How much could they realistically have? How many times was Trump on Access Hollywood?

It maybe could have only been that one time, or maybe one other time as well, but if he spent the whole time before his segment/interview/whatever being a crude misogynist idiot, I bet there's quite a bit.

Possibly a ton. It takes a lot of material to make a scene, much less an entire episode or series of episodes. Even if he was only on the set for 8 hours, he could say tons of reprehensible poo poo in that time.

No, the claim that you can't change the ballot if your nominee quits

There are 50 (plus DC) state election commissions with different rules and poo poo that have to be changed, and not all legislatures are controlled by Republicans and are in session. Early voting has already started in a few states. There is no possible way to change candidates at this point.

Also something that'll hamstring any attempts at replacing Trump: who do you replace him with? No one who has any thoughts, be they exaggerated or not, of a future career in politics is not going to agree to be the punching bag who gets slaughtered as a replacement. You could maybe get like, Ben Carson, but not anyone who is a 'real' politician, so to speak.

I don't wish harm or death upon Trump, despite all this.

He needs to live until the election so he can be crushed without stupid conspiracies about Hillary having him assassinated marring things and potentially hindering her victory and utter crushing of the GOP.

After that, though...

Yeah, but I very much doubt that Cooper will be at all inclined to go softball on him like Lauer did - that's my main point. Chances of a weak moderator letting Trump weasel around the point are about as low as they could possibly be.

No way Pence would agree to that, I think. It'd be such a stacked deck against him that it's way easier and less painful to just wait the four years and give it a shot in 2020 instead.

Coulda sworn the bill rape stuff was just rumors, someone wanna source me some real quotes or something? Meanwhile Trump is on camera literally admitting to sexual assault

They weren't rumors, they were public accusations. There's no major physical evidence, so it's he said she said. Juanita Broaddrick is generally considered the most troubling.

It's a giant can of worms that I'm afraid would be awful to discuss in the context of this election.
