trump's admission that he didn't score on this particular occasion

Interesting; I'll watching carefully to see if the PUA alt-right crowd will soon decamp from Trump and look past him to a hypothetical next hero, someone virile enough not to be even concerned with what women will "let" them do.

"Trump didn't manage to nail that stuck-up bitch, even though she should by rights have acquiesced to his male power. And then he spinelessly apologized! Clearly Trump's a beta cuck loser. Another betrayal. Next time we need a REAL alpha male. KURGAN '20!"

TRUMP'S IDEA OF LOCKER ROOM TALK: I love sex crimes.
ACTUAL LOCKER ROOM TALK: Jesus, that old man is using the hand dryer on his asshole.

Given everything we know about trump, do repubs actually think he will step down? Like, what is the benefit would there be to him?

intheblanks, Saturday, 8 October 2016 19:14 (seven years ago) link

chances she ditches him after the election?

serge thoroughgoods (will), Saturday, 8 October 2016 19:14 (seven years ago) link

Oh gurl, it's only been 24 hours since this came out. He hasn't had enough time to apologize for everything he's done behind your back yet.

If half of Trump's voters go to Evan McConnill, he could win the state.

For 80 years, the Deseret News has not entered into the troubled waters of presidential endorsement. We are neutral on matters of partisan politics. We do, however, feel a duty to speak clearly on issues that affect the well-being and morals of the nation.

Accordingly, today we call on Donald Trump to step down from his pursuit of the American presidency.

Is this more about the republicans trying to disassociate themselves from Trump and salvage what's left of their reputation rather than anyone actually thinking he will withdraw? or do they think there a way that Trump can be convinced that he will save more face than by going now?

This morning, Pence called Trump and told him he had to handle the next 48 hours alone. He didn't think he'd be an effective surrogate.

He should stand by his man.

as an example of how bad 538 is when it's someone other than nate silver doing the writing, the headline article posted at 2pm today was

"Will The Trump Tape Have A Bigger Effect On The Race Than Past Controversies?"

the deseret news editorial contains the line

"America’s locker rooms deserve better."

I wonder if Trump supporter show the same sympathy they are giving Trump to the cashier at Piggly Wiggly who gave them incorrect change

re: the rap lyric discussion, I've now started to see it too. the 'funny' thing being that both Rick Ross and Too $hort got eviscerated in the mainstream and hip-hop press for saying things like what Trump said. it isn't like rapey lyrics get a free pass (albeit, admittedly, some very vile, sexist shit does get excused in rap and that's a valid convo, but point being saying rapey stuff in hip-hop doesn't go unnoticed).

Cruz's Trump endorsement is looking better all the time.

afaict there are no extant, established procedures for expelling a candidate from the party nomination - only ones for if he dies, takes ill or drops out of his own volition. he ain't dropping out, and the fried chicken hasn't killed him yet

A third rate talking head of the kind that populate FOX News on a late Saturday afternoon said what Trump said has "no comparison" compared to Bill Clinton and Juanita Broaddrick and FDR and Missy Le Hand.

What did FDR do to Missy besides work her into a stroke?

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 October 2016 20:24 (seven years ago) link

Broaddrick testified under oath that they had a consensual relationship. Ivana testified that they didn't.
