Trump's done.
Thats the thing though, everyone always knew that. That is why I cant really fathom it is even a story. No one really cared about JFK or bill clinton for that matter doing these things either and I absolutely guarantee if someone had followed JFK he would have at some point said something about how women flock to his power or influence just as trump had done and that he made advances on them. This tape was proof Trump did what we ALL already knew he has done in the past. A rich man who used his wealth to attract women that he went on to make advances they "let" him make. There was no force acknowledged here. One might not have assumed their was audio of it, but if you didnt think trump said something like this before then you didnt know much on his past. The idea anyone relates this to sex abuse is just weird.
I agree with guiliani. The debate was a beat down. The media spent days trying to pretend it was all over because GASP trump got caught saying they he uses his power and influence to attract women he then GASP makes advances on that they LET happen. Pffft. Im not even making excuses for it at all, I was the odd man out many a times in my life because I dont have locker room talk like this with the guys, but we all knew Trumps history with the ladies which as far as I know has no force involved. We all know Trump has cheated on wives in the past, as well as having been with married women, and even spent a lot of time at the playboy mansion or his own miss universe contest. Suddenly this matters a month before the debate, because we found unvarnished talk about what we all knew he was like? lol. I am sure it annoyed many but I dont expect it to change the vote much.
It would be like if a tape came out on hillary with her talking to some wealthy supporter telling the person she will act on their behalf as she accepted their money. We all know she has done this type of thing. Hearing it in a new way might be shocking to hear but it isnt likely to heavily sway people when most of anyone voting hillary lready knew she was like that.
