When Trump won the primary I said Hillary had pulled off The Full McCaskill on a Presidential level. I may have undersold it. Trump is actually a worse candidate than Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin. :stare:

I don't know why there are so many female Trump surrogates on my TV and yet at no point have they been asked if they think Trump (or any man) has the right to grab them by the pussy, nor asked what they would do if Trump (or any other man) grabbed them by the pussy, nor how they would feel if Trump or another man grabbed them by the pussy.

Why are anchors avoiding these obvious questions? Make these disgusting shills defend their awful candidate and his deplorable behaviour, don't let them tack and then prattle on about jobs and terrorism.

EDIT: And also all these (mainly Republican) men phrasing their disapproval in terms of "I'm a father/grandfather/brother/husband/etc. therefore..." is also creeping me the gently caress out. It reads awfully like "I have some womenfolk as property, and I am very worried about a man doing damage to that property." Like, maybe we could just all be against sexual assault just because it's abhorrent and disgusting, not because it could affect you personally if it happened to a woman you care about.

If they go too far the Trump reps can just shrug them off as being Hilary shills. Asking objective flat unemotionally driven questions gets the point across better to the viewer. It also plays well on TV when someone asks someone a question and that person just ignores it completely and rambles about something else.

What's the worse equivalent of the birth certificate "debate"? Maybe it turns out that Donald was never born anywhere. He's an illusion and never existed. That's how the Republicans will justify kicking him off the ticket.

He used a cigar as a dildo while he was having one of his affairs, as far as I know it was only used vaginally, but who really gives a gently caress? It disturbs me that anti-Clinton folks can't distinguish between Bill Clinton having ill-advised but consensual affairs and Trump sexually assaulting women and bragging about it.

So, what strategy does Trump take on Sunday? Does he go for the remorseful route, apologize, then plead that they stick to the issues? Or does he make it a marathon of low blow hail marys and throw anything to see if it sticks?

The remorseful route and showing a human side(or faking it) is probably the only way he can weather the storm that's going to hit him.

He's probably hosed anyway though.

He couldn't even get through a less-than-two-minute video statement without turning the apology into an attack. So make of that what you will.

This isn't really new. A lot of men are outright incapable of relating to women as people, they can only relate to them through themselves. You see it everywhere if you know how to look for it.

That's what makes this so amazing. That's absolutely what they need to do, but they can't. They have to resign themselves to watching him desperately flail around on stage and make everything worse and their best hope is getting started on planning the damage control early.

They can't because the Secret Service will straight up break anyone who tried holding Trump against his will. This is the protection service that has bulletproof SUVs with minigun turrets, among other toys. The SS fucks up and loves its hookers and blow but they would make a messy example of anyone that tries to force Trump to stay out of a situation that isn't life-threatening. Stopping Trump from running in to a literal burning building? Sure. Stopping him from running in to a metaphorical burning building on Sunday? Noooooooope.

I don't see why the GOP would want Trump to drop out. It would cause chaos and would not help the cause at all; there's not enough time. Ballots already have his name, and even if the GOP as a whole went out and said like, "Write in Marco Rubio!" it wouldn't do anything. Plenty of people would still vote Trump. It would just split their base.

I mean I guess it could help their downticket ballots but even then I don't think it would. It's too late and they're all tethered to Trump at this point.

It amuses me that my parents get the WSJ (they don't even read it, they actually tried to cancel their subscription years ago but it still keeps coming) so I can get a lovely peak into the world of the conservative and rich.

Trump's statements barely make it onto the front page. There's just a tiny blurb and a picture on the front page saying "Uh, yeah, Trump did something bad, go check A4", and then the article is only a single column not even the length of the page trying to play it off as "locker room language." Best part is that the WSJ doesn't do a Sunday edition so this is going to keep exploding and getting worse all day (I wouldn't be surprised if there was another horrible tape or two released by the time I get off work) and the WSJ won't be able to react until after the debate.


Speaking of the debate, how bad are we betting the meltdown is going to be? Is Trump going to surpass Chernobyl by melting down so hard he actually reaches the water table?
