Antti posted:At this point Trump is so toast I wouldn't release anything like that if I were Clinton. 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. Remember, she didn't even release THIS. The media is now bloodthirsty, they will find and that everything they can for ratings. Clinton doesn't need to release any oppo any more and probably won't.

Exposure posted: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. What's shocking is that it took anyone this long to consider doing this--both the parties with a political interest and the parties with a financial one. I don't fully understand this--although I guess blasting this stuff when it's too late for the GOP to react is smart.

Pick posted:I really don't think Trump abuses his daughter, I just think he genuinely loves her but doesn't know the appropriate way to express love for a woman (or man for that matter) as opposed to mere randiness, and it ends up super skeevy. Child abusers very rarely think they are hurting children. In their minds they're loving them.

Apologies if this has been discussed here; this thread moves too fast for me to keep up with everything. But it just occurred to me to wonder if Trump has actually denied doing the stuff he talks about in that video. That video statement he released is just a halfhearted apology for what he said followed by a wholehearted attack on Hillary. So has he denied it? Would he, or his campaign people, see some reason not to?

And yeah this thing has obviously spiraled out of control--there's now the "look which GOP bigwig just pulled his endorsement" and "look what OTHER gross stuff Trump said" stories, which can go on for a long time. And now that it's cleanly crossed into "yeah he's probably raped people" territory, everything he does and says is poison. It really is over.

If this makes even a tiny % of Rs in AZ stay home, McCain is toast. He sees the writing on the wall, but I guarantee Kirkpatrick will start airing ads ASAP showing all of the various times McCain disavowed something Trump said without rescinding his endorsement, concluding with the latest incident, asking "what took you so long to see what is plain as day, John?"

Endorph posted:Clinton dropped some stuff, that led to increased attention, which led to people digging through their backlogs about a man that has been in the public eye for 40 years. Take these tapes. They were found because the guy was reminded about them because of all the Miss Universe stuff. People were wondering what politics would look like in the future where every candidate's online history is scrutinized. That's Trump, only instead of message board posts, it's videotape.

Night10194 posted: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. It's amazing to me the kind of poo poo the GOP was willing to slap their brand on for the Cheeto Rapist, but the one thing they couldn't abide was him being a clearly losing candidate. People finally pulling endorsements now. They're all loving cowards. Where were they months ago?

Maybe he just ignored the time when he literally insulted McCain's personal military record. The GOP berated McCain into supporting Trump after Trump shat on McCain. Trump's behavior isn't a disqualifier; it was personal. This gave him the excuse he needed.

All these disavowals, will they help or hurt the under ticket? On the one side, it gives the self avowed deplorable all the reasons in the world to say gently caress the establishment and either not vote because the poo poo is rigged or to only vote top of the ticket. On the other side, having lost the top of the ticket, do the non-deplorable Republicans even turn out?

With the RNC starting to pull support (anyone comment on how significant them telling vendors to stop and so on actually is?) and big-name GOP pols unendorsing it's almost inevitable to be a chain reaction that tears the party apart. I'm sure Ryan is under a ton of pressure now to disown Trump as well every other GOP politician. I think if Trump flubs the debate (he will) you'll see Pence leave and most/all the GOPe abandon him. I'm not sure if Trump's ego will allow him to step down though.

As far as I'm aware of Trump has yet to actually deny saying any of those things. And even if he wanted to- what point would there be in denying it? He said them, he was even on video in junction with the text. Not even the most brain dead of his minions can believe that. For the first time ever he has to own up to his crap, and the best he could manage was a 'Bill did worse'. He also hasn't posted anything on Twitter so either someone finally confiscated his account and left it to someone else or he is having a moment of clarity and not posting stupid poo poo to make his situation worse for once.

I'm sure Ryan is under a ton of pressure now to disown Trump as well every other GOP politician. It's interesting how, optically, this looks like a few dozen rich guys versus the entire Republican population, but obviously the kinds of people that turn out to demonstrate aren't representative--I wonder if Paul Ryan et al have calculated how many people they'd lose to a Trump war--the white identity people vs. everyone else (evangelicals/Randroids/suburbanites/rich). Obviously the former have some acolytes among all the latter group. Still, at the end of the day, Trump didn't exactly dominate the primaries. If it came down to it I can't believe it's more than, say, 30% of the voting population.
