http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/don ... 55eab4148dIts strange that most of the headlines talk about "lewd remarks". To me he unequivocally says he likes to sexually assualt women. They ought to call it what it is! Telling someone you grope women and can get away with it because of who you are is pretty much a straight up admission of sexual assault.

Greetings, Agreed, Laurens. I was also struck by the media, and politicians, focus on his remarks, rather than the implications of them. If he's actually doing that without the woman's consent... US election media review - Is Donald Trump's campaign over?Kindest regards, James

I don't see how Trump can come back from this one. Looks like Hillary will be our next President, for better or worse.

Oh, I am not sure why anyone is surprised by this (either Trump's behavior or the media's handling of it). It was known since Trump started his bid for the White House that one of his ex-wives accused him of raping her. The divorce was granted on the grounds of “cruel and inhuman treatment” by Trump. The media (to make money) has to turn any election into a horse race. Instead of reporting news, they will report rumors and polls as if they are news. This election has exposed just how much two of our four branches of government have become. I expect this from the Executive Branch, but the Media becoming so terrible is heartbreaking.

I'm not at all shocked by this. However it scares the hell out of me. This could very well lead to Trump either quitting or being ousted. In his place the uber religious nut case Pence takes his place and all the fundies who couldn't unite behind any of the candidates in the primary go vote for him. President Pence scares me as bad or worse than President Trump.

I think he's probably an atheist.

He also supports killing unborn children, which is something virtually every Atheist fights for. Right? Bragging about trying to commit adultery with other women is just the icing on the cake.

Had you read the Christian bible you'd have known Yahweh condones every kind of murder, children included. Atheism deals with only one thing, belief in gods.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

But you also support it too, depending on who is doing the "unborn-children" killing, and you're not an atheist.

Anyone who didn't think this was the kind of person Trump was, raise your hands.

Indeed, although they've been the most widely and consistently egregious hypocrites in my lifetime, so not a surprise.

Heh. Notice how every time one of those characters utters that phrase, they are fundamentally disproven? Quite the indictment of received wisdom, that.

Greetings,
One of the things I've thinking since is that a President Trump could be America's President Yeltsin - remember the video where a drunk Yeltsin groped a woman at a conference/meeting?
Rather ironic, given Trump's praise for Russia's current president.
Kindest regards,
James

Bragging about trying to commit adultery with other women is just the icing on the cake. Next, if you really care about stopping abortion and aren't simply playing lip service to the Republican platform then you should vote Democrat. The only way to stop abortion is to prevent the need (as much as possible) for there to ever be an abortion. This would include comprehensive sex-education, the availability of contraception to everyone that wants it, plans to reduce poverty, etc. Simply making it illegal does nothing to alleviate the cause as to why people seek out abortions in the first place. All it does is make people seek illegal abortions. You must remove the cause of the problem in order to get rid of the problem. Then (ideally) you only would have abortions in the case of medical necessity or in case of rape/incest type situations.
Scientists don't believe. They conclude based on evidence.
