I mean, it is ugly and despicable, but it's probably about the 10th most despicable thing he's said. And it's the only one that happened exclusively NOT while running for president.
He's said a lot of bad things. But this was him basically stating that he has no problem raping a woman. Kissing them before they could even say no. Talking about because of his power he can do these things.Birds in Hell wrote:I'm a bit perplexed by this too.McParadigm wrote:So out of everything, THIS is the thing that might sink him?

As I wrote above, I doubt this will create a dent in his support, which has consistently been between 40%-43% of voters. But there's going to be a palpable effect if the news cycle constantly introduces new reasons to stay away from him; as people begin to drift away from minor-party candidates and undecideds either decide to vote or stay home, Clinton's share only needs to rise 2%-3% for this to be considered an almost blow-out.McParadigm wrote:So out of everything, THIS is the thing that might sink him?

All he has to say is, "Hey, at least I've never been accused of raping a woman," and I'd reckon he's more or less back where he started.
I've been telling my wife since June that the trove of stuff they must have on Trump is yuge. I'm sure there's a lot more to come in the next few weeks.Simple Torture wrote:And I have no doubt someone close to the Clinton campaign had been sitting on this and sent it to the Post last night. It's no coincidence that this came out the day after Trump said it was his "Apprentice" character who said mean things about women, that he, Donald J. Trump, has "more respect than anyone" for women.
