No, there cannot be more than this. Any more than this will make me totally numb to any political gaffes in the future. I will never derive any pleasure from politics again, living out the rest of my life as a lifeless husk that only remembers the glory days of "grab them by the pussy".

Please Trump, for all of our sake's, drop out.

At this point he'd have to be talking about abortions being great to lose that base. Or be a double secret Muslim like they think Obama is.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: What do you both plan to do about police violence in this country?

COOP: Secretary Clinton, two minutes.

CLINTON: First of all, DID YA'LL SEE THAT VIDEO OF TRUMP THAT GOT RELEASED A FEW DAYS AGO OH MY GOD. Second, I would like to thank Anderson Cooper for moderating this debate...

I'm pretty sure she would link that to the central park five. "First of all we have to make sure that, despite what Donald may claim, the police are not the ones who judge if someone is guilty. Wrongful accusations happen. but doubling down on them leads to a social divide and hatred.

Devil's advocate here -- is it really consensual when the power dynamics are such that it's the president of the country and a intern?
Nobody thinks that what Clinton did was okay, and everyone here is very aware of questions of consent when it comes to that kind of power dynamic. But something that is worth considering, not as a defense of Clinton but on Lewinski's side: Lewinski has said that she feels it was consensual, and that she made the decision. I think it's important not to take her agency away, power dynamics or not. Lewinski obviously wants to lay claim to some level of responsibility for - and therefore control over - the situation, and she has the right to do so. She doesn't feel like she was helpless or victimized, and I don't think we should push that onto her if she doesn't want it.

Nah, not that. His progeny aborted? Never.

But I'm willing to bet it happened several times by his orders to models in the agency he ran. That'd be a fun zinger to watch him deal with.

Considering the whole Marla Maples/Tiffany thing, I can definitely imagine there's something out there.

I wonder if Tiffany has a pile of tapes from conversations with Donald where he bemoans her existence and badmouths her mom and she's using them to make sure she's still in the will.

Since it's getting kind of hard to ignore that Trump is a huge piece of poo poo even for the most idiotic, the Dems really need to start focusing on the downticket and tying everyone who's ever said something less than "that guy is an rear end in a top hat and I hate him" on the R side to this insanity. And go especially hard at anyone who has actually endorsed him.

This is literally the only thing that could cause him to lose place among the Evangelicals. An idiot friend of mine on Facebook is still defending Trump because "he's the only pro-life candidate and Hillary is evil."

Although they'd still find some way to think it's okay. The only moral abortion is Donald Trump's abortion. :jerkbag:

Trump could recover pretty easily by simply not having a disasterous performance on sunday, because expectations are so impossibly low right now. Like, if he just kept repeating the same three soundbites over and over and didn't dive for the world's most obvious bait the moment it showed up, we'd be back in the horserace by tuesday. But he will have a disasterous performance in the debate. It will be historically bad. Conway and Bannon's best realistic hopes for the debate are that Trump refrains from saying something about how "Women don't like to admit it, but they like being treated that way"

While I think the general expectations for the debate are that Trump will do terribly and Hillary will do about as well as in the first debate, I think the video changes things. The narrative has changed and who 'wins' the debate or if anyone performs worse/better than expected is now only secondary. Now, the spotlight is going to be on the humanization of Trump, on if he can lower even the thinnest of straws of empathy for the shakier parts of his remaining base and Republicans in Congress to grasp at. He already flubbed the official apology (twice) and the timing of everything has made the debate a focal point. To carry the narrative analogy a bit further, this is the point in the story where, for his supporters, their hero has at last truly erred and this debate is the climatic moment where, after much struggling and hardship, the hero redeems himself and comes away as a better, stronger person for the finale.

The bar isn't low at all for Trump because the narrative has shifted from "Who will win the debate?!" to "Can Trump redeem himself?" and this is the breaking point. Somewhat ironically, I think the only possible way for this to go well for Trump is for the topic of the tape or something related to it to come up and for him to give an impassioned, utterly, sincerely human apology as a response because that is what the narrative demands of its protagonist. Instead, I think the topic will either be avoided entirely, thus locking Trump out of a chance for redemption, or, more likely, it will come up and Trump will utterly fail at making any sort of humanizing apology for his third and final strike. I don't see any chance of Trump turning himself into a remotely empathetic figure in this debate so he will instead break away from any sort of heroic narrative and the floodgates will open wide as all but the most horrible, delusional, and uncaring of his supporters at last snap out of their collective trance and run away from him.

I think this really is it at last. This is the point where his supporters have run out of excuses to defend him with so all they have left is to pin their hopes on the debate highlighting the redemption and rise of their hero and instead the illusion will be shattered, and shattered hard, as a monster is unveiled. Anyone left after this point will either be so absorbed in the ridiculous team mentality that they really would vote Republican no matter whose name was on the ballot, so horrible (you might even say 'deplorable') that they absolutely deserve to be dragged down with Trump, or so delusional that they either truly believe every conspiracy theory about Hillary or truly believe that Trump will deliver on his promises regarding whatever single issue they have decided to unyieldingly latch themselves to.

Oh, probably, but that won't hurt Trump. Pussygate is damning for Trump because it will keep white women from voting Republican.

The worst thing I can think of is a tape coming out where Trump just eviscerates his base as a bunch of country hicks who are a bunch of pussies that cry about losing their jobs because they are worthless, and that he is glad that he replaced all those poor whites with immigrant workers because they are clearly better employees. Something like that.
