who care

So you don't care a man is bragging about feeling up women who didn't want to be felt up.  Republicans thoughts on sexual assault.  It always gets worse.

I kinda already assume a large number of celebrities act like sex-crazed pigs without moral scruples. Dragging this up now just reeks of by-the-numbers media "gotcha" games.

I have six brothers, and three sons.  This isn't boys will be boys stuff.  This is him celebrating his ability to sexually assault someone.

Well, at least this got the Central Park 5 thing off the headlines.

Wow, you are a deplorable.  "It could be worse".  sh**t man, have you or your party any shame?

How much coverage is this getting? My usual test is to google Trump (didn't come up)

but it's getting big movement on twitter

It's on all the cable networks--CNN, MSNBC, even Fox.  

I switched to CNN and then Fox to see how this story was playing, and did see CNN discussing this in detail.

I switched to Fox and saw some really long infomercials targeting old voters (Buy one of our super pillows and get another one free, ads for diabetic medication, etc...) and then coverage of Matthew, and then a dramatic "breaking news" about Clinton email scandals looking like a tabloid trash photo of Clinton with dark sunglasses and "confirmation" from Senior Obama sources that there was a secret collusion between the Obama Administration and the Clinton folks to "cover up" email scandals.

What a joke of a "News Network".

come on man, this is low.

this is about the presidential elections, it's a higher moral standard. Let's not pretend like people are deciding who'll be fired on The Apprentice

Yup, CNN panel essentially saying it is over for Trump. Dem Sen and House candidates need to move quick to lock in their opponents and pin Trump on every down ballot race.

But Jeffrey Lord, Scottie Nell Hughes and Kayleigh McEnany still to come LOL

I'm not a Republican. If this were something he said right now, I'd agree it would be potentially campaign-ending. But the way it is, it just seems like another desperate attack from the left.

Yes. A video of Trump saying horrible things about women in his own words is an attack from the left.

No, dragging it up a month from the election is the attack.

Most Republicans do not condone sexual assault, let alone "locker room jokes and banter" of such a nature.

Just a few days ago VP Biden did a non-political gig and crashed "incognito" a frat party or something of that nature at a university in VA (?) to do a PSA regarding sexual assaults.

I totally agree that this is something that will not play well at all in "real America" regardless of political, partisan, age, economic, ethnicity, gender, and religious affiliation.

Sorry for raining on your smug circlejerk.

Do we know when in '05 this was? Because not only was he married to Melania, it's very possible Melania was pregnant with Barron.

This isn't being 'dragged up' from anywhere - as far as I'm aware this is something the public has never heard before

It should have been dragged up and dropped like a bomb before the Iowa or New Hampshire in the primary months ago.

Dude your so sad right now.  You are a coward for defending this.  I am glad you have shown us how horrible of a person you are.

If you think this isn't damaging then you're not very politically astute.

You forgot Lewandowski, Trump Surrogate CNN presenter

[Wells]

I think the real news here is that a 60 year old man thought money bought him the right to grope vaginas and likely still thinks that way.

[Suburbia]

Yes, he's low-class, but he is a playboy. Men don't usually do this, but he's a player it seems. You expect him to be a weakling? If this is true, he should be reprimanded by the RNC.

I don't recall saying it wasn't damaging.

[Vosem]

He's a ladies man. What do you expect ladies men to be, weak sissies? Trump is not a sissy. He may be done, but I'm sure Hillary has said lewd and seductive things to men before she married Bill Clinton.

Are you really suggesting that probably the most cowardly man in public scrutiny today isn't a sissy?

Anyway, as much as I hate to admit it, realistic idealist is probably correct that this is a story that was intentionally buried until close to the election by left-wing media in this country and that a large number of people will brush it off as such. That's not to say it won't also do actual damage to Trump, of course.

He is raw. This is what players do. He is raw. But I don't know if every voter will care.
