Trump Wouldn’t Win Election Today Because of Sexual Misconduct Allegations, Democrat Says
Newsweek ^ | November 19, 2017 | Jason Le Miere

Donald Trump would not win the presidential election if it were held today because of the numerous sexual allegations against him and the “Me Too” movement that has swept the country in recent weeks, Democratic Congresswoman Jackie Speier said Sunday.

More than a dozen women came forward during last year’s presidential campaign to accuse Trump of sexual assault or harassment. He was also caught on an infamous “Access Hollywood” recording bragging about sexually assaulting women. Yet, just weeks later, he was elected president following a victory over Hillary Clinton. However, in the wake of a wave of women coming forward across almost every industry with accusations of sexual misconduct, Speier said that the result would now be different.

“If the president was running today, I bet he would not be elected because I think we have had a huge cultural shift that is 40 years in the making,” the California representative CBS’ Face the Nation. “But I think all of us are grateful now that there is a new day for women in the workplace where they do not have to put up with sexual advances that are unwanted, that they do not have to live and work in a hostile environment and that’s going to be good for all of us in the workplace.”(continued)

I told my wife today there's something to all these lefties being accused and the whole harassment thing being front page news. Also, a few in the MSM saying they were too easy on Bill Clinton. Huh? Why now? I think they are willing to sacrifice their own to shake the conscience of the nation and then come around and accuse Trump with ten more bimbos, appropriately timed of course.

Also, I think they somehow they think it's going to help with the woman vote? When they're all dems? How they're going to spin it in 2018 is anyone's guess as 80-90% or more of this behavior belongs with the dems, hollywood, celebs, you know, the Godless people.

The left is getting crazier and crazier. They’re eating their own much like the French revolution and the Bolsheviks did during the red terror. This isn’t a planned attack on Trump. In fact, they’re trying to put the breaks on it after it Franklin, but so far I don’t think it’s working.

It’s not a political strategy. It’s a leftwing holier than thou spiral they kicked off by not accepting the election results. Everyones trying to be more left wing than everyone else all the time, which is pushing them into insane actions. People like Pelosi have been trying to put the breaks on it for months, but no one is listening.

Oh...Those sad sack Democrats, I could have, I should have, but, you didn’t!!! That says it all. In fact, if it were not for Democrat massive voting fraud, POTUS, Donald J. Trump would have carried and won, New Hampshire, Nevada, Minnesota, Colorado, and a few more states to boot, turning his landslide victory into a full blown political slaughter!!!

Oh...by the way.....Democrats that are sex abusers:

- John Conyers - Congressman
- Bill Clinton - POTUS
- Anthony Weiner - Congressman
- Al Franken - Senator
- Charlie Rose - PBS Democrat Host
- Joe Biden - Vice POTUS
- Bob Menendez - Senator
- Glenn Thrush - Democrat WH Correspondent, NY Times
- Stephen Bittle _ Florida, Democrat Leader

Now....folks....ain’t that just peachy? To be continued.....

Here’s what he actually said.

You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

”they let you do it” sounds like consent.

Trump Wouldn’t Win Election Today Because of Sexual Misconduct Allegations, Democrat Says

Leave it to the ignorant, childish, snowflake Dims to continue to rely on hypotheticals as if they were historical facts.

It must be frustrating for the political children to rely on nursery rhymes and coulda, woulda, shouldas that the intended adults were planning to have guide them, until Trump came along and made all of their "transformative" plans fade into irrelevance.

Stopped reading at the headline word: “allegations”

Guilt by accusation is still not a thing here. It’s not working in Alabama, and wouldn’t with Trump. Need credible proof still.

Politics doesn’t work in a vacuum either. True, you’ve got a sexual predator witch hunt going on now...but you also have millions of NeverTrumpers now actually understanding that Trump governs as a conservative, not a George Bush or Jeff Flake ‘conservative’, but as a REAGAN CONSERVATIVE. Once people understood that about Reagan, he won re-election by something like 20 points.

Remember....They didn’t run Hillary in 2004 because there were still too many people who remembered “I did not have sexual relations with that woman....Monica Lewinsky”.

Speier claims she named her assaulter, but I can't find the name ANYWHERE.

My understanding is that Trump said something like "Rich and powerful men [like Harvy Weinstein]([my comment]) can do such and such.." not that "I did such and such". .

Am I in error here?

The left is getting crazier. I think a lot of it is they are in panic mode as their usual game plan isn’t working. Let’s hope they’re in a death spiral. If only our youth realized it.

Good to know the narrative they’re using. They’ll go this route in midterms then heavy on it in ‘20. Won’t work, though, because, unlike before, we have a Republican President who fights back.
