I think you are really underestimating how uncomfortable sexual comments like that can make someone. Sexuality/attractiveness are so close to someone's identity. Making an issue of that in a workplace can completely ruin someone's comfort at work. When you consider the enormous leaps we have made regarding respect for women over the past 50 years, I think it is important to recognize what seemed normal and acceptable at that time, then compare that to current day. People made similar arguments for what I am sure you would consider sexual harassment 50 years ago. We can do better and we should want to do better. I don't see the incentive to just accept making women uncomfortable at work.

It's unusually distasteful given it's a show in which he's meant to be mentoring young women who wish to be taken seriously as professionals.

Alright so Trump accepting rent payments from an Iranian bank during a period where there was an embargo on doing so, is a non-issue.
And a boss openly being inappropriate to women in the workplace, when that boss is running for president and shows a pattern of sexism, is a non-issue.

If there was an embargo with that bank, then it's an issue. But that's not what the article was harping on about. I haven't actually seen any evidence presented that Trump broke the embargo, although he has plenty of other dodgy business dealings, so it wouldn't surprise me. That said, even then, I doubt he even knew this bank was renting space in one of his buildings. He's still responsible as the managing director of the entire enterprise, but it's so far up the food chain, that he probably didn't know (however, he appointed incompetent people underneath him).
As for Trump's misogeny, there are already hundreds of examples, and better ones at that. If people are not yet convinced he's a sexist pig, then dragging out yet another example is not going to do anything. Nobody is going to go "eureka! all those soundbytes of him being a sexist prick to Megyn Kelly, Alicia Machado, Rosie O'Donnell and all his ex-wives were unconvincing, but him doing it on the set of his TV show is what sold me on the idea."

I have litigated workplace sexual harassment cases on behalf of plaintiffs, so I understand the issue better than most. I definitely get it.

Sure, some of us have better self-control than others, and we have a lot of self-imposed social constructs to constrain these male behaviors. But none of this changes the fact that, as a female friend of mine so eloquently put it, "men will fuck mud."
If we all freely followed our basic instinct 'Mans instinctual need for dominance' would cause WW3 by the end of the week as we establish the global alpha male.
Maybe we want someone to lead 'the greatest nation on earth' who has a little more self control. You know, something simple like not talking about wanted to fuck mud...

Its about reinforcing the image and refreshing it in the minds of voters as early voting starts. New stories are more likely to be picked up then the reminder of a story from 6 months ago.

But thats the problem with Trump... We do lots of 'wrong' things like rating female co-workers sexually in our mind. And thats acceptable so long as it stays in our mind. Trump has no regulation between mouth and brain, no self control. I would like one of the most powerful people on the planet to have a little self control.

Again, diluted because it used to be the opinions of men that defined what was and was not sexist but then women showed up and watered it down with all their experiences of sexism.

It appears the Reagans are also not pleased with Trump. Telling people to vote down ticket for the GOP, but Trump cannot be in White House.

Everyone checks out and rates to some level people they find attractive in their own mind, everyone. That's one thing as long as you're not a fucking creep about it. But no one else on the planet cares who or what you find attractive. There's no need to tell someone else you think Katie has got a bangin set of tits, keep it to yourself. The only reason to spread your rankings is if for some reason you need reassurance from other people on what you find attractive and that's actually quite sad. Like what you like, you don't need someone else's permission for that or their validation so just keep it to yourself.

Which is exactly what I said, people aren't actually mad about the "sexism" here, its only bothersome because it's out in the open. "Need reassurance", everyone needs validation lol, it's probably as strong a drive as sex. clearly you are a buddhist monk though, and are above such feelings.

At the time, the U.S. had a sweeping embargo in place which prohibited Americans from doing business with Iran, including receiving rent payments. However, some Iranian organizations were granted licenses exempting specific transactions from sanctions. If the payments were licensed, it may have been legally difficult for the Trump Organization to evict the bank.
The Treasury Department does not publicly disclose individual licenses granting companies exemptions from sanctions rules. The Treasury Department, the Trump campaign and Bank Melli all declined to answer whether the agency had issued a license to the Trump Organization or the bank permitting rent payments during Trump's ownership of the building.
The Trump campaign declined to answer any of ICIJ's questions about Bank Melli, but said Trump would take steps to avoid any conflicts of interest with his business dealings if he is elected president.
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-group-did-business-iranian-bank-later-linked-terror-n657636
Yes to embargo, but perhaps Trump had a license but he won't say? Just one more turd for the Trump turd pile for now. Perhaps we will get a definitive answer one day.

I need no validation to what I find attractive. I don't give a shit what your opinion is or anyone elses. I'm not a child. You lack self awareness, if you removed all the validation a person received, he/she would end up in a psych ward. Unless you spent your entire life trying to let go of it, but go ahead and pretend your not a child.
Your reading comprehension is amazingly bad.
Lets try this 1 last time. No one should need outside validation in what they find sexually attractive. Whether you like dudes or chicks, big boobs, small boobs, dudes with peg legs, redheads, black chicks, pointy elbows, feet, giant butts, jacked asian guys, etc. I don't need permission or validation from you or anyone else for my internal personal ranking system because I'm not a child. I like what I like, you like what you like and no one on earth cares what either of us are into.
We're not talking validation from your boss that you're a good worker or validation from your kid that you're a good dad. We're talking validation as to what you find attractive which is the only reason someone would feel the need to share with others who they find hot and why they've got the sexiest ass or whatever.

I find it very hard to believe Trump declaring losses on his tax returns is merely smart usage of the laws on the books. More likely he's obfuscating behind a lawyer army and dampening the IRS's willingness to litigate it. That would be in keeping with his not-so-good-faith litigiousness.

Nah, this IRS thing is a dud of a story. What he did was legal. And here's the other problem: even presuming that there are errors in the tax returns, Trump is going to be heavily insulated from liability by virtue of having CPAs handle all of this stuff.
