Tell me, did he say he was going to do it without consent? If he said that, please point out where. Otherwise, who cares.
What he said was he doesn't need consent. When you're a star you can do whatever you want, that's what he said. Sexual assault, yep, that's what it is. Just grab their pussy. He was being entirely serious and bragging.

But I know you still don't care, LK. "He who doubts from what he sees will never believe, do what you please." - William Blake

Let's make pussy grabbing great again.

That doesn't matter to LK he is more concerned that Trump is an "alpha" who takes what he wants when he wants it. LK might seriously see nothing wrong with this behavior just a real man being a real man and not a cuck.

In fairness to Trump, Megyn Kelly was setting things up against him from the very beginning and probably hoped the "pigs" thing (along his refusal to pledge support to the winning candidate) would kill him quick. She and the rest of FOX and the GOP created Trump as much as anyone else, I don't think she was just trying to give him practice. That's what makes Trump's rise so beautiful.
So let's say you're running for president. A famous woman, who women identify with, points out that you have a problem with support from women. You've had multiple public spats with famous females and openly mocked their physical appearances. This famous female asks how you're going to win-over women after your extremely-public comments. What do you do? Attack her publicly and alienate yourself further with women? Good answer!

I don't get why people are freaking out over this story. Trump has said and done far worse things, and I don't believe anyone is really surprised by this story. After hearing what he says in public, anyone with an IQ above 70 must have known he would say stuff like this in private.

The man is running for President of the United States. I would like to think we hold our world leaders to a higher standard. By the way, Republicans are already distancing themselves from Trump. Paul Ryan has cancelled plans to campaign with Trump this weekend.

Nothing like a little sexual assault story of a presidential candidate on a married woman. The fact that he is even on the ticket is embarrassing.

The nation already elected one of those, twice, and now the woman who stood by that predator is running.
Trump and Clinton are made for each other.

I love Trump supporters criticizing Hillary for "standing by a predator" while they stand by a predator.

The difference being: one is the wife of a (reformed?) lecher, the other is a lecher. And I'm pretty sure Bill Clinton hasn't talked about actively groping women, or how he'd date Chelsea if she wasn't his daughter. Not to excuse Bill's actions, but there is a difference.

Bill Clinton is reformed, since when?
And the point is the country already supported such a man, twice.
Only difference being it wasn't (to my knowledge) as readily in people's faces as it is today. Maybe if the internet had been back then what it is today...
The difference is people could lie to themselves about the Clintons.

The reaction from top evangelicals from the religious right, they basically stand by Trump after his comments.

Some of the country’s most prominent religious conservatives are still supporting Donald Trump even after 2005 audio published by The Washington Post and NBC News revealed him making vulgar comments about women and extramarital sex.

“I’ve listened to the tape, my view is that people of faith are voting on issues like who will protect unborn life, defend religious freedom, create jobs, and oppose the Iran nuclear deal,” Ralph Reed, the chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and a member of Trump’s religious advisory board, said in a statement. “I think a 10-year-old tape of a private conversation with a TV talk show host ranks pretty low on their hierarchy of concerns.”

Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, another Trump supporter, told BuzzFeed : "He isn't concerned with sharing "values" with the GOP nominee"

Hmm...I wonder what values Perkins IS concerned with...so odd..

The Christian Right (and some of the GOP leadership) basically sold their souls for some Supreme Court picks

I'd probably let other women with whom I've had perfectly healthy relationships (non-sexual) say a thing or two in my defence. Trump probably hasn't had many of those though, yet plenty of first-hand evidence to the contrary.

Imagine all the down-ballot repubs that have been Trumpers, they must be going nuts as well as those not supporting/claiming him. This could cost the repubs dearly.
I can't wait for SNL tonight, I hope they don't disappoint.

I don't know, I would have thought that any vaguely sensible person would have given Trump the finger after he said that Mexicans are rapists and murderers. When someone can rationalise shit like that to suit their perspective on life, I'm pretty sure they can do the same for his latest verbal diarrhoea.

So far Trump is right, he could shoot someone and these idiots would still support him.
at this point, I don't think anything will hurt Trump's core base of support.

but we're one month before election day and Trump is down in the polls... anything that's not actively helping him is hurting him.

When todays Republicans send their candidates, they're not sending their best. They're sending criminals, they're sending rapists... And, I assume, some are good people.
I'm pissed they took away the thumbs up emoticon. Oh, yea, I guess I'll press the "like" button, exactly the same thing.

The Silent Majority this election will be the 19th amendment people.

Really, it's anyone who isn't a white, straight Christian male. And even then, only Christians willing to turn a blind eye to Trump's behavior for strategic reasons.

Sen Kelly Ayotte has rescinded her endorsement of drumpf (technically she never endorsed him, but said she would vote for him, which by definition is an endorsement)
"I'm a mom and an American first, and I cannot and will not support a candidate for president who brags about degrading and assaulting women," Ayotte said in a statement.


as well as Sen. Mike Crapo from ID.
"I have reached the decision that I can no longer endorse Donald Trump," Crapo said in a statement. "This is not a decision that I have reached lightly, but his pattern of behavior has left me no choice. His repeated actions and comments toward women have been disrespectful, profane and demeaning."

And so the dominoes begin to fall.
Suck it drumpf. You built this.

This situation isn't so much about Trump as his supporters. We all know trump is human garbage, but how deep is the connection between a piece of shit and folks who back said shit? Do they identify with his "boys will be boys" antics, perhaps as another example of PC-police overreach into how they too would act if there were no consequences; or is how he treats women no big deal as long as they get something else?

Given his other big selling point is saying derogatory things about darkies he can get away with, it's not exactly a surprise they believe he (and through extension themselves) should get away with putting women in their place too.

I guess we'll see if this drops his number much. Frankly nobody would be surprise if making a speech against racism/misogyny or such would drop them more.

Appears you have trouble telling the difference between the guy at work on great terms with women at the office and the trump/ailes sorts.
