What's new

Can the Trumpster fire come back from this?

This won't harm Trump at all. His backers know exactly who he is and don't care about any of his gaffs or "shortcomings." If they were making their decision to support this man on policy and competence, Trump would have never even become the Republican candidate. This news surprises no one on either side. I actually think his comments about 2nd amendment people etc. are way worse than this. Trump can literally say and do anything, and it has little effect on his success. Any other candidate in the history of our country would have been buried months ago.

His base wouldn't care, but what about the undecided voters he need to convince to beat Hillary?
 
Is anybody actually surprised about this? Maybe if we're lucky he drops out.

My thoughts exactly. When I learned of the news, I didn't even flinch. The news was more or less a trifle when I heard it, and we continued talking about whatever it was we were talking about. Who was surprised indeed? This is par for the course. I can only hope it gets so much coverage and is spun in such a way that it has some sort of effect.
 
When you're dealing with a cult of personality, nothing is certain. Disdain for Clinton is inexplicably rife at every level, equal to the disdain of Trump. Sam Harris on Trump puts this unbelievable candidate equalization in perspective for me, but we've never been dealing with traditional standards in this election.

Yeah Clinton's actually going to be president

Trump won't but he and his basket of deplorables aren't going anywhere.

I hope to hell that you're right about this. I've seen this from the perspective of an independent, and I had made my mind up on Trump literally more than a year ago. I'm not sure exactly what an undecided voter is waiting for. It seems like undecideds at this point are either not going to vote or are voting third party (Johnson). I just don't understand what more they need to see, and that's why I'm a bit more skeptical that this will do anything to Trump, but man do I hope I'm dead wrong and he is excoriated for this.
 
So can somebody please tell me why this is only coming to light just mere weeks away from the election? I mean it happened in 2005 right?



My take is this is Hillary's trump card (punn intended) she's been saving to play right at the last minute.
 
Well bill had no problem cheating on his wife, very doubtful for the first time, then lying about it in an official deposition. And the left still supported him as president. I guess this means trump just garnered a larger % of the democratic vote. Brilliant play really, even if he is an imbecile.

Probably. What better way to take down your opponent by exposing them as a sexual predator 30ish days before the election. It the words of DT, she's smart.

Funny how conservatives called for Bill's head, but will excuse Trump for openly admitting to being a sexual predator.

You're probably right. Excerpts from Clinton's speeches to Goldman Sachs were released this week. Everybody is talking about the Trump video
