Reminder this man has been accused of rape. So evidently not everyone lets you do it. And that doesn't even say anything about wanting it. Meaning yes it is sexual assault.

"When you're a star, they let you do it" implies that he knows only gets away with it because he's rich and famous, that it makes the women he does this to uncomfortable and they wouldn't stand for it if his money and power weren't intimidating them.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
So for folks who were wondering when we'd finally see a Clinton campaign oppo action...this is what it looks like. 48 hours before the second debate, tied into a planned release for the first debate. How's that for winning the weekend news cycle?!

As much fun as that would be, that's just not going to happen.

First, Trump's not going to resign. Withdrawing now wouldn't be any different than losing the election, in terms of his public image and personal ego, and it's not like he's looking to keep the party happy so they'll help him with a comeback in some future election. This is his only shot at politics, one way or the other. Even from a business perspective, what does withdrawing now get him? It's not going to bring around all the people he's alienated, and all it would do is piss off that group that already loves him. If anything, he's strongly incentivized to stay in it until the bitter end, since at least that offers the possibility of Trump/Breitbart/Ailes media ventures after the election, which won't be possible if he alienates that core of his supporters who think that Fox News is too far to the left.

On the party side, the closest that Republican rules get to talking about an involuntary removal is to allow them to select a replacement candidate after some undefined event other than death or resignation happens, but it provides no mechanism to do the actual removal. The rule itself is pretty clearly just some broad language to cover a candidate leaving the race under goofy circumstances, like a Woodrow Wilson-style incapacitation. Even if the party apparatchiks all agreed that they do, in fact, have this power that is nowhere in the rules, how long would it take them to not only make the decision, but agree on who will take Trump's place? Obviously Pence would be the frontrunner, and perhaps prohibitive favorite, but even if they do get to him, and get there quickly, there's 30 days until the election. Even a half-day lost figuring this out is essential and irreplaceable time. And that assumes that Trump doesn't get his lawyers to challenge it in court, or get his loyalists to drag out the process...

And then there's the most important question, would they really be in a better position if they took him out involuntarily? Would all those hardcore Trumpkins still show up to vote, or would they spend election night on Twitter talking about the dolchstoss instead and giving the party a big middle finger at the polls? If Trump voluntarily stepped down, there's a narrow path that Pence could walk down that would marginally increase the chance of a Republican presidency, but if they take him out, it's hard to see how it doesn't also end up costing them the Senate and quite likely the House at that point. Remember, a modern ground game isn't about winning hearts and minds and getting people to jump to the other side, it's about turning out your base, and it's hard to see any way that taking Trump out involuntarily doesn't depress Republican turnout.
