Extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005 surfaces featuring the Donald and TV host Billy Bush. And without further ado, here's the Republican presidential nominee: [youtube]/rKB92ohXn20[/youtube]
Close your eyes for a minute and imagine if there was vid tape of Obama saying the same shit. Textbook White privilege. This isn't going to affect Trump's base voters one bit. But he did lose the women vote. I always thought this election was going to be a blowout in favor of HRC. I still see it that way.
Awaiting Trump's video statement, while Republican candidates in down ticket races this year scatter like roaches.
Trump isn't going to drop out. This gaffe isn't going to end his campaign or his base support. Obama had to be so spotless to make it to the WH. Trump has revealed himself to be a crude, disgusting scumbag who sexually assaults women and he's still going to be competitive with Hillary Clinton. Obama couldn't make a fraction of the mistakes Trump has during this campaign. Last night, Trump under normal circumstances should have been forced to withdraw from his campaign. But he won't. After the town hall debate Sunday, this incident will be lumped together with the many other 'missteps' by Donald and his base will only support him harder. If Barack, on the other hand, said on vid tape about how he cheats on Michelle and could grab other women in the pussy because he was famous, I kid you not, there would have been some people trying to get an arrest warrant issued. The DNC would have forced him out of the campaign. In America, only a White billionaire can fuck up on the scale Donald Trump has near the close of a presidential campaign and still be a threat to win it all. :smt078
Obama would've gotten crucified. Women MAY abandon him but his white, male supporters ain't give a shit.....at least not enough to affect their vote
I can't believe I'm saying this, but how is this such a big deal? A lot of men talk this way when they are just hanging out with other men. I don't get how this is worse than everything else he's said. Talk about white privilege. Wow ...
Politically it's a big deal because we like to pretend character and comportment are key personality traits for a successful leader, and indeed they are. The bigger story this incident tells about Trump is he believes he is beyond anyone else's rules because he's rich and powerful. I don't know if you want a POTUS entering office believing rules are for other people and not him. Other than that, it just makes Trump looks crude, ignorant and vulgar. You don't talk that way about women in public. Even it private, if I heard a dude say he grabs random women in the pussy if he likes them, I'd think he was a degenerate. Grabbing women in the pussy is something I would expect Mike Tyson to say, not a potential POTUS.
Uuhhh no. We talked about how we talked into some pussy but not grabbing the pussy. I never heard a guy say "I bought her some furniture and then I grabbed the puddie" Never.
I'm going to choose to not ridicule samson's comments. The reality is that it is how some very wealthy people talk. To some degree, Trump is right. Gold diggers will let you get away with a lot. No not all the women that he dealt with or all women are gold diggers. But to say that some of those women let him get away with groping them with no money interest is deceiving. Yes, men do talk in another manner about women. I suspect some women do it as well(Heard it before). The problem with this is that a politician would have known to cherry pick his words being in the light. Ever word you say can come back and haunt you. The president of the United States can get us into war with the wrong words. It speaks to his experience. As someone who was and is not ready to be president.
Go right ahead and ridicule my post. You have great opinions. I'd like to hear your thoughts. The point I'm making is that after all that he's said, the minute he says something that directly attacks white women, then it's a bridge too far. As far as what he said, that's pretty much how things work when you have money and star power. Shit, you don't even have to have money, just star power and it doesn't have to be a lot of that. So, Trump being who be is, why would he NOT talk like this? Why is everyone so surprised he would say this stuff out loud when be thinks no one will hear him? The level of outrage people feel now, they should've felt long before this. Politically, it should have been a big deal way back when he offered to pay bail for anyone going to jail for assaulting protesters at his rallys.
