And now I take you back to something that probably unnoticed a long time ago but something that will be huge in the final 2-3 weeks. **Clinton campaign ad buys**. Folks, Clinton’s campaign is going to carpet bomb the networks and internet with advertising using Trump’s own words, and it’s going to be fucking brutal. It’s going to be the Clinton News Network and tonight’s featured program is: Tragic Trump. And so will tomorrow night’s programming. And so will the night after, and the night after, and…you get the picture. ---

> [@SaharaTea](#): > > Yeah, I made the mistake of reading some Facebook comments. One Trump supporter said it was no different than what every heterosexual man on the planet would say. If that’s true then I just became a lesbian. Well, that fits with Guliani’s thoughts that everyone in the world has committed adultery. These people just project their horrible personalities onto everyone else. ---

And I’ll add that I work with a guy who I have heard say the most incredibly offensive things about women. Pure crudeness with an overtone of anger/hostility. It is stuff like “I’d fuck the shit out of that bitch!” And, oh so predictably, he is a Trump supporter. ---

Dang even most “bros” (and I do not mean Bernie Bros) would have more class than that. And the thing is I don’t think he was just verbally posturing. We may be hearing from women that he has indeed grabbed the genitalia of without being invited to do so. ---

I certainly hope there is adequate security backstage at Sunday’s debate. I would not at all be surprised to see Trump become a bit unhinged from the weight of all the bad press he’s had to deal with for the past two weeks. This new revelation may be what finally pops his cork if it is brought up during the debate.
