This might be a dumb as gently caress question but is there any way the Clinton campaign could be coordinating these drops? Even if it's just someone saying "Oh hey I wonder what's in the howard stern tapes of Trump" or whatever? There is no way everyone is just randomly finding this poo poo at the same time.

Meredith Baxter-Burnout posted:I still think it's bizarre that after everything that's happened so far that this is the watershed moment in this election. I suspect it's a dam breaking thing. As someone said, a lot of GOP lower level guys hate Trump, have always hated Trump, and never wanted Trump. Now they have an opportunity and they want to loving pounce.

This thread is insane, just managed to catch up.. I don't think anyone caught this bit in the NYT article posted a day or so ago (they're so hard to keep up with): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/09/opinion/sunday/donald-trump-groper-in-chief.html?smid=tw-share quote:Harth says that she worried about being raped by a man who weighed twice as much as she did, and at one point she vomited as a defense mechanism. USPol Oct: vomited as a defense mechanism

The reason it was released at the same time as the Wikileaks thing was because Wikileaks is weirdly in the tank for Trump, for god knows what reason, and they released it immediately afterwards hoping it would be distracting enough to nullify the Trump tape (it wasn't even close).

The "grab em by the pussy" tape was probably the Clinton campaign, as was the 1995 tax record. Other stuff is studios who own these tapes realizing "holy poo poo we probably have some gold in here."

berserker posted:I mean how could anyone possibly think Pence being thrust into the top of the ticket after having not even been in the primaries at all is a good idea? I think it's more likely that Trump refuses to step down and Pence leaves to campaign for downticket races. That best furthers Pence's career because he can come out of this looking "principled" and be a favorite for 2020. If Trump leaves and Pence gets promoted to Presidential candidate then a lot of Pence's awfulness gets exposed, Trump's base won't support him and he will lose in a landslide. Really the best thing for the GOP would be to sever entirely with Trump and focus on damage control and salvaging downticket races, but they're hosed either way.

So the actual best option might be Trump telling his cohorts to vote for him alone and no other "down ticket" republican. Solely so that he can "show them" how it's done.

I literally just saw a commercial for Trump (paid for by the NRA) featuring a woman recalling an encounter where someone pulled a knife on her and she pulled out her gun and shot him. She then goes on to say Hillary is gonna take our guns and then...wait for it...women have the right to defend themselves with a gun and Donald Trump supports that right. The irony of this commercial juxtaposed with footage of him basically condoning sexual assault against women is just too much for me.

Grab em by the pussy was from a studio realizing "oh poo poo we probably have some big gold in our tapes" after the shitstorm Trump had with Alica Machado and someone then leaking the tape to Washington Post. So I don't think we have had any actual oppo drops from the Clinton campaign since the first debate....which probably means that whatever they still have, is worse than what Access Hollywood found.

Yeah that would be the best outcome for the Dems, Trump decides if the GOP won't support him he'll burn it all down, encourages supporters to spite establishment and media and not vote for establishment Republicans. Dems gain control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency as the GOP votes split between Trump, Johnson, and write-ins.

Not only would it be horrifying to spread something like that from her personal history into the public eye, at least without her consent, you could get blowback.

Oh sweet beautiful jesus how I hope someone asks Trump about how the RNC has responded to this at the debate tomorrow and he goes full hatefuck and takes the garbage pile down with him to whatever sewer they all belong in. I want to see him trip his poo poo about how he's going to tell all of his wretched supporters to send a message to the traitorous establishment and not vote for them and to heckle them at their rallies and public appearances. Oh what a day, what a lovely day

The writing is fully on the wall that Trump is out (poo poo go read the last 24h of Robert Costa), only question remaining is really how the GOP is going to play this out and how many house/senate seats they can salvage.
