I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

xp yep. this is a simple, visceral story. even fox news will go with this one. it's box office, as bertie wooster used to say.

what makes it harder for him to shake is that he's going to get nailed for it in the debate, which will prolong its press coverage through several news cycles (ie, until his next horrible thing gets spotlighted)

that never happened in the primaries. he said shit and it vanished. now it's not vanishing.

xp

lmao DJP

mmm i don't know about that, i think this recording speaks to everything everyone's been saying about trump over the past several weeks and amplifies it 10x. the mccain comment was awful but also many republicans don't regard him as highly after 2008. the reporter thing was a minor ripple unfortunately.

xxxposts

lol nomar

it is obv just another drop in the trump cesspool but i think a few things matter:

1) that it's on tape, very clear recording,, accompanied by that nice little video of him making the comments and then interacting w/ this woman immediately after the bus, which i think personalizes it in a way that's different than just him on howard stern 15 years ago or something
2) it's october and this is a fresh story that fits an already assembled narrative
3) won't change the trump die-hards but we all knew that nothing would change them, it's all about women + undecideds having more & more reasons not to vote for him

how desperate do you think Roger Stone's phone calls to Julian Assange are getting these days

wonder if speaker ryan will be campaigning with trump tomorrow

'i strongly condemn grabbing women by the pussy, but those taxes won't lower themselves'

Genuinely curious how this will impact Billy Bush. I've hated that smirking fuckbag for years, so if this gets him knocked off the Today Show, great.

agree

lol mookie

loool

Bill Kristol, who has never seen a woman before, said as much when I happened to catch his stench on CNN a little while ago.

What a dumb time this is to be alive

https://twitter.com/NRO/lists/nr-tweets is good rn

now if Dems had 1/10 the gall of the GOP, they would be working day and night to convince the American people that every single Republican politician in America is going around grabbing women by their privates.

this story should make me glad bc it'll hurt his chances further of being president of the united states but for some reason i just feel such rage at the ppl - some of whom i know personally - that will likely still vote for trump bc clearly they have no moral standards whatsoever and what can u feel about such a person really

Was this broken by Fahrenthold? Man, give that guy a bonus. We should send him a fruit basket.

Imagine you’re a doctor, but every night someone comes into your hospital and stabs everyone. That’s how GOP volunteers must feel this year.

xpost they'll use the "changed man" defense.

Trump found God and he swiffered away the rape and replaced it with a miraculous tax plan and if you don't vote for him you hate God

lolol

Clinton's history proves that Democrats would defend Trump if he was their guy.

It doesn't mean we should.

I love the one-sentence second paragraph.

@baseballcrank @KatiePavlich I'm not ok with an even more liberal scotus because you two are offended by what guys say when women are gone

yes, farenthold

hey has anybody checked w/ Arpaio for his take think that's all that's missing here

what can u feel about such a person really

something between pity and murderous rage?

xp

btw i can't be the only person loling that these commentators, all men, think suburban women would be more offended by this tweet than anybody else.

Just catching up. Is this guaranteed to come up Sunday night, or will Clinton balk at how ugly that could get? I think Trump would literally say anything if cornered on this.

she's going to eviscerate him on this, are you kidding

or maybe just grab him by the nuts, who knows

Victims of sexual assault deserve full protection under the law. And now, they will have it.

*Ryan grabs Trump by scruff of neck, holds him under water*

'don't resist.'

you guys. the banner pic on Ryan's page where he's being mobbed by black children.

what the hell

something between pity and murderous rage

they're just big fans of Eddie Munster

xp

she's going to eviscerate him on this, are you kidding

Does she need to, though? The press will take care of that.

ppl who claim this is how men talk i've been involved in plenty of raunchy conversations in my lifetime if a man spoke like this in front of me i would never speak to him again

I think Trump would literally say anything if cornered on this.

oh totally, his defense on this will 100% be "bill said/did worse shit"

there's a readymade response to that (which I posted upthread)

she should just work the word "tic tacs" into a completely unrelated sentence and watch as he reacts in typical fashion. minimal effort needed.

I am mightily resisting the temptation to repost "right wingin' bitter clingin' PROUD clingers" in this new context

ppl who claim this is how men talk i've been involved in plenty of raunchy conversations in my lifetime if a man spoke like this in front of me i would never speak to him again

yeah c'mon, these are people to avoid. I dunno any guys that talk like this.

he's totally going to play the "ad hominem tu quoque" route, liberals are hypocrites cos we let Clinton 'off the hook' and are offended by this now.

Does she need to, though? The press will take care of that.

being a successful politician means always pressing your advantage

there's a readymade response to that (which I posted upthread)

yea hillary has been prepping for trump to mention the whole campaign prob, pretty easy to deflect and there aren't many scenarios in which trump doesn't look like an asshole for bringing it up

She spent the summer deliberately generating as little news as possible to maximize the impact of all this noise, she's going to go personally and directly after him on this and I applaud it

i've only met a couple people that actually talked like this, behind closed doors or not, and both of them were during high school, and both of them threatened physical violence against me at some point

(xposts)That's what I'm thinking--during a presidential debate, he'll start quoting verbatim the stuff he claims Bill has said to him on the golf course. Things would get extremely ugly. I'm not sure that Clinton needs to go down that road; Trump is in for a week of pure hell regardless.

Probably a moot point he's so far behind now.
