Wait, "Trump apologizes?" Really? He apologized for something?!


Yes and it was by mutual understanding. They just focused on the downballot while Dole shambled around pretending to run a serious campaign.

No. "I'm sorry if you were offended" isn't an apology

Of course not. He "apologizes if anyone got offended".

It's still more than Trump has ever done on that front which shows even he realizes how bad this one is.

It's basically "I'm sorry that for some reason you're feeling offended by this" which is p. much the kind of non-apology that you'll get from any true narcissist. Also there's deffo going to be a video tape released of Donald Trump doing the V-finger cunnilingus gesture at a girl on The Apprentice within 3 weeks.

the GOP gets to pick a new candidate, I think? Most likely Pence would be pushed up and he'd grab some random nobody as VP, and the party would just write the presidency off and Pence would use the next month to try and help the downballot races.

The bad thing about the audio leak is that it's hard for Clinton to say, during the debate, that Donald Trump said "grab her by the pussy", because Clinton can't say that word on national television so she'll have to come up with some good way of making reference to that sentence, without saying it.

I'm wondering if all this bullshit means they won't get that pass. I mean, they'll get a partial pass, obviously, but I suspect they won't get a complete pass.

There's no precedent that I can think of, but the GOP would have to draft someone really loving quickly. Alternatively hell freezes over at the news that Trump actually accepted some of the consequences of his behaviour for the first time in his life.

They need to turn out the base for the downballot and if their nominee goes away into the night turnout is going to go down the drain. The GOP are stuck with him and Trump's obviously not dropping out because he's Donald Trump.

He didn't. The press statement (which probably isn't from him) was a half assed whiny "sorry if you were offended lol" apology.
