Just saw the entire Trump / Billy Bush tape on CNN and it was an eye opener versus reading the transcript.
I admit I was worried about the impact of the transcript, and still am. But ... after watching and listening, it is 100% obvious Trump was goofing and giggling around, being silly, light-hearted and playful, and Billy Bush was giggling uncontrollably because Trump was being totally silly to entertain him.
Even the story about pursuing some married woman was pretty lightly related, but that part did sound like it's based on a real life Donald attempted and failed flirtation.
The rest of it was NOT any kind of serious statement about being able to "grope" women. He is joking about taking a tic tac in case he uncontrollably starts kissing beautiful women. That's when the laughing starts. Then it's a bunch of sophomoric playing about how "stars" can do anything they want and women allow it, including grabbing their *****. His audience is agreeing and giggling along throughout because they are being silly together.
This horseplay continues with Trump joking about how he best not fall out of the bus like the time Gerald Ford fell over.
You can criticize him for playing around and joking in a crass way, but it was all silly boys' talk. This was not even remotely a serious comment about kissing women without permission or anything like it. The whole thing was a joke and I defy anyone listening to it to say otherwise.
Yes it does matter, most of us with a sense of humor have entertained men and women alike by being completely and outrageously silly, and that's what this was.
Go the opposite direction.
Confirm the video.
Get everybody to join in.
Hillary’s base will view her as an old biddy if her campaign chastises Trump’s behavior.
Even Obama told Putin he really likes to be able to do anything he wants, whereas Trump is ridiculing the notion even every opportunity is given him.
Paint the Clintons for the opportunists and cold hearted elitists they really espouse.

I rarely turn on FOX anymore and 5 minutes of their pearl clutching was more than enough to realize my mistake. As if Parker hasn’t bragged more than Trump. Honestly, this whole thing is beyond ridiculous.
BILLY BUSH’S RECORDING PEOPLE ... BUSH’S FAULT.
Yes, much ado about nothing.
If Hillary attempts to make this an issue, then Trump should resurrect Hillary’s calling people “f*cking Jew b*st*rds. Not only does this outburst by Hillary confirm her foul mouth but also confirms that Hillary is anti-semetic.
I didn’t know any of that, thanks for the cute details!
We can love our men for who they are TODAY, not who we wish them to be in the future. That does not make us dumbasses...
That makes us smarter (and happier) than most.
This whole thing seems pretty inane. It will die down in a few days. Its going to be used tomorrow night at the debate though. Trump needs to deflect by saying that compared to Clinton’s husband’s antics and her complicity he looks like a choir boy and then move on.
I have to agree. I was waiting for this to be some raunchy laugh fest between guys. Other than the language used I thought Trump was laughing at himself and his failure to persuade a woman to be with him. He was not in any way promoting the “groping” of women. It was a calm conversation between men. The guy has been on Howard Stern, runs a beauty pageant and marries beautiful women..I’m supposed to be shocked by this?
You could not be any more correct if you tried. And she loves it, the same way he does. Because they are both HUMAN.
F***ken Geraldo on FOX now!
Saying TRUMP right now is on LIFE SUPPORT!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BS!!!
So what he loses 3 points but still wins in a LANDSLIDE!
Right. 
The bottom line here though, is if his conquests shared were true, then it was between consensual adults until otherwise claimed not to be. Those who find that kind of behavior offensive, should be critical of both parties, not just Trump. For it takes to to Tango as the saying goes.
These kinds of matters I leave to the Lord to pass judgement on. In the meantime I just smile and say boys and men will be that, and it is all perfectly normal. That is why God made the two sexes, and made the drive a strong one, to multiply the species of all living creatures on earth. Not just mankind.
Dare you to post that on Fox FAcebook page. Or tweet it to them.
Done.
You will like this one. Put in bill’s bimbos into you tube.
