Donald Trump caught on hot mic bragging about sexually assaulting women

[PeteB]

Just watched it and, while it will move like hotcakes on the networks, I don't think it will hurt him with his supporters. To be honest, it will probably help him, as he comes across and behaves, like a regular Joe. Other than lewd language, he doesn't do anything inappropriate, and Bush is certainly playing along, if not outright goading him.

Where it will hurt him is with independent women voters.

And, I  think he has said and done far worse in this campaign.

But frankly, he is done anyway. Short of a story breaking that Clinton was having a lesbian affair with Putin's girlfriend, while sending classified info on an open server to the Iranians, nothing can save Donald.

If you are a person who loves to talk about both pornography and politics, you've got to hand it to Trump - he saves you from having to visit two forums.

Political fallout of this already being felt:

Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte says Donald Trump’s lewd comments about women are “totally inappropriate and offensive.”

What will Ryan and Pence do?

I guess any chance of a civil second debate, focusing on the issues has gone out of the window.

This will now become a battle of unwanted anatomic lessons:

"...you are a groper and a pig, saying you want to grab women by the p...y..."

against

"..at least I didn't use cigars in the p...y like your husband..."

And this is a choice of the best and the brightest?!?

Hillary will bring up his remarks, but will not call him a pig. She'll calmly and coolly go through what he said.

But I suspect that he will. So gutter, here we come.

Not a good day for Ryan to sign sexual assault bill:

I guess then that Trump isn't going to bring up Bill Clinton in the debate Sunday.

On the contrary. I am now almost certain that he will. This issue will not go away and his best (Trumpian) move is to try and taint Clinton with the same gutter image.
