The General Election

Trump can't step aside now, he's been vetted by the Primary process and belongs in the general election. If the Republicans believe they can supplant the nominated candidate because it looks like he'll lose, they had better stop complaining that Hillary rigged the Dem primary to beat Bernie.

 
Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt:


Oppo: Opposition research. He's saying there's more info out there on Trump, and it's worse than yesterday's tape.


 
It's incredible when people bring up Clinton killing people when they're referring to Benghazi or ISIS, as if that's a knock against her because Trump hasn't killed anyone. That's because he hasn't been involved in government at her level (let alone any level).

There isn't a secretary of state in history who hasn't been AS or MORE responsible than Hillary for people's deaths. It's part of the job. Most of those people would probably never say sh*t about Powell but we invaded Iraq based on WMD while he was SOS.

Lots of people who condone this use the fact that some women condone it as evidence that it's okay. It just means those women are idiots for thinking it's okay for men to act like this.

Good lord it's getting worse. This is a WSJ interview AFTER all of this dropped. This is his reaction:

How is the support he's getting unbelievable? It's been clear to me for months and months that he's a sexist pig. Of course he still has most of the support he had before. If they were okay with him before when his sexism was obvious, this doesn't change anything.

 
Is there a chance that more allegations come out and that he is in fact arrested like he should be? I really think there's something more behind this and I will not be surprised if he ends up serving prison time.

The support is totally believable. I know the Trump base isn't going anywhere.

What's unbelievable is that somehow he actually thinks that's an appropriate response to the situation. His campaign manager has to be chugging boxed wine at this point.

"People get it. [sexual assault] People get life."

I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I woke up to posts from people on my Facebook saying all men behave this way.

How can anyone who actually knows men in their 60s (or any adult man over 20) think that they ALL talk that way? I've known and loved and respected so many men (THIS DOESN'T BELONG IN THE SHED) and now I'm told ALL MEN DO THIS. Okay, my whole life was a lie! My favorite teacher in high school was a man around 60.

Anyone who does this is attacking the best men in their lives.

One thing is for sure, whether Trump steps aside, is somehow forcibly replaced or stays in the race, we've never seen anything like it in American politics. That isn't a good thing. Anybody that goes to polls and votes for this guy should be ashamed, very ashamed. Unfortunately I couldn't think of a worse word than ashamed. At least Hillary voters, who should also be ashamed (see why there needs to be a worse word used above...) to vote for her can say hey, she isn't as bad as Trump. I still can't fathom that this is where we are.

While I agree with you 100% if this sounds exactly like what every neighbor says when there's a serial killer in their neighborhood. "I never would've guessed it" he was the nicest guy" came from a great family"
