Trumped 202

[Gobroncosgo]

Anyone who thinks Trump is unaffected by this is deluding themselves.

For Trump to win, he needs to make gains in the undecided, and overcome the gap in key demographics, such as female voters and young voters who may simply not vote. This kind of PR destroys any chance to make those gains. Maybe you think his comments about the reporter with a stutter was a one-off. Then, maybe you think his comments about Miss Universe were because he lost a lot of $ with her weight gain (but then again, losing $ is smart for him tax-wise, or so he tells us, but I digress). But at some point, you get enough stories like this - and the average Joe figures out - this isn't a one-off, it's a PATTERN. If people were somehow still unsure before, this goes a loooong way to drive that point home. And frankly, Hilary Clinton will have 90 minutes of air time (well,not all 90 mins) to just ram that point home over & over.

Worse yet for Trump, this story again shifts the focus to him and his weaknesses, and prevents him from trying to mount an attack on Clinton. There's absolutely no coincidence this is coming up just days before the 2nd debate. From the story on CNN, sounds like Access Hollywood was going to air the story just after the 2nd debate, but someone leaked the transcript of the interview to a Washington Post reporter, which forced the early publication. Sounds like a Hilary supporter decided to leak the story. And for good reason - it's a PR killer.

The GOP themselves have told Trump to stay at home this weekend - when has that ever happened to a presidential candidate with less than 4 weeks to go in an election? Not that I recall in my adult life (last 7 elections I can remember).

The Democrats had the ammo ready for the Miss Universe story during the 1st debate, this one comes as an absolute gift to them. Unless Trump can find a way to spin all the negative PR to Hilary after Monday's debate, Trump's campaign is on life support, and the power company is about to shut the power off.

He's just like Humpty Dumpty. He keeps falling off that brick wall and they keep having to put him back together. But one of these days, they'll get fed up and leave him on the ground in pieces.

The Donald has apologized via video. It's obvious he's reading someone else's words. It's also obvious he doesn't believe his own apology and is simply using it to attack (again!!) his opponent and went as far as comparing his despicable actions to President Clinton. The big difference is that Bill Clinton never had to attack women in order to get them to sleep with him.

Mike Pence has since said that he was very offended by Trump's words and actions. Actions??

Trump also told Monica Langley of the WSJ this morning that there's zero chance he's quitting after being told many Republicans have pulled back their support for him and his own people are getting exasperated. The reporter also told the media that Trump was far from being apologetic and was actually on the offense during the interview.

Will this recent scandal affect his current numbers? I doubt it. His 'base' will vote for him no matter what. They are brainwashed by this charlatan. If Hannibal Lecter ran for the GOP, he'd probably have similar numbers since that 'base' is very easily fooled.

No matter who the candidate is, 40 percent of Americans will vote Republican. Just like how 40 percent will vote Democrat. It's the 20 percent in between that's at stake. With all the GOP backers veering away from Trump now, not hard to see how this will go.

When the GOP's own VP candidate can't back up the presidential candidate, it's time to cue taps on their campaign.

If there's a mind-blowing new scandal piece that can veer the attention to Clinton and away from Trump, now's the time for it to air. Otherwise, Monday's debate is going to be Trump's presidential campaign obituary.

That 40-40-20 rule applies for many scenarios.
In Quebec for example 40% will always vote for separation and 40% for federation. Its the middle 20% that shifts depending on the political and economic climate.

I agree. By the way, the debate is tomorrow night, not Monday.

More & more GOP lawmakers are now asking Donald Trump to drop out of the race and want him to make room for Mike Pence to run as the party's presidential nominee. But Trump said there's zero chance he'll quit and i don't doubt that. If he quits, he'll be looked upon as a quitter and to the Clintons, on top of that. Although he was good buddies with the Clintons until this election. But i believe their friendship is toast and it was pretty evident post-debate when he and Bill Clinton didn't greet one another. But let's face it: many of Trump's so-called friends have dropped him like a sack of potatoes and as Mark Cuban recently said, the 'Trump' brand is in a freefall and people are and will continue to stay away from his golf clubs and hotels. Cuban predicted that Trump would file for bankruptcy (again!!) within 7 years since no one wants anything to do with him and the 'Trump' brand. It's already been years since anyone in the States wanted to lend him money and since he now has a reputation of not paying his contractors for work performed, many are staying away from doing business with this well-known con man.

Running for President wasn't a very good idea for Donald Trump and his family. It's also only a matter of time before Melania Knauss files for divorce from this creep.

Very true. And it also depends on which side will go vote and which side wasn't. Democrats usually go full out when it's the presidential elections, but stay away for the midterms, which is why they lost the Senate a couple of years ago. My guess is that congress will remain as is until at least 2020 due to gerrymandering.

 

[Doc Holliday]

What's ironic and very funny is that Trump and his surrogates are now saying that what happened 10 years ago isn't important. However, Trump and those same idiots are the ones who've brought up Bill Clinton's name over and over, trying to convince their band of idiots & potential voters that what happened nearly 30 years ago in regards to the Clintons has any relevance. Unreal! :lol::lol::lol:

 

[Sleemans]

His dis on women might even get him a few more votes. Clinton ( with the penis ) stuck a cigar up a crotch and it made him more popular.

Nah, i doubt it. He's a repulsive person and there's nothing likeable about him. He's a douchebag and con artist. He allegedly brutally raped his first wife. He scammed his way to the top and refused to pay off contractors who did work for him. He stole from his own foundation. He sent jobs to China and Mexico. He didn't pay any income tax in nearly 20 years. He's the first presidential candidate in 44 years not to release his taxes. And now, he's just been caught on tape saying that it's okay to sexually assault a woman if you're a celebrity. Think about it: HE SAID IT'S OKAY TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT A WOMAN IF YOU'RE A CELEBRITY!!!!

 

[Doc Holliday]

Today would be a great time for Donald Trump to release his taxes.

Excellent post JSB!

Same thing will happen if the wicked witch from the west gets elected that has happened with obama, all the supporters will disappear afer a few years just like they did years ago on here for obama. Killery is the same things as obama only worse if that is even possible. At least Trump loves his country and will do anything to make it better, killery on the other hand will just line her pockets like you said and likely drive businesses out of the states meaning much worse economic conditions than there already is which leads to more violence. She may even get the U.S. into a war with Russia or a dozen other countries. She is seen as a weak political leader to these countries and they are begging for her to get elected. Disgusting indeed.

donald trump is not a politician.he says what he thinks.if every personal conversation me you or anyone ever had went public im sure we would all be embarrased at times
makes me wonder the motive for people who put this to light.
that beign said what about ms clinton and the smashed laptops,to me she is a disgusting crooked human being,neither one of them are someone who should even be running its the lesser of 2 evils which the americans have to vote for
clinton will line her pockets with money and sell everyone out and i have no idea what trump would do.the whole political thing in the states is so corrupt and disgusting,clinton represents big money people who dont care if the worlds population starves as long as they make money
they will make wars to stabalize regions for monatary reasons not caring how many lifes suffer or die=pure evil.

 

[lgna69xxx]

Lol....ahh slick Willy, what a joke he has become. So funny to see him sabotage his own wife the other day by dissing obamacare to the world ound:

I think billy boy is not in good shape, mentally speaking or otherwise and if he didn't have his stunt double bob barker to fill in for him some days he would be falling asleep on the campagin trail more than he already does.

His dis on women might even get him a few more votes. Clinton ( with the penis ) stuck a cigar up a crotch and it made him more popular.

He did not say assault, at least I don't think so. He said:
"he could grab them by the pussy" and "You can do anything"

Which are close but different.

Like I wrote earlier this is not very different from all other celebrity or top gun very rich business guy who do exactly the same. I will go further, after 20 years in the healthcare industry, I have seen very often the total opposite, woman deliberately flirting, doing closet blow job and going to bed with the top boss to get a new position, a salary raise, or what the fuck they wanted. Put that on tape and bring it all back 10 years later and you would have quite a lot of divorce and people losing their job! It's not that different from these rich guys abusing woman.

Cheers,

True, every person in the world would be embarrassed if everything we ever said was out there. So what. The difference is Trump speaks like an ass openly, stupidly, and without regret or conscience. It's great to be honest, but is it great when someone thinks he can says absolutely anything any time he wants. Suppose you were meeting him with your family and Trump says, hey, your know your wife is a fat cow and your two sons look too stupid to do anything but have a career picking up garbage? Just honest or a total horse's ass?

So what about the motive of those who released the video. If what Trump said was totally out of character people could say well, it's cheap men's locker room garbage spoken between guys being guys. But it's consistent with nearly every other comment he intentionally puts out in tweets or unashamedly says in public knowing the media is right there covering him. That's not honesty. It's being a total, no class, insensible piece of shit.

And when it comes to screwing people what do you think happened to all those investors, partners, and employees when Trump ran for cover under bankruptcy and left everyone out to take the beating for his failings.

Trump is not a politician. He's a totally classless, power at any price, a-moral egomaniac with no decency, obsessed with enriching himself and deluded with the idea of his divinity. He'd make a very fine Caligula or Nero.

True, although 70% of everything he says has been proven to be bullshit. And sure, what we say or do would embarrass us if it went public. But we're not running for President or Prime Minister.

He's also a megalomaniac, narcissist, liar, bullshitter, selfish, con artist, fraud, alleged rapist, bigot, racist, sociopath, misogynist, delusional, bad businessman, doesn't pay taxes, etc.

He's a very bad person. He's a spoiled lying piece-of-shit.

Republican women are done with Trump

Tape of the GOP nominee boasting about sexual assault has officials deserting him in droves.

Republican women are abandoning Donald Trump in an historic repudiation of their party’s nominee, a devastating development for the GOP candidate's chances one month before Election Day.

Trump’s lewd, sexually aggressive comments about women, revealed in a 2005 audio recording that became public Friday, have prompted large-scale defections, from female Republican senators to conservative activists in the swing states. That dynamic further jeopardizes his chances with women voters, including white, married voters who typically back Republicans. After nearly two years of listening to Trump denigrate women — including Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, Heidi Cruz and former Miss Universe Alicia Machado — Republican women have had enough.

A mass desertion by white, married women would effectively torpedo Trump’s chances of defeating Hillary Clinton. That demographic has been a core part of every Republican nominee’s constituency this century — Mitt Romney and John McCain won 53 percent of married women, and still lost the election — meaning that Trump, who struggles far more with party unity than previous nominees have, has even less room for error. But he is already losing badly with women overall, and Friday’s bombshell threatens to set him back further with women of all marital statuses.

High-profile Republican women over the weekend made clear that they have zero interest in helping Trump regain his footing, instead offering cover to other lawmakers looking to abandon Trump.

“I wanted to be able to support my party’s nominee, chosen by the people, because I feel strongly that we need a change in direction for our country,” said New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who is in a competitive re-election fight in a key swing state. “However, I’m a mom and an American first, and I cannot and will not support a candidate for president who brags about degrading and assaulting women.”

Ayotte will be writing in Trump running mate Mike Pence, she said. New Hampshire GOP Chair Jennifer Horn backed her up, saying in a statement, “there will be no repercussions from the party directed at those who choose not to support Donald Trump.”

One particularly notable defection: Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), who is perhaps Trump's most prominent female defender in the Senate.

"The comments made by Mr. Trump were disgusting and totally unacceptable under any circumstance," she tweeted. "It would be wise for him to step aside and allow Mike Pence to serve as our party's nominee."

Fiorina, once a target of Trump’s trash talk — “look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?” he mocked during the primary — released a statement Saturday asking the Republican National Committee to replace Trump with Pence.

"Donald Trump does not represent me or my party,” she said. “I understand the responsibility of Republicans to support their nominee. Our nominee has weighty responsibilities as well. Donald Trump has manifestly failed in these responsibilities."

In perhaps the most explosive moment to date in a campaign that has already been littered with shocking developments, an audio recording of a hot mic moment from 2005, first reported by the Washington Post, captures Trump bragging about groping women, without their consent.

“I don’t even wait,” he said. “And when you’re a star they let you do it…Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

In a sign of how toxic Republicans expect this remark to be in swing states, Rep. Barbara Comstock, who faces a competitive race in her moderate northern Virginia district, was among the first lawmakers to urge Trump to exit the race. But it’s not just Republican women from moderate states: Rep. Martha Roby, from deep-red Alabama, also called on Trump to get out of the race in a statement Saturday morning.

“Donald Trump's behavior makes him unacceptable as a candidate for president, and I won't vote for him,” she tweeted.

And West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, whose state is a Trump stronghold, said, “the appropriate next step may be for him to reexamine his candidacy.” Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) was one of several members of the Utah delegation to call on Trump to exit the race. Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) did the same.

Such high-profile Republican rebukes come as early and absentee voting has already gotten underway in some key states, making it all the more difficult for Trump to regain his footing.

“Yesterday made me even more sick,” said Heidi Wixom, a Republican activist in Nevada. “It was kind of like, ‘Oh great, we’ve got Bill Clinton all over again,’ except Bill Clinton had class, intelligence about working with policy, so we could overlook a lot of things. But with Trump, how do you overlook this when he’s already a buffoon to start with? He doesn’t have any redeeming qualities for me, he doesn’t.”

But for all of her concerns about Trump, before Friday’s development, she had been slowly starting to consider whether she could hold her nose and vote for him. No more.

Doc says: "This is embarassing for not only the Republican party, but for the entire country. The world is laughing at the United States as we speak. The clown named Donald Trump has made the United States the laughing stock of the entire world!"

But he was in a studio green room with a microphone clipped to him. Most people would be very careful what they said in that situation. He had media experience, he knows there is no such thing as an "off " microphone.
