> [@kayT](#): > > Is anyone else troubled by the tone of the Rep’s who are now disavowing Trump? I mean, they’re saying stuff like “he’s degraded our wives, mothers, daughters”. Does that seem a tiny bit patronizing to anyone else? I guess it was ok to degrade that poor Miss Whatever-it-was that Donald called a fat pig, because she wasn’t anyone’s wife or mother? Or weren’t those Rep’s listening that day? Wierd. To them, a woman can’t be her own person deserving of respect in her own right. They have to be defined in relation to some man so they can use the penumbra of his respect. ---

But despite the rumors that Huma Abedin is really Hillary’s lesbian lover, there’s no evidence whatsoever that Hillary’s a womanizer. But if it turned out she was, I’d vote for the womanizer. Definitely. 🙂 ---

Or weren’t those Rep’s listening that day? Wierd. You’re not wrong. My best explanation is that this was a cumulative response… one that had been building for a while… and that this event was the straw that broke the camel’s back. * * * Also, I am not saying that Donald Trump is a camel. You cannot make me say that Donald Trump is a camel. The two are [Nothing](https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/front-face-arabian-camel-head-close-up-17687178.jpg) alike [at all](http://img.wennermedia.com/620-width/donald-trump-a2a12f4d-6c26-4768-8900-d10d9257bfe7.jpg). For one thing, one is a dity anti-social animal with a horrible temper who has been known to expel an obnoxious spittle when annoyed that may or may not spread disease. For another, only one of them could run for president. ---

Or weren’t those Rep’s listening that day? Wierd. My loose guess also, judging by some of the stuff I’ve read online, is that a big difference is that it’s the Madonna/Whore thing. Alicia Machado is famous in part for showing off her body, therefore she’s a Whore and it doesn’t matter if people degrade her. Lots of “It’s her fault for putting herself out there” and “What did she expect she’d get?” type comments. Along the same continuum as Christy Mack getting assaulted being waved away. ---

To all the people (not necessarily just on this board, but in the general population) who are saying “This is just the way guys talk,” and stuff like that: There’s an important aspect of this that I think you’re missing, and I’m surprised it’s not getting more attention. If Trump had said something like “Boy, that woman is hot, I’d sure like to [do her, f\*\*\* her, lick her (p\*\*\*\*\*, b_ **s, q** r_\*dge).]” then you _might_ be justified in saying “Well, lots of men (and women) talk crudely in private about things they’d like to do sexually to other people, it’s not that big a deal.” Then Trump supporters could say “That’s our Donald! LOL!” and everybody else could roll their eyes and go back to talking about the hundreds of other awful things he’s said and done. But can’t we all agree there’s an important distinction between that kind of talk and saying “I can’t help myself!” and “I don’t even wait!” (You don’t even wait for what, Donald? _Consent?_) ---

What I also see is the remaining Trump supporters being deliberately obtuse about it. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > I wonder if he realizes that that logic allows people to say the same things about Melania. My impression of Trump is that he would be perfectly fine with people saying such things about Melania, because he considers it only on the impact it has on him. “Yeah, she’s a hot piece of ass, and I’m the man that’s got that hot piece of ass.” Likewise, more ickily, his daughter. ---

> [@Rushgeekgirl](#): > > His fans are already defending him, saying Real Men talk like this all the time and besides Hillary defended a rapist and Kaine has no experience plus he’s named after the bad son in the Bible. Oh so most men dont? It was the first thing I thought of. Some women must be awfully ignorant to this. I bet there are even Amish men in some respect that have talked this way. I know not all men talk this way but I cant bet somewhere in their lives (again not all men) have spoke to their buddies this way Who brought the audio recording to light? What is on the video?

Definitely. 🙂 How many politicians aren’t non convicted felons? I’d like to know why it is that one week something bad comes out about one candidate and then it takes a week for something bad to come out about the other one?? ---

Sorry if this has been discussed, but who the hell are the 8% of Republicans for whom this video makes them view Trump [more favorably](http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/politico-morning-consult-poll-229394). “An even sharper partisan dynamic existed when voters were asked whether the video gave them a more favorable or less favorable impression of Trump. Among all voters, 61 percent said it made them feel either somewhat or much less favorable toward Trump, while 28 percent said it didn’t affect their view of Trump; 8 percent said it made them feel more favorably toward Trump.” ---

And in every poll there are people who misunderstood the question, people giving random answers to get the poll over with, people who thought “5” meant more favorable and “1” meant less favorable (when it was really the other way around), and people just being smart asses.
