TV with any conscious

I see Michele Bachmann has resumed being terrible on CNN. When asked how she would explain recent Trump events to her daughter she just immediately beings criticizing Hillary. She literally deflected every question about it.
i grew up in a suburb that was like 99% white and there was only like 1 gay person in my grade. most of the people i hung around were guys. the people who i have heard talking like this were straight and white and male. i am also a straight white male. fucking relax

One is him basically alleging that Mexico is using illegal immigration as a means to rid itself of its criminals, and the other is him talking about how he can (did) commit sexual assault because he's rich and famous. It's a lot easier to compartmentalize and diminish the former.
More than one person in your grade was gay. I guarantee it.

"No women were affected by these words."
It's not just words when people have confirmed he's acted on them.

While his extreme example of what women would let him do because of his fame/money is clearly hyperbolic and meant to astonish young Billy Bush, it's still inexcusable the way he "over-objectifies" women. Guys can say some pretty crude shit, but combining this crassness with his "power-groping" brag.. I really can't see myself pulling the lever for him regardless of Georgia's shade of red/purple come November.
Johnson/Oh-Weld 2016.

I'm surprised that no one is going after Billy Bush for egging on Trump. This man is a member of the Bush family (George H.W. Bush is his uncle and George W Bush is his cousin) and any chance of him running for office should be ended.
What Trump said cannot and should not be spinned to 'yeah but the Clintons,' or 'yeah but Benghazi soldiers' or 'yeah but emails.'
This won't be a debate Sunday. It'll be a massacre. It completely derails any and all arguments Trump has for him to be elected as president. He doesn't deserve to be president. He doesn't even deserve to be famous anymore.
After 2016 elections, Melania Trump will divorce Donald Trump. We'll probably get more 'insider's view' of Trump's campaign from tell-alls, etc.

Or maybe you just didn't pay attention to what has been said about him.
Bush isn't running for president, and his apology was better than Trump's.

So that's the last name of Johnson's running mate.
Dude is going to lose his job on the Today show (70% female audience?), wont get another job for a while (except on the forthcoming Trump TV channel) and Jeb wants to disown him for not telling him about this 10 months ago. He's in a bad place right now
