Can Trump wiggle out of this one?

Wow. This will truly indicate how much teflon he's wearing. Would be a miracle if he pulls this out

What's your thoughts

I doubt it changes most people's minds. It's not like the name Clinton brings up memories of wholesome family values.

I don't trust the Clintons but Trump really sickens me. Like no joke...he's accused of being a pedophile.

He was never going to win, but his deplorable supporters won't blink an eye at this.

Those ignorant supporters Trump referred to when he said he could shoot somebody in the street and they'd STILL vote for him are going to stick by him regardless. However, there are a lot of Republicans who have publicly backed Trump, but will vote for Hillary once they reach the privacy of the voting booth.

I think Trump was already going to lose, but this controversy will seal the deal!

no doubt in my mind trump masterminded this. the man never really wanted to be president. he'll make more money not being president than being president. that's all he wants. i said this a year ago. south park nailed it.

I'm sure he's surprised at far he's gotten, but the guy has been masterminding things from the very start. This is a very smart and cunning man, and most people are stupid enough to fall for the BS. Trump ain't going to want to spend the next 4 years being a President. It would be like prison work for him.

Was going to post the exact same thing. His supporters dont give a f.

And yes, I also believe Trump really doesnt want to win. He likely wants to win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote.

LOL!! Which comments are you talking about from yesterday that was deplorable? The one where he thinks he is untouchable with women or the one where he STILL accused the Central Park Five of raping that girl.

His supporters don't care.

I can see the pro Trump tshirts now: "Women are like Six Packs"


The question serious politicians on both sides should be looking at is the forces and issues that made Trump ascend in the first place (other than Hilary sucks - because that is only a small piece of the story)

Just like FDR was smart to co-op certain socialist ideals to a)keep the country from imploding and more importantly and really the reason b) to steal the radical's thunder.

The leadership of this country needs to take a long, sober, realistic look at some of the GENUINE concerns fueling Trumps campaign and the general lack of faith in the countries institutions by people of ALL political persuasions. I'm discounting the portion of Trump's supporters who are white, butthurt racists. But I'd bet that portion, while not insignificant, doesn't explain the broad support.

People get that the government isn't really working for them, so they've turned to the strongman. The Italians did it. The Spanish did it. The Germans did it, so it's not without precedent in Western Democratic society. Sure, the USA has a much longer democratic tradition, but if you haven't noticed it being whittled at for years, you clearly aren't paying attention.

Sorry but I'm under the belief that this is all political theater and totally scripted. And it's not the first election like this either.

I think you nailed it right on the head. People have lost trust in the systems of this country and Trumps radical campaign has grasped the attention of these people. It goes beyond race, gender and orientations at this point. The fact that he has not taken a lot of super PACs money plays a big part as well to people. Clinton has done herself no favors in this election and I can expect Trump to have some tricks up his sleeve as it gets closer to election day. Either way the people lose and that is the tragedy.

In 2012 election when Obama gave a slap to the crusty old white guys, I seriously thought RNC needed to change strategy which they actually tried to. In 2016, GOP voters are just doubling down on everything. I really can't blame Trump for this... it's really the people that voted for him. Unless Hillary effs up the next 4 years, I don't see how 2020 will be anything good for the GOP.
