The Daily News should rerun those Ryan-Trump photos, but this time with the headline “I’m Not with Rapist.”
(The original read, “I’m with Racist.”)
The media will do everything in their power including hypocritical outrage to help their darling win. Where was this outrage when Clinton was actually grabbing pussy in Arkansas and the White House?
I love (thread) shitting too. 
Okay, you’ve convinced me. Not a word of what he said is relevant. Everyone should just ignore it, because it says absolutely nothing about the candidate or his judgment. It’s a complete wash, because of his opposition’s husband.
Glad we could get that out of the way.
Let’s keep it at least sort of on track, shall we?
That’s absolute nonsense. I was a part of the feeding frenzy during the whole Monica thing. We pounded Clinton so hard it was one of those never-before never-again sort of things. Clinton got more bad press during that time than Nixon ever did during Watergate for heaven’s sake.
What I keep coming back to is: who the holy fuck didn’t know that this was what Trump is like?!
I mean, there are low-information voters, but sheesh.
And a whole bunch of big-shot Republicans are going, “we’re sickened and disgusted by what Trump said,” but not withdrawing their endorsements. (Except Sen. Mike Lee. Can’t stand him, but credit where credit is due.)
My favorite reaction is from one of Owen Ellickson’s satirical tweets:
Yeah, like their relentless drumbeat of stories about Hillary’s email server, about the emails themselves, about her speeches, and about the Clinton Foundation. And they kept these up for months and months, from last year to just last month fercryinoutloud, even though all they had was a bunch of nothingburgers that they justified as news by saying they Raised Questions or had troublesome Optics.
Yeah, the media have done so much to help Hillary. The media are the only reason why this campaign isn’t already a rout: they’ve cast enough doubts on her honesty and trustworthiness on the thinnest of pretexts that most of America thinks she’s a habitual liar, when she’s probably more honest than 90% of politicians.
I think to really get the broader perspective of Donald you have look at the sum of the parts of his misogynistic history, and to do that I think you have to weigh in things like: he hired Roger Ailes on his campaign, the man who was fired from fox for harassing numerous women. And his friendship with billionaire Jeffry Epstein the convicted sex offender and take a look at the court documents here about Trump raping a 13 year old at one of Epstein’s parties:
This just shows that Trump was presciently right when he said that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in Manhattan and not lose his supporters. They would just point out the hypocrisy in the lack of outrage when Hillary personally gunned down Vince Foster, particularly in light of her views of her somewhat more restrictionist views on gun control. Caesar can do no wrong.
I do think this will cost Trump a few percentage points of support. He’s going to lose some evangelicals, because for so many of them, being naughty about sex is the worst sin of all. And this will further erode his support among secular Republican women.
The question in my mind is, will this totally overshadow the debate tomorrow night? Or will the town hall questioners badger him about it? Because that would be quite entertaining.
We haven’t been given a gift like this in a long, long time…
Just reading that sentence, I thought you meant Trump. He’s the reality TV star, and he’s the reason for the YUUGE ratings for debates and news coverage. A Trump Presidency would be a boon for TV news.
Don’t forget that Trump wants to throttle the press.
Unless they give him favorable coverage, right?
But what about all those dying and almost dead people… people dragging gangrenous limbs and IV stands… all trying desperately to hang on and to make it to their voting booths by November 8th…?
People doing their best to turn Election Day into some “Palm Beach Necropolis”*?
Q: Won’t this just kill them…? Because right about now, I’m not so sure they’re listening to … brains …
- Hey, YOU try rhyming Zombie Apocalypse…
Yes, he’s a cad. But while this single thing would sink many (but not all) politicians, I personally rate this a mere 1.5 on the Trump-o-meter. I mean, really; a vulgar New York real estate magnate? Shocking!
Not the best reason for people to turn away from him (compared to his other sins, his other issues, and his lack of qualifications). I’ll be kind of disappointed if this is what does it, unless I can view it as a “nail in the coffin” kind of thing.
But, hey, I’ll absolutely take what I can get.
Cite that Hillary Clinton did anything of the sort?
The support of women is going to be much more significant than evangelists who would more likely vote on Supreme Court picks. Losing a few percentage points of white women supporters in the swing states could cost him any chance of an upset.
i wonder about it. How many questions are being rewritten now?
This is the sort of cognitive dissonance I…
I thought that…
You can’t be…
I’m literally shaking my head, not knowing what to say to this. But the mentality of it makes me sick.
