Video Shows Donald Trump Joking About Dating A Ten year old Girl When She Gets Older
This is like that SNL skit where the men met their future second wife....smh

There sure are a lot of stories piling up all of a sudden.
Once we hit a baker's dozen accusations, which I'm sure we have if I would bother to count, it's just like Cosby....there is no room left for giving him the benefit of the doubt. Hell even a CNN anchor said one of her friends had Trump all over her. It sounds like this guy grabs, fondles, kisses whoever he wants until he's told to stop or the woman runs out of the room. Remember he also has case filed against him for the alleged rape of a 13 year old.
Can the GOP get any lower than this? Arguing over the definition of sexual misconduct so their candidate doesn't look as bad.

Election Update: Women Are Defeating Donald Trump
But it seems fair to say that, if Trump loses the election, it will be because women voted against him. I took a look at how men and women split their votes four years ago, according to polls conducted in November 2012. On average, Mitt Romney led President Obama by 7 percentage points among men, about the same as Trump’s 5-point lead among men now. But Romney held his own among women, losing them by 8 points, whereas they’re going against Trump by 15 points.

^ I'm worried he'll drag his loss out by refusing to concede and trying to file court cases. Who knows what could happen if he doesn't bow out of the election graciously.
Gawd what a horrible thought.

How many times have we heard that already?
I don't put much credence in polls conducted by Hillary's super PAC. Obviously designed to distract from the defeat on Sunday. Voters aren't that fickle. Check it out and you'll see the usual double digit oversampling of democrats.
Trump will battle on with enthusiasm and a solidified base. Prospective Hillary voters thinking it's a lock will only help him.
This has been explained to you over and over again. We've provided articles to you, written by statisticians ,presenting and explaining why your fallacies are just that, yet you repeat the same things again and again.
I guess it's inline with all the other Trump supporters though, facts are meaningless, the fix is in, polls are skewed, Republicans, women, minorities, evangelicals...everybody is part of the establishment.
When Trump loses then everybody will just claim they were right the entire time, the fix was in, you see? It's the worst thing for a democracy, a blowhard psycho who will not graciously concede he lost. Guarantee you Trump won't, and neither will his fans. I hope there is not violence.

Plus, the primary source is such an unreliable narrator, he probably doesn't even know or remember his initial motivation.
This made me LOL.
Say the speculations are true, or even just one- that he wasn't anticipating it getting this far, then the morons that he roped into his craziness are as responsible for the harm done. The phrase, you get what you deserve springs to mind for those people.. & also the phrase, we get the politicians we deserve. This summer has really proven that to be true to my eyes. Not just in Hicksville USA but in Little England too. It's been some year.
Good post, I would have repped you if you had it turned on.

Whether he is purposely destroying the GOP, I don't know. But I think it's safe to say he doesn't care who, or what, he steamrolls as long as it can benefit him in the long run.
I have also read that he's all about the backend on this. No interest as POTUS, but ultimately a media empire of sorts. I am not sure if I believe that or not, although it certainly could be possible and may be profitable for a while. He may want to ask Glenn Beck how that worked out for him though...
Also I think if he did this for his brand, not anticipating getting this far ever, he probably did more harm than good.
I can't wait to read the book about all this when it's over. If this is the chaos we see, I can only imagine how dysfunctional and insane it is behind the scenes.

He is setting up excuses for his loss: Not enough support, party turned on him, they are losers and afraid to fight etc.
He will smash the GOP (which is already fractured) into many pieces on his way out too.
#1469 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 526 weeks ago
I too have been very troubled with the hacking, Wikileaks and Trump's connections to Russia. It's much more disturbing to me then him being a sexist douchebag, that's for sure.
This is also where our tabloid 24/7 "news" media and our uneducated populace fails. In an educated society with legitimate news, this would be one of the top stories. Instead we'll get a couple dozen articles written, that will simply be swallowed up by all the other noise.
#1470 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 526 weeks ago
You know it. ^^^
The problem Trump has now is that he's just doubling down (tripling down) on his hardcore base. He's trimming away everybody else, but making the Brietbart types thrilled with his talk of jailing Hillary, 90's sex stuff etc etc. The hardcore right base isn't going to get him elected.
Glenn Beck....GLENN BECK just came out today in favor of Hillary. Not necessarily a ringing endorsement, but in favor of Hillary Clinton. Between him and Flagg....I just don't understand anything anymore.
