He might have a future on Fox News. No other network with cable number < 300 is going to touch him. He will have a brand - but it will be a WalMart brand, not a Macy’s brand, and it will bring in a lot less revenue. And he is going to have a hell of time convincing people with money to let him brand his buildings. Places in his residential buildings no longer command a premium.
The article is from August - who the hell with any money is going to want to live in a Trump building now?
That’s true, but the one case that several posts have now mentioned/linked has some significant complications (ie Harth later ‘dated’ Trump, see NYT link*) compared to the again imagined hypothetical ‘walked up and grabbed genitals’ end of story. Yes the tape is also significant wrt various stories along the way with non-groping crude remarks and unsolicited kissing stuff on Apprentice and beauty contests.
*No point in sidetracking to how that should/shouldn’t impact anything. Like the crude remarks video itself, the chips just fall where they fall with the relevant voters. You or I could cry ‘zero relevance!’ from the highest mountain about various aspects of real stories which differ from the hypothetical criminal acts in various posts on the thread, but so what from those voters’ POV?
**Tamerlane,**you are a lot smarter than most of the others here (including me), but are you really unaware that many men (and especially braggarts like the Donald) love to boast about non-existent sexual prowess and conquests? I mean, its pretty much SOP. He is not boasting about committing sexual assualt, he is boasting about his virility and attractiveness.
Face it the only thing the Donald grabs when propositioning a woman is his chequebook.
Which is one of the reasons why he is doing so well, people lose their minds over him and this could backfire if its not seen as anything but what it is, example no 11174 iof why he is a despicable man with a sad empty boast rather than him being some sort of criminal.
Rubio probably regrets the day ge broght up Trump’s hands.
That’s a truly beautiful turn of phrase. Perfectly describes Trump and the others like him.
Agree with the chorus of men saying this behavior is not in fact garden variety male thinking. At least not from 21st Century males even remotely not disqualified from any position of responsibility by their abject lack of morals.
I think you’re missing the point. This video doesn’t prove he’s guilty of assault. It proves he’s okay with assault, and thinks it’s worth bragging about.
But what about your friends? Do you really hear bragging about groping all the time? I was in the Navy and I didn’t hear that – I heard lewd sex talk, but not groping and assault talk.
No, he has a point. I’m rapidly becoming convinced that it’s Trump who’s the real victim here. Also, both sides do it and Trump is just saying what everyone is thinking.
Listen to the advice of the Pointer Sisters first… I want a man with a slow hand
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
-Slow Hand-
GRABBING a woman’s crotch is a no-no. Women don’t like it, no matter what they do thereafter, they didn’t invite it, desire it or deserve it.
Even in Thailand, I never heard guys bragging about how hard they tried to fuck a married woman. Not once. Trump has clearly gone too far this time. Finally.
My apologies if this offends the Christians here, but my experience is the more devout, the more naive. And Trump is a showman. We don’t know the conversations they had early on, but I am sure Trump was able to persuade Pence he was a reformed man. And I’m sure Pence wanted to believe the best, especially if he had any notion that god wanted to propel him into the national political limelight.
Clinton has made the rounds. She has went around to each table, given them what they wanted and moved on to the next interest group’s table. She has built the coalition: the women, the students, the hispanics, the neoconservatives/neoMcCartyites, the old people/SDMB crowd, and the government employees. I have been sitting here waiting all night, nursing half a beer, checking my phone for good news from Trump that never comes. I’ve been in the room but have been ignored.
Until now:
“But If Everybody’s Watching, You Know, All Of The Back Room Discussions And The Deals, You Know, Then People Get A Little Nervous, To Say The Least. So, You Need Both A Public And A Private Position.”
“The Simpson-Bowles Framework And The Big Elements Of It Were Right… You Have To Restrain Spending…”
“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future…"
Pence was OK with Trump attacking the Mexicans and Mooslems but now it turns out Trump has assaulted White Women. That is a bridge too far for the Republican weasels – White Women are off limits.
Yes, but the point is that on the whole list of objectionable things Trump has said or done in his life or even in the last 36 hours, this is rather low. We know he is a waste of matter unqualified to run even a lemonade stand.
If we discovered that Pope Francis has a secret furry fetish, then that would be news (:D), but Trump is a crass, boastful, thin-skinned, woman hating semi-sentient Orangutang and that was know before this video.

The majority of my middle/upper middle class midwestern catholic friends are still voting for Trump. The females are the most adamant. Because abortion.:smack:
Life for a Trump supporter must be a cross between searching for an appropriate end of life option and researching a permanent move to the Ukraine. Hopefully they will not chose option one.
