[Vanity] Why is Trump Apologizing?
10/8/2016 | Chris Volkay

Oh, the horror, the horror (no pun intended). Why this endless stupidity? Why is Trump apologizing for honest comments? hmm? Ridiculous.

The comments that I saw were that when you are a celebrity you can go up and "kiss and grope women and they let you do it." He also said "grab 'em by the p***y."

If he said this covered all women of course that would be wrong, but if he alluding to the fact that this is okay and many women would and do allow this from a big celebrity he is absolutely factually correct. Absolutely. As a matter of fact, this morning I just got through reading a biography of Elvis Presley. He did this stuff. So did Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, so did dozens of stars that I've read about over the years. Dozens-plural. Even Michael Jackson di-oh sorry, I'm wrong on that one.

That Donald would say this obvious truth may not be liked by many women and especially the liberal, politically-correct, feminist fascist zombies, but none the less, it is true of many women.

Donald when you state the truth do not apologize for it. If so many women were not in fact perfectly willing to allow all kinds of this behavior and more, it would be one thing. But you, like the good investigative reporter, have simply uncovered an obvious truth that we all know, but isn't apparently frequently said.

Never apologize for telling the truth. And you can quote me on that.

Wake up and grow up. Come out and smell the reality you tepid, silly, self-righteous, sanctimonious, self-deluded, chuckle-heads. It's simply reality.

Trump is demonstrating that he has grown--matured--in the last 11 years.

Having travelled the country holding rallies, he has talked to Americans and has come to understand the depth of our national despair.

Trump will turn this event to his advantage.

That's what deal makers do.

TRUMP was apologizing to us. No one else. A lot of people have touched him with prayer and good will and he is grateful.

TRUMP couldn’t care less about the fake concern of the anti-American forces aligned against him and the globalist pudding faces, like Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, Kelly Ayotte, John McCain, Jacob Chaffitz?

Heck of a herd there, huh?

They are, every one, UniParty hacks and pretenders.

Maybe contrast himself from the Clintons about the same matter. He won’t waste his time and integrity lying about it.

Bill is unapologetic adulterer. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

Michael Jackson groped little boys and was given a “stately” televised funeral,Bill Clinton lied about seducing an employee and was reelected and defended by the press, John Kennedy had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and had an airport named for him, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and had a slave mistress and his photo is on our currency, Lyndon Johnson used the N word and cursed like a sailor and is considered the father of the civil rights programs, numerous Hollywood and professional entertainers overdosed on illegal drugs and were mourned by the liberal press as saints. I won't even imagine what Hillary and Huma have been doing behind closed doors or what else she has said about us deplorable. Donald Trump, legendary billionaire playboy talks trash with a male friend in private 10 years ago and the press and rhinos want to hang him. From the beginning of time history is full of sinners and imperfect people. I don't like any of the above but our nation's very existence as we know it is at stake and this is the best hope to reclaim America! Regardless of what he has said or done in his private life he has demonstrated that he does want to put America first! MAGA!

The trash talk won’t hurt him. Apology is the death of Republicans.

Look Trump could defend himself. He was in private. He was playing the comedian. He was a TV personality. The language is used by comics all the time in public. Ever seen Chris Rock?

He could say that he was set up by the Washington Post and NBC who had this long time ago but in an attempt to throw the election, decided not to air it until October. Surprise! That’s not journalism, that’s propaganda for the Democrat party. That’s not democracy, That’s trying to manipulate the public.

But Trump’s comments are not what any women wants to hear. And lots of women find them vulgar. That’s why the pick up line, “Can I grab your pussy” gets you slapped. And to say that Clinton and Kennedy would have said similar things may get lots of women to conclude, that’s why we need a women in the White House.

But if Trump looks straight into the camera and apologizes and walks back his comments, he can hopefully get the press to move on to a new story. It won’t happen right away. But people will get tired of it soon enough.

And that is very important. Because, there are thousands of new emails that nobody is talking about yet. And we want to hear about those. We don’t want to hear how crude Trump can get; even if its in private, ten years ago, amongst guys. We do want to hear about Hillary defrauding the people of America.

Once a Republican apologizes the subject is set in stone and nothing else can come up for the rest of the campaign. No one will talk about anything else. Democrats never apologize except to their own constituents occasionally and then it is treated as having purged the offending Democrat of all sin. For a Republican, apology converts the dust on his jacket into a spreading, darkening, and indelible stain.
If Trump allows this to sidetrack him in the debate Mrs Bill won’t even have to cheat to win.

Wrong. Only a Republican can commit an unforgivable sin and every sin to which a Republican admits or for which he apologizes becomes unforgivable.

Did you accidentally cut and paste a comment you typed prior to Trump’s statement last night?

The statement where he showed contrition and apologized?

He does not care what his non-supporters think, he knows his supports loves his late night exploits.

Truth be told you don't have to be a celebrity with some women. And that is not to demean all women! Of course it was the sexual language that made it fodder for Trump's enemies.

he’s apologizing so he can go on the attack about how Hillery enabled rapes

By all means he should go on the attack against the beest, but he should make clear that he's not using Bill's more serious offenses against women to mitigate his own. Hillary's actions against Bubba's accusers is where his criticism should be centered.

You mean, in Trump’s statement last night where he showed contrition and apologized?

What I found most interesting is that Trump reported having tried and failed to seduce Nancy O'Dell, at the time Billy Bush's co-host on Access Hollywood. I suppose he succeeds often enough that he's not ashamed to admit the occasional failure. It ended up as praise for O'Dell for not being susceptible to male celebrity-hood.

As for apologizing, doing so was appropriate, and I thought he did a great job of it.

Trump was just doing what guys do. Most people realize that.

But this little episode has certainly surfaced the scum in the GOP!
