And it could never be possible that people with imaginations could work on fabricating stories to stack on that to help create a bigger story, right? The politics have never been dirtier.
are you saying that someone went back in time to get the victims to participate in the conspiracy by getting them to tell their friends and family about trumps attack back when they happened 10 and 20 years ago?

So. Decades old Allegations against Bill Clinton that have no evidence to support them are valid. Even though when they came out originally they had just as suspicious timing issues.

But similar allegations against Trump are bogus. Let's face Donald brought this on himself by his comments and the blanket denial he never had inappropriate actions towards any women.

My God, the media is having so much fun with this guy. What a wonderful bit of entertainment in an otherwise cut and dried election.

You have to wonder, though, what will be left of Trump after this election. More reality TV shows? I have a feeling he'll quickly fade from the public eye after his November drubbing.

Why now? Because Trump denied in the last debate of ever doing any of those things he bragged about on the Access Hollywood bus when he thought no one was listening in. The moderator asked if he did all those things he said would do to women and he said he didn't. These women saw that and came forward.

Trump even tried to avoid answering the question because he knew the only politically acceptable answer would by a lie, but the moderator kept pushing until he had no choice but claim innonence in action.

If and when we ever have a great candidate, they won't stand a chance, thanks to the way the media operates these days. I know Clinton and Trump aren't shining examples of human decency, but it's getting to be a bit much. A good person will never be able to win, in the future, even if they are perfect in every way.

I don't think that's how it works at all. A decent person is a decent person. Everyone has a few skeletons, and no one is perfect, but when there's dirt under the carpet, it will be exposed.

The media blew Trump up during the primaries because he was such a laugh and guaranteed to get viewers and readers. And, to the horror of the GOP, the dumber voters in their party (i.e. the majority) chose him to represent them in the November election.

At this point, the media is taking shots at him like that big tin duck in the carnival shooting gallery. Ping! He gets knocked down and gets back up like nothing happened. Ping! Ping! Ping! It's just a lot of fun.

That's been said of American Politics for a couple centuries.

The truth is that taking shots at Trump is easier than shooting a barrel full of fish. Trump has basically slapped a "KICK ME!" sign on his back and people are obliging him. The Republicans and his handlers keep ripping the sign off his back but Donny keeps putting it right back...lol!

Yeah, I saw them interviewed today on CBS nightly news. Trump is such a douche bag.
It's very possible they are telling the truth, but I am also skeptical about it. The timing just seems too convenient.
I have no doubt that they told the truth. It's not a question of "convenient," it is just the time to come forward. Like the older one said (she's 74 and this happened around 30 years ago), her generation of women were conditioned to think it was the victim's fault when something like this happened and she kept silent. If you saw the interviews you'd believe her. That is, unless you are one of the brainwashed.
Heh, no way.

The melt down is on an epic scale, I wonder how whacked out Trump will be at that point.
I saw a brief clip from one of his rallies this week. It's far more disgusting than the shit that went down during the debate Sunday. It makes me wonder about his constituency.
I'm not a fan of Trump's character, but really???
Timing...Timing...Timing
Somebody said something and that makes it absolutely true. Sounds like a hit piece.
Dude, believe what you want... you will anyway, truth be damned.

You know, you really are a chowderhead. I saw the debate, he didn't deny that he did those things. Again and again when asked if he did those things he ignored the question, changed the subject. The obvious inference to make was that he was 100% guilty of the behavior that he was bragging about and there's not a doubt in my mind. Finally, the last time the moderator stuck it to him and asked him if he did those things, Trump replied with a one-word-lie: no. You believe that? If you do, you are an absolute fool.

It's been fifteen minutes, time for Trump to ratchet it up a few notches...

A lawsuit is being drafted now by Trump against the NYT. Very possible it could be announced tonight, though discussions ongoing.

Stock up on popcorn, possible lawsuit time!

Actually, he said, "No, I have not."

Lol, now Trump is "considering " suing the NYT.

Yeah, that'll go exactly nowhere. If Trump does sue, it opens him up to discovery, which could open the Apprentice outtakes up to being examined.

Trump's just a lot of bluster in this instance. The NYT is certainly not afraid of Trump and his lawsuit...I'm sure they have just as many lawyers as Trump, if not more, and would love to have them work for their paychecks.

Wow. The timing is just toooooo perfect. You honestly don't think these women wouldn't have made front page news during the primary? SO WTF DIDN'T THEY SAY ANYTHING UNTIL NOW!???
All these broads would've had to do was call Allred and they would've had a press conference within a hour. This stinks of a total political game of collusion....

This has too much coincidence as everything was timed for maximum damage to the Republican ticket. We'd have Jeb in there instead of Trump right now if this stuff came out 1 year ago....

It's just too bad the other idiot repubs running for president couldn't have dug this stuff up on Trump before Hillary did.

He should drop out at this point and I think there is a chance he might. He's done for and he'd probably prefer not to be humiliated with the loss in preference of just making up a reason to bow out. Otherwise he's going to have to go with an insane conspiracy that the election was rigged when he loses, and that will only fly with the nut demographic support base.

Either that or "It was all a big lark. Just wanted to see how far I could get."

The crap on the Stern show was always there, nobody tucked that away. The other campaigns failed to dig into what was a goldmine of dirt on Trump. It was gross incompetence on their part, not some vast conspiracy. The guy is an obvious shitheel.

More likely just playing their cards. Much more effective to spray this stuff all over the news in the final month before the election. But really, it's the media, not the campaigns, don't you think? They've been plotting this entire election cycle from the beginning. And it's been masterful.

No. The other republican candidates could have dug dirt on Donald. It was hidden in plain view.
