Donald Trump caught on hot mic bragging about sexually assaulting women

[NOVA Green]

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.

It does play into the narrative of a "rich Billionaire" that thinks he is so powerful that he can act with complete impunity, even insinuating that he is so rich and powerful that he can force women to do his biding, even to the point where "joking" about sexual assault is somehow cool and normal.

For the record: I am not a huge Clinton fan, but my Republican family, friends, and coworkers that considered voting for Obama in '08/'12 that come from traditional Moderate Republican backgrounds for a mix of the three pillars of "Reagan Republicanism", social, foreign policy, and economics will not be amused in any way shape or form. This includes lifelong Republican women....

Does anybody else think that Donald Trump hasn't has sex more than five times in his life?

A lot of this sounds like the shit that a 16 year-old virgin would say/think how sex works.

As a women, i find it deeply disgusting, upsetting and rude the way he bragged about it, but to be honest, arent most men with power or influence like that? Jimmy carter, Bill Clinton, Sarkozy, Francois Hollande, etc.

Its a shame that it became a norm for Men with power to use and abuse women,

I genuinely feel sorry for Melania, she seem like a nice person and she have rightly distanced herself from this campaign.  

As for the election, women will continue to loathe him,

When did Jimmy Carter ever say anything close to this?

Not trying to be argumentative, but don't recall ever hearing anything like this from the Southern Baptist....

Guys I think we haven't yet realized who the real victim is here today.

It turns out, after Jeb wasted $100 million dollars trying to take down Trump... it turns out his own cousin knew how to end Trump's campaign all along!

poor Jeb never got any respect

[Alcon]

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.

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

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

"Desperate attack from the left"?  What campaign in the world wouldn't release oppo like this, regardless of how "desperate" they were?  You think a campaigning winning by 10 would shrug and recycle this tape?  Come on.

I believe all the women who have claimed he's assaulted/raped them, including Ivana, so yeah. I believe he's had sex more than 5 times.

He gave an interview to Playboy which became a huge political issue at the time

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

"I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times." Jimmy carter

so much for being a man of faith

You must be living on another planet if you think that's comparable to Trump's comments

Being a man of faith =/= never sinning.

Anyone defending this cretin at this point is clearly messed up in the head.

He should drop out.

This is unacceptable. Jesus f**king Christ. And this is coming from someone who enjoys the pleasures of the flesh a lot.

Not everyone supports Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein. Clinton has some baggage.

Coveting a person is not abuse.

Also, if this really is something the media's been sitting on, Friday evening EST is a weird ass time to drop it.

Did Trump cheat on all of his wife's and commit real adultery? Not the within his mind but real full on adultery.

And on a day when hurricanes are stealing the headlines. Yeah right.

Has Kellyanne said anything?

On the weekend of a debate, Friday evening is the perfect time to drop it. That basically ensures there is minimal time for response/damage control between now and Sunday night. If it'd been dropped on Tuesday afternoon or whatever, then there'd have been several days where the public would be hearing about it at full blast and therefore be more desensitized to it.

Additionally, dropping it now ensures that it stays at the forefront of the news this weekend; since most political news is strategically dropped during the week, there won't be much competing for attention this weekend.

I think that's the October Surprise... It took Billy Bush to completely end the campaign.

Fair, I suppose. Though a Sunday night debate is also a sh**t idea, and I'm surprised Trump agreed to one, TBH. I suppose it will definitely get propelled through thenext week's news cycle.

Ana Navarro: "this man is a taint."

Yes that's not what she meant but I lolled.

[Lief 🗽]
