Trump isn't going to just vanish after the election. Hell stick around until he dies possibly running again in 4 years.

Imagine Johnson getting enough votes to get the libertarians federal funding and Trump running on that ticket.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

"Why did a media company wait to release something until it would be most impactful/garner the most eyeballs?" is not a good question. It's an easily answerable question if you think about it for more than five minutes.

Cruz is just pissy cause if it had been brought up earlier it could've ruined Trump during the primaries.

Likewise. I'm guessing she'll flat out say that statements like that about sexual assault aren't acceptable without directly tying the remarks to Trump. Hillary strikes me as too much of a feminist to take the completely safe stance (while still playing it cool).

To show how much of a wreck the Republican Party is? To show they don't trim their own fat? To expose just how awful Republican voters could be? To slam dunk Trump in a way that kicks Republican voters in line to be less Tea Party-ish?

History shows, again and again, how nature points out the folly of man.

Pity poor Senator Cruz. Even after Trump accused his dad of working with Lee Harvey Oswald, called his wife ugly, said a Hispanic judge was not fit to try his case, and argued with the family of a fallen soldier, I guess he didn't have enough information to know whether or not it was okay to endorse. Really, Cruz is the victim here.

Would it have, though? Trump has the same support now that he did in the primaries, and I'm not sure they're shaken by this.

Cruz is just pissy cause if it had been brought up earlier it could've ruined Trump during the primaries.

Further, if Cruz ran a good campaign, some easily loving researched material would have turned up mountains of this poo poo.

This is great to watch and all but Republicans both did this to themselves and also owe the entire country a great big loving apology for embarrassing us on the world stage like this. gently caress.

It probably wouldn't have, but considering Cruz's current circumstances, you could see how he'd be looking back and thinking, "Oh what could've been."

Trump would still have won his supporters and Republicans view the liberal media with disgust so any attacks on Trump reinforce their ideological belief that the media is a liberal source designed to destroy the Republican party.

I doubt it - I don't buy the theory that all the previous poo poo that's been dumped on Trump just "wasn't white enough" to hurt him, and that's why this one does. It's all about timing. I don't think this story, released when Cruz still had a shot, would have hurt Trump. There's a ton of visibility now, people can't just look away for a week and pretend it didn't happen til it goes away.

Trump still doesn't have a protective pool. Clinton set hers up a few weeks ago. The President has one (you know, to be there if something important happens) and the nominees usually start one in August.
