Were you? So if Harth clammed up over the "sexual assault", for her portion of the $100k, during a lawsuit over business dealings with Trump decades ago.....I have to ask.....does that make her a whore?

I asked the very same question pages ago.......who are all these women that Trump "raped" or "sexually assaulted" in relation to this recent story? The term "sexual assault" appears to have quite a wide birth........maybe that is why nobody has come forward.....they don't yet know they were raped by Trump.

Didn't he already address the American people.....in which he apologized? I suspect many, regardless of what he says or does.........I do find it interesting though that such stories are coming out of the woodwork now, verses say a year ago. Of course the majority of Republicans that have come out against Trump over his recent remarks are the same ones that have been speaking out against him for months........the Trump wagon has only ever had seating for ~40-50% of the GOP.

I see it as one in the same.............Trump's actions (and inactions) towards women have been a given for decades...... I see it as the opposite, this is common, normal, behavior among most men........though I agree with Pence on many issues, I'm not observant of his puritan religious values.....the key difference that I would observe between many like minded (real) males is most observe that there is a time and a place.... this alone is what separates a chauvinist from a gentleman........

Legally speaking, who are all these women that Trump "raped"? If a Bullshitter bullshits in the woods, without a hot mic, does anybody hear it?

Another word for "bragged" is bullshitting.........now this might be a surprise to many, but many men (Not your metro-sexual mangina types) say all sorts of untruths about women among other like minded men in semi-private settings.........doesn't mean such men are Wilt Chamberlain, nor a rapist. And I thought the exact same things when Trump made numerous faux-pas during the primaries, including going after George W Bush, Mitt Romney and John McCain.....yet here we are.........on paper I'd tend to agree with you, yet I wouldn't feel comfortable betting against Trump either... Not at all.......for either Trump or Clinton.

Inversely, aren't some women attracted to rich/powerful males? Wouldn't it stand to reason that a women spurned by such a man would later say all sorts of terrible things about him?

.......Or JFK....FDR......LBJ etc etc. It doesn't justify their actions, its simply the nature of the beast.....

Sure, and of that, how many cases involve a billionaire that's running for President? I still find it hard to fathom that the rich guy thats been screwing supermodels since the 70s rapes anyone.

Sure, and in how many cases does the one allegedly assaulted, that had failed business dealings with the alleged rapist, file a civil action vice criminal charges........in my opinion, the optics look like a money grab.

No more or less so then if I said you punched me in the head a decade ago......and its only now an issue because you're running for president.

Why would I, personally, be associated with it? I'm not a Trump supporter, nor a Trump fan....I spent over a year pointing out what a disgusting buffoon he is.......with that, my point still stands.........are these actually sexual assaults......when nobody, as far as I know, have filed criminal charges against him?

Is it "sexual assault" if the "assaulted" didn't go to the police, let alone complain about it when it happened......or is this a "sexual assault" like those that occur on public transit when a male has his legs spread open (if he self identifies as a male) reading a swimsuit mag?

I agree, the status update feature seems a little confusing, but I feel its outweighed by everything else....I like the quoting feature via highlighting the text to be quoted, Another forum I go to has that and I find it really handy, namely when responding to specific snippets of a post.All in all, I give the upgrade two thumbs up and commend the team on how fast they brought it in...hardly noticed any downtime.

The question is will he be able to do so effectively......

They could, I don't doubt they have various scenarios mapped out, with that said, there is still a month and two debates remaining......If Wikileaks has further damning info on Clinton, and keeps releasing it every week as planned, plenty could happen between now and election day.

I don't watch either so I can't speak to that, but the British press is covering it and the news that Wikileaks will be releasing additional emails, each week, through the election.....including evidence of collusion between the Clintons and Google.

Trump's own words have the consistency of Jello........I'd wait until after the debate.

I know that,and thats not my point.........Sanders supporters considered Trump as part of the elite "1%"....these leaks but confirm, by her own admission, that Clinton is too......I don't expect them to flock to Trump, but the third parties, that help Trump.

I don't know that its rationalizing it, but being realistic........Trump has been accused of, and speculated on tape in doing, the same stuff Bill Clinton admitted to under oath. No, I think the Wiki dump will confirm Sanders supporters opinion of Clinton and motivate them to vote for a third party. Exactly, the ones in which Trump is able to beat Clinton..... I look at it this way, knowing he will be creamed might be enough motivation to bow out beforehand.... I don't expect him to remain disciplined, the exact opposite in fact..... I expect you're right, hence my suggestion of Trump going "nuclear" with every far right (radio) Clinton talking point and conspiracy.......confronting Clinton with these numerous charges that no other politician, or those in the media, would..........it would end Trump in politics, but might allow Trump to justify his efforts as bringing the Clinton brand down into the sewer (with him). On paper, one would think so........but at this point, he has yet to loose anything......if he got out of the race now, or after getting waxed in the debate, and the GOP was able to cobble together a Pence/Ryan ticket, team Clinton would be disarmed of their largest point of attack against the GOP......Trump. Will it happen? I'd doubt it, but then if we've learnt anything with Trump is to expect the unexpected.

Where did I defend him? Saying he hasn't been convicted of a crime is factual......

I had a wonderfully written response, full of links and all sorts of shit.........then my laptop froze.....Reader Digest: -Trump has been accused of far worse in the 80s and early 90s during his first divorce....as I said, one would have to be either too young or living under a rock to not know this -As I said, Trump has been able to embrace his record with the "system and Wall Street"....Clinton continues to run away from her record and ties, post Sanders......in the recent Wiki dump, Clinton said only those on Wall Street could fix the system......ergo, if Trump is apart of Wall Street, he is the only one that can "fix it" -The best possible outcome now, absent Hillary being further torpedoed by Wikileaks (or bumped off by a nut), is for Trump to go full nuclear on Clinton in the Sunday debate, slinging every ounce of crap he can at her, getting her to further lie in her defense and go down to his level, keeping her off message (well forcing a conversation over the various allegations afterwards)....... then Monday morning "resign" from the race citing family reasons......with Mike Pence moving to the top of the ticket and Paul Ryan filling in on the bottom.....and Trump leaving politics, never having lost a race and setting uuuuuge records in turnout.....then getting another reality show. Trumps kids have to know that its getting to the point that post election, assuming he gets waxed, they could do very serious damage (more then has already been done) to the Trump brand.....

There is nothing odd about it.......Trump doesn't hide his elitism......he brags about it, even had a tv show.

No.....why?
