Trump was clearly bullshitting with another male chauvinist while describing the reality he lives in. Is he a pig? Yes. But it's not like anything is different. "Grab them by the pussy"? Sounds like an ad lib. I just don't get it. This was basically the text book definition of sexual assult. Thats a new low in a election cycle I thought might be out of them | ||

Sounds like an ad lib. I just don't get it. He was openly talking about sexually assaulting women and getting away with it because he is a celebrity. If that does not finish it than what will likely happen over the next few days is women he did this to will come forward and its all you will hear about which honestly makes me wonder....what were the republican opposition researchers doing that they could not dig up this stuff for months? | ||

They see a man that would rape them if he could get away with it. For context: here is a simpulation from 538: | ||

We knew somebody was doing the raping but it took this private conversation for us to know Trump was behind it. All we need now is his many victims to identify themselves. | ||
