The fact that Donald Trump said in 2005 that he could grab women “by the pussy” because he’s famous doesn’t seem to be changing how social conservative leaders feel about him.
Evangelicals who opposed him before still aren’t fans. And the ones in his camp aren’t phased by the recording. That’s because this isn’t about how much they like the brash billionaire; it’s about how unflinching they are in their opposition to Hillary Clinton.
“People of faith are voting on issues like who will protect unborn life, defund Planned Parenthood, defend religious liberty and oppose the Iran nuclear deal,” said Ralph Reed, who heads the Faith & Freedom Coalition. “A ten-year-old tape of a private conversation with a talk show host ranks low on their hierarchy of concerns.”

We must make our face like flint towards the evil Jezebel witch HRC. Nothing will dissuade me. This domestic enemy must be destroyed.
Lewd comments??? Give me a break from this nauseating political correctness.
Paul Ryan can go to hell. I like these Evangelical leaders. This is a big nothing burger because he used the P word in private. Whoop de doo.
I dont expect to lose a SINGLE conservative vote over this.
But he MUST address it concisely and sincerely at the debate because independents decide elections. Independent women, especially, lately.
A heartfelt apology goes a LONG WAY with women, as the men here know.
Evangelicals moved beyond swearing, smoking, drinking, and gambling as the only “real” sins decades ago.
This isn't about feelings, it's about VOTING. All conservatives realize what's at stake in this election, and Trump making some ribald comments before he was married is ridiculously insignificant by comparison.
Gross.
Still voting for him.
People are stunned a man actually talked like a man in a private conversation.
exactly.
These stupid independent women are hypocrites, mostly white, college educated snobs. Sorry, but I work around a bunch of them. I worked blue collar jobs while going through college and the most down to earth, keeping it real types are blue collar men and women of all races. Once you ascend into white collar America is when you are confronted with egotistical white liberals who are as racist and close minded as anybody in this country can be.
I believe Trump’s apology is sufficient, and he should drop, ignore any attempts to perpetuate the topic.
I also believe Sean Hannity ought to shut up about it, and go on with the program as he’s just stirring up the brew by dwelling on the matter.
No sh!t
The American people proved decades ago this sort of thing doesn’t bother them. It might even attract some more Dem voters.
The hypocrisy of the left is never surprising
This is “good” news I suppose. Doesn’t help with the independents/undecideds
Hillary is on tape snickering and laughing about how she successfully defended a man she knew was guilty of raping a child. The MSM refuses to play it.
Trump should now run ads with it in all battleground states. If the bastards want to play dirty, then let them swig down their own medicine.
YES, I agree.
But how they really are and how they vote are two different things.
If a sincere apology will get these morons to vote for Trump, it’s worth it.
I COULDNT BELIEVE how racist my bosses were against blacks, my liberal bosses!!!
But I BELIEVE they vote dem almost every time.
We have to deal with the reality of what is and not what we want it to be.
Astute assessment by the way.
Blue collar friend my whole life, only white collar in the bunch. MUCH BETTER people and accepting
