Kristin Anderson has come forward claiming Trump reached up her dress and touched her \*\*\*\*\*. Trump called her a liar. It boggles the mind how his supporters can accept this as lies and conspiracy shit. But then, I have a distant family member who supports him because if he doesn’t get in, they will take all their guns. Yeah, some driveways don’t run all the way to the street. ---

I am really starting to think that this just might be it for Donald Trump. I could see him quitting – this is much, much worse than what we were talking about a week ago. The tape was gross, but it was just words at that time. I think we all suspected that it presaged what was to come, but until we actually had accusers, we could only speculate. Hell, even if it were one or two or even three – maybe just maybe he recovers. But this is likely going to be a steady drip of horrific stories like Bill Cosby. ---

A new Trumpster is on CNN, just listened to the tape and claimed she has been in her son’s locker room(soccer) and heard similar talk. What the _hell_ is she doing _in her son’s locker room_ when other boys are in there? ---

“Fools!” But yes, he’ll talk about how you blew it and America is doomed, he’ll blame the media for something, it’ll be everyone’s fault but his. Status quo, really. Or he’ll try to say something gracious someone else wrote for him and do so with all the grace of a gazelle trying to climb a tree. ---

I’d give at least even odds that Trump doesn’t concede at all on election night. Clinton will wait and wait and finally end up giving a victory speech around 1 AM EST. Only then will Trump come out (Fox News will cut away from Clinton to him, but most other outlets will do the decent thing and let the first female president-elect have her moment) and tell his supporters he’s the victim of the most massive voter fraud in history, and that they should refuse to acknowledge the election as legitimate. ---
