This one is going to be tough. He said some pretty horrific things about forcing himself on married women.
As far as him possibly releasing it himself? Only if he really wanted to throw his chances out the window. He did not need this. Damage control will be difficult. Especially since his very own people are biblically saying they are, “appalled”.
Agreed. This really sucks.

Not voting for a saint for pastor. I’m voting for a human grenade to take out the establishment.
Give me a break. Guys say stupid bragadocius stuff. It’s in their DNA. I suspect it will get him votes.
Let's be accurate. He did not try to force himself on a married woman. He tried heavily to convince her to go to bed with him.
Very much unlike a former Arkansas official we all know and hate...
I would still crawl on broken glass to vote for him but this might turn off some women voters and suppress turnout. It might also scare away some low information people or even some democrats that were planning to cross over. I was always afraid something like this would be lurking from his past due to his very public life.
It was 11 years ago and the stuff that BJ Bill Jefferson Clinton did was far worse and he’s still highly regarded.
I’ll still vote for him (the alternative remains unthinkable), but this is bad. It will certainly come up at the debate. I wouldn’t be surprised if Martha Ratsass reads his words verbatim for shock value.
Freakin bush family!!! I guess the Supreme Court means diddly squat....I’m literally spitting nails! I am so sick sick to my stomach of all these people! If we don’t get up and do something right now against all these freaking people we have lost our country! kiss this country goodbye in 30+ days!
This certainly will hurt big time and any denial is spin or a denial of reality.
I am a very prim and proper 72 yr old woman, of fine breeding. If you think we women do not know that men talk like that in the locker room, and in all guy groups, you are very naive.
We have known boys to talk like this since we were teens, and mostly it is to show off to each other - like gorillas smacking their chests, to show that they are “manly”
I think it is a ridiculous news story, and damages only the newsies and networks that are in all out “clutching pearls mode before they take to their fainting couches”.
And, in the meantime, who has actually done the raping? Not just engaged in guy yakking.
Of course, you, dear snark, have never engaged in such banter?
Not really. Not for anyone who desires that our country survives. Only democrats and hypocrites will fail to vote for Trump.
I read the story, and it really sounds bad. Then, I watched the video, and felt completely different. The talk was just among men being bragadousious, and really in a sane world would be a nothing burger.
Unfortunately, we no longer live in a sane world. Clinton and her MSM allies will use this to great effect.
Okay troll.
Pretty bad, esp married women.
Being female, I have found that the great great majority of men think these things. Just the way they are! Who is more surprised here - men or women?
However, it is disappointing. And I am sure Trump is quite embarrassed. Wonder what he will say.
BTW, did u just see Lou Dobbs? He cut interview short with Howard Kurtz because Dobbs asked question about the newly released emails, and Kurtz brings up the “vulgar Trump tapes” LOL
He should have just raped someone instead of voicing leud remarks.
That seems to be ok.
“This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”
If Hillary wants to talk about the topic more Mr. Trump can repeat what Bill Clinton had to say on the golf course.
As for Billy Bush, he should be ashamed of himself.
Aggressively persuing is not “forcing himself on” anyone. He explicitly said nothing happened between him and the woman in question. We have enough distortions coming out of the media not to need more on FR.
This happened years before he thought about running for office, so, unlike career politicians, he wasn’t covering everything up.
I'm not condoning this behavior, but you have to admit there's a difference between an obnoxious but at least somewhat "all in good fun" come-on that the woman says "no" to and he backs off and just brags and exaggerates about it to the guys later — versus a violent rape in which the woman's lip is bitten to force her to submit on a bed with the rapist on top of her—then he leaves and says, "You better put some ice on that." Then his wife threatens her. There's a difference.
That said, one of them has identified our $20 TRILLION DEBT and overwhelming immigration and has proposed numerous solutions, while the other one's rape-enabling wife just wants more of the same. So, still no contest. Trump 2016.
I thought he said he was turned down by the married woman?
