It's not going to be the "n-word". It's either going to be something even more rapey, or him saying something anti-semetic. I lean towards the latter because not only does it seem like him, it also would blow apart yet another group the GOP wants to have in the coalition and would freak out offending.

I'm thinking, like most people here, it's probably child sexual abuse of his own children. All those statements about Ivanka... :smith:

Of course this all got brought up during Bill's campaign and presidency, and eventually dropped.

Why would she waste two characters out of the Twitter 140-character limit to identify Bill Clinton as "Rapist" and just not use quotes? If he raped you, then he raped you not "raped" you.

"I assume that publication of this recording was okayed by the Clinton campaign. And if not, the public will assume so anyway. That opens the door for Trump to attack in a proportionate way. No more mister-nice-guy. Gloves are off. Nothing is out of bounds. It is fair to assume that Bill and Hillary are about to experience the worst weeks of their lives. "

Bill Clinton testified about getting head in the Oval Office in front of Congress. Spoilers: He stayed in office, and they kept their marriage together. There is nothing you can say that will even get -close- to a 'worst week' for the Clintons, Herr Dogbert.

Some of those Stern Trump quotes are pretty bad. All the creeping around peeking in dressing rooms and making sure his events are full of hot instead of smart women is especially bad after the tape. I know that's Stern's shtick but still ugh.

The problem I have with CNN running those quotes is that they're not just focusing on the ones where he's discussing his own disgusting behavior, and are also including stuff that's just salacious. It runs too much towards the angle that the controversy is over the lewdness and vulgarity, and not the fact that Trump's talking about abusive behavior towards women.

Not only that, but this would be an exceptionally bad line of attack given his comments about the Central Park 5. That didn't get a lot of airtime, and him pushing on this should be easily counterpunched with that.

I don't see how Pence jumping ship helps anyone least of all him.

He was already a politician almost at the end of his career before Trump ended up with him. He looked briefly okay nationally but only next to Trump's buffoonery. He has no future in national politics if he becomes despised by the deplorables for abandoning Trump.

How does it help the GOP to essentially drop their candidate? Like they think they can just go "never mind no presidential candidate this year folks, but about those other races.." and it won't depress the hell out of turnout? I get them pulling the money but don't they have to pretend Trump is a serious candidate no matter what?

It depends heavily on which metrics you consider important. In the UK for example we have the most cost-effective system, whilst other places might have lower waiting times or better specialist cardiac care or something. Overall I am given to understand the French are considered to have the best system, but even badly run ones are better than the malicious, evil system America has. (Bears mentioning that as flawed as Obamacare is, it has made things a lot better for a lot of people, my fiancée included.)

This, what she needs to be prepared for is the allegations of intimidation and/or incentivizing a rape victim to stay silent, things she was actually implicated in. Some way that doesn't force her to call an alleged rape victim a liar. But maybe this is a fight Trump doesn't want to pick.
