Obama blames Russia... so what else is new? Telling the public how Russians are hacking and then fabricating Hillary's emails so that her crimes be ignored. When democrats are just incompetent at keeping classified information hidden that exploits their crimes what do they do, they blame Russia. This would also come in handy because, Trump is a russian spy as he said that Putin is a strong leader... Clinton should just drone Assange already and save herself more embarrassment, thats what her solution was for the leaks anyway... | ||

What I took away that was the most disturbing from it is that he does think that he can get away with it. The most disgusting part is that he would've been right if he had never entered the political ring. | ||

Thanks. On October 08 2016 06:50 Plansix wrote: 100% confirmation of what we always knew was true, Trump is a sexist asshole who would sexually assault any woman if he felt he could get away with it. But Plansix, this cannot be true. He told you that nobody has more respect for women than he does. | ||

But Trump's much too incompetent to scrounge that up. What a scrub. To be fair, this is like an hour old at this point. I think shit gets real Monday. Everything Trump and company has is going to be coming out Monday. I would say Trump for sure loses the election at this point. It will take something new to make Trump viable. | ||

Like what theoretically needs to happen that makes them go "let's keep our dignity and ditch him". Does such a thing exist? I don't even understand Cruz and Ryan. These people have enough money and job opportunities anyway. If this doesn't do it, nothing will. They want power and just don't give a shit how they get it. | ||

Well, the fact that many men—powerful or not—get away with that kind of disgusting behaviour is honestly nothing new. Sadly impunity is the rule rather than the exception. | ||

An alternate universe where the fallout from ditching your nominee is smaller than the fallout from paying lip service to his run while hoping he loses the election. | ||

There's no question this will hurt Trump, it's just how much and does it trickle down to affect the down ballet races? I'm pretty sure this is almost the worst possible thing that could happen to Trump's chances, but I'm not sure who else he really has to lose. He's not doing well with women, but it's not like his black support. I think this will take his numbers with women and make them much worse. | ||
