If you believe the pundits, there was much gnashing of teeth and back-room bargaining, but few came out against him, publicly. I don’t recall anything at all be said about the sexual assault allegations. Trump was able, to an amazingly large extent, make his own rules. I still can hardly believe my ears whenever I hear “President Trump”. Is there an explanation of any kind on offer about why Trump remains relatively immune from these allegations to date? ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Is there an explanation of any kind on offer about why Trump remains relatively immune from these allegations to date? That’s a good question. I think part of it is that many of his supporters like that he’s not an “establishment politician”. But the GOP seems to be much, much, much more OK with ignoring ethics in order to consolidate political power. But probably part of it is that his supporters like that he’s not a “regular politician”. ---

With each new allegation against Franken, I lose my ability to take the thought of it being anything more than an accident too seriously. I feel that every other set of allegations in the news lately is undoubtedly a serious offense where the victim is a victim of somebody behaving as a sexual aggressor. I hate to say it, but I feel the hug gropers (not Tweeden) are the victims of their perception, the situation they’re all in and Franken’s hugging style. That said, Franken needs to think more about how he hugs people for photos because he’s giving people the impression he is doing something he does not intend. A lot. ---

Are you saying that the more women that say he groped them during a photo, the more you believe they’re all just misunderstanding innocent acts by Franken? Like, if it was one or two, you’d find that credible, but if it’s a dozen, they’re all probably wrong? ---

That said, Franken needs to think more about how he hugs people for photos because he’s giving people the impression he is doing something he does not intend. A lot. Some men like to grope surreptitiously when they get a chance. Is that really harder to believe than that multiple women are 100% wrong about whether or not they were groped? Your attitude is crazy (and harmful), IMO. People tend to know when they were touched inappropriately. Maybe very occasionally they misinterpret something… but multiple women, all of whom at the time told friends and family that they were groped? That seems far less likely than just that Franken likes to grope when he thinks he can get away with it. ---

The people I’ve spoken with - mostly women, mostly D - have several concerns. While admitting that the climate of workplace sexual interactions has changed - which is undoubtedly a very good thing, everyone i’ve spoken with has concerns about the degree of repercussions that should result, depending on the egregiousness (reflecting several factors) of the purported action, pattern of behavior as opposed to isolated incidents, and various aspects of the accusations. Many people have expressed a dislike for precipitously imposing punishment based on allegations. Other people have been concerned about applying today’s “morality” to remote actions. Everyone I’ve spoken with feels some level of distasteful behavior does not automatically disqualify someone from being able to hold public office. And no one has expressed an opinion that the accusations against AF so far warrant his resignation. ---

But the GOP seems to be much, much, much more OK with ignoring ethics in order to consolidate political power.

All plausible reasons except that the GOP has Pence on the sidelines, probably champing at the bit to become POTUS. Not that I prefer Pence over Trump. I loath them both. In fact, I think Pence is the more dangerous of the two in that he is likely to be more competent in delivering on GOP agenda. Surely the GOP leadership has made this calculation. They might even salvage some semblance of “doing the right thing” by dumping Trump. Yet they continue to support him. Why, is what I can’t figure out. ---

I think a lot of the party leadership is afraid that if they outwardly oppose Trump, they will be primaried in the next election, and lose to some Trump lackey. I really think they are motivated more by fear of loss of power than anything else. Trump is such wildcard, though. Like in _Survivor_, my own sense is you want to get rid of the wildcards. But it’s a scary thing to do when you think it will likely backfire. ---

But it’s a scary thing to do when you think it will likely backfire. I guess it depends on the meaning of ‘backfire.’ Trump is doing real damage to our alliances, turning a blind eye to the threat Russia represents, and there’s a nontrivial possibility that he might get us involved in a nuclear exchange. (The chance might be small, but the consequences would be yuuuuge.) Is it worth a Congresscritter’s sacrificing his/her political career to take a stand against this?

They may not be guilty of an actual crime under the heading of ‘treason,’ but AFAIAC, they’re traitors. ---

Impeach him? 25th Amendment? Pressure him to resign? Any of those would appear to hold rather obvious and rather severe electoral consequences for the GOP as a whole, don’t you think?

Several years ago I attempted to catch a departing female colleague’s attention by touching her shoulder, she turned around as my arm was extending and I… accidentally basically ended up administering a boob slap\*. Mumbled a “sorry” and We.Never.Spoke.Of.It.Again. Until the last few days as these allegations have been piling up in the media about various men. I asked her about it (we have remained friends) and how could she be so sure it was actually an accident. Her answer was that my face was one of mortified disbelief. According to her women can always tell, since the “accident” guys typically instantly seize up and become awkward. Not sure how accurate that is though since its based on a subjective assessment. \*Apparently I ended up causing a bruise. ☹ ---

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus said, “No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever.” The RNC suspended all support of Trump’s campaign shortly thereafter.[51][52] Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, tweeted, “Hitting on married women? Condoning assault? Such vile degradations demean our wives and daughters and corrupt America’s face to the world.” Ohio governor John Kasich, a former primary rival to Trump, called the remarks “indefensible”; former Florida governor Jeb Bush, also a former primary rival, called them “reprehensible”.[53] Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also denounced the video, but continued to support Trump.[54] Paul Ryan, the House Speaker, disinvited Trump from a scheduled campaign rally,[55] announced that he would no longer defend or support Trump’s presidential campaign, and in a highly unusual move he freed down-ticket congressional members to use their own judgment, saying “you all need to do what’s best for you and your district.”[54][56] > > Many members of the Republican Party rescinded their endorsements as a result of the release of the video,[57][58] including Governors Bill Haslam[59] and Robert J. Bentley;[60] Representatives Bradley Byrne,[58] Jason Chaffetz,[61] and Joe Heck;[62] and Senators Kelly Ayotte,[63] Mike Crapo,[64] and John McCain.[65] Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had previously kept his opinion private throughout the campaign, released a statement: “For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for president… As proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else — American.”[66] By October 11, “nearly a third” of Senate Republicans said they would not vote for Trump.[67] Other Republicans expressed continued support for Trump,[68] including former 2016 Republican candidate Ben Carson,[69] evangelical leaders Tony Perkins and Ralph E. Reed Jr.,[70] and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.[70] Other evangelical leaders, particularly the Southern Baptist Convention Ethics and Policy Director, Dr. Russell D. Moore, publicly rebuked evangelical leaders who still supported Trump.[71] In a tweet, Ted Cruz questioned why NBC, who had possession of the tape, sat on it for 11 years.[72] > > Calls to drop campaign[edit] > > By October 8, several dozen Republicans had called for Trump to withdraw from the campaign and let his VP running mate, Mike Pence, take over the Republican ticket.[73][74][75] Among those favoring a Pence takeover were former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr., U.S. Senators Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Deb Fischer of Nebraska, and U.S. Representatives Jason Chaffetz of Utah, Bradley Byrne of Alabama, Rodney Davis of Illinois, and Ann Wagner of Missouri.[75][57] > > Pence himself released a statement on October 8, saying, “As a husband and father, I was offended by the words and actions described by Donald Trump in the eleven-year-old video released yesterday… I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them.” However, he said he still supported Trump since he “has expressed remorse and apologized to the American people.”[68][76][77] > > Trump insisted he would never drop out.[78] As of October 8, depending upon the state: > It was not possible to change the names on ballots at the late date for purely legal reasons.[79] > Many general election ballots had already been printed, and it would be expensive to change them.[79] > In states with early voting, thousands of ballots had already been cast.[79] > > For these reasons, commentators said that it would have been very difficult, if not impossible, to replace Trump as the Republican nominee.[79][80] > > Withdrawal of political support[edit] > > As the day wore on, a growing number of Republicans went beyond criticizing Trump’s remarks or rescinding endorsements of him and began calling for Trump to drop out of the presidential race, ceding the Republican nomination to another person.[74][75] On the afternoon of October 8, Trump responded with a tweet: “The media and establishment want me out of the race so badly - I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! #MAGA”.[81] > > The Republican National Committee continued to support Trump, and within the next couple of days, several of the Republicans who wanted Trump to drop out said that they were still voting for him. Steve Bannon said in an interview on 60 Minutes that response to the controversy served as a “litmus test” for Trump’s Republican allies. For example, according to Bannon, Chris Christie was denied a Cabinet position because he said Trump’s comments were “completely indefensible”. ---

Yeah, a gangly teenager might screw up and grab a boob by mistake during a photo, but once you’re approaching the half-century mark I think you’ve gotten a grip (no pun intended) on whether you are grabbing a boob or butt. Yes actually. Several studies have attested that men and women perceive [actions differently](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2744967/) with men especially being less [likely to perceive an action](https://schoolworkhelper.net/sexual-harassment-malefemale-differences-in-perceptions/) as threatening. There is a good chance that absent additional context, such an action might be perceived as being playful, friendly or at worst intending to kid or annoy.
