If you've listened to any mainstream news channel or have logged onto the Internet in the past few days, then you've likely heard the latest media blowup involving Donald Trump and the "heart-stopping" words he spoke 11 years ago.
On Friday, a recording of Trump from an interview with Billy Bush in 2005 was conveniently leaked only days before the second presidential debate, which showed him using lewd language and speaking freely about persuading attractive women.
All of the media pundits and politicians from both parties were on deck immediately afterwards to either shield themselves from perceived negative blowback, or to jump on the bandwagon of admonishing Donald Trump for daring to talk like a common guy bantering with his drinking buddies on a Friday night.
The more extreme left-wing personalities demanded that Donald Trump drop out of the presidential race, while the cowardly Republicans issued statements criticizing him for his bad behavior. Although I suspect the criticism wasn't because they were actually offended, but rather out of a desire to follow the media narrative and protect their own coveted political positions.
Despite being assaulted from all angles, Trump has remained steadfast and announced there was "zero chance" of him withdrawing from the race.
So how will this "locker room talk" impact Donald Trump's chances of being elected president? If Trump and his campaign play their cards right, it could end up having little negative impact or actually increasing his appeal among a certain group of voters. If this were any other election year, with any other candidate besides Trump, I would say their campaign is finished, but remember that Trump is not a career politician. He's a business who has never held public office and who has never been exposed to this level of political scrutiny.
Recall earlier this year that Hillary Clinton's campaign staff were attempting to portray her as more "human" and approachable, as the public widely viewed her as a stiff, rigid politician who is disconnected from the average American. This begs the question, if you have to create a coordinated marketing campaign to make someone appear more "human" and likable, should that person really be responsible for an entire nation?
Donald Trump's faults are also one of his biggest strengths. His ability to show the public that he is just like the average American who has made mistakes and said things they wish they hadn't. He admits he's not a practiced politician and readily makes blunt statements about the problems facing our nation. Statements, that many blue-collar and middle-class voters have been thinking to themselves for many years, but never had a public figure to give them such a load voice.
Most of the pundits and politicians really aren't "offended" by Trump's words, since the vast majority of them have said far worse things in private, and the people that are legitimately shocked must have lived their entire lives in a liberal bubble or safe space.
If you're going to lose sleep over a few crude statements about women from Donald Trump, then you're probably leading a very sheltered life and should try mingling with average, hard working Americans in a recreational setting.
Donald Trump can actually benefit from this released recording by showing American's that he is human just like the rest of us, talks just like many men do in private with their friends and he has the ability to stand strong in the face of intense criticism. Although elite media pundits and politicians can't seem to relate to Trump, there are millions of factory workers, farmers and manual laborers all over the country who absolutely understand what he stands for.
Election experts often refer to the "who would voters rather have a beer with" test, implying that if a voter could see themselves having a relaxed conversation with a candidate then they are more likely to vote for that person. I can't possibly imagine any average working class American thinking they would have a good time with Hillary Clinton, however, Donald Trump would be a blast to have a beer with.
The real test as to whether Trump can turn this situation to his advantage will come up at tonight's debate, when it's guaranteed that both Hillary and the moderators will drill him endlessly on his "locker room talk".
Rather than wait for this to happen, Trump should use his opening argument time to make a statement similar to the following:
What I said over 11 years ago was released with perfect political timing to disrupt the debate tonight on important policy issues that affect all Americans. I do not want to see that happen, so instead I'm going to address this distraction so that we can get back to the issues that are facing this nation.If Trump can diffuse the situation at the debate before Clinton or the moderators are given a chance to sideline real policy issues, then he has a chance to actually benefit from this entire media circus.I speak blue collar language and I tell blue collar jokes. I hire good people fast and fire bad people faster. I tear down the old and the obsolete, and rebuild with the new and the modern. My success creates jobs and I do it faster, cheaper and better. I cuss, I swear and I sweat just like anyone else. Do you want to help re-build America better than ever before? Then I am your guy.
Stay with me and let's get to work after November 8th to Make America Great Again!
You'll hear much worse that what Donald Trump said in any HBO series, rap song or romance novel, but this media assault isn't about being offended. It's about preserving the political power structure and status quo by electing a career politician who will gladly keep the corporate money train rolling at the expense of the tax payers...and that politician is Hillary Clinton.
Or just plain ask it of the bull dyke.
Second HE NEEDS TO LIST ALL THE THINGS THE PRESS LET DEMOCRATS GET AWAY WITH from Kennedy killing the intern up to Bill Clinton's rapes and orgy island...
THEN TRUMP NEEDS TO SAY SOME OF THE DEMOCRAT sleaze stayed with him even after he became Republican and SAW THE LIGHT.For that he apologizes.
Then Trump should offer an invitation to Hillary and the elite liberal mods to join the Republican Party and wash away their crooked world view.
Yer welcome, it’s easy to get uptight and forget to enjoy a little chuckle now & then.
What a moronic country we live in, starting with the GOPE.
Cowardly does not begin to describe these limp-D!@k craven sell-outs. And it wasn't to protect their political positions. They are hyenas, jackals and vultures trying to strip a bit more rotten flesh off the rotting carcass of the American republic.
And you think Trump used some foul language. That was nothing compared to my language when I discovered that these traitors were attempting to backstab all of us right out in front of god and everybody. Talk about a hold-my-stirred-not-shaken-martini [just because they are country club republicans does not mean they are not tasteless crass country bumpkins] and watch this move. .
I hope President Trump is going to call some of these [I won’t call them what they deserve to be called here]-ers and tell them, in the oval office, just exactly what kind of [fill-in-the-blank]-ers these low-life [fill-in-the-blank]ers are. And not need to insult women or cute animals either.
Easy does it with the Democrat bashing. Trump can’t win without Trump Democrats on his side.
Let’s face it. Enough is enough!
First of all, he has racist supporters.
His mentor was a former KKK grand-wizard. When he passed, Trump honored him with a filmed tribute.
Another one of his mentors was a famous eugenicist who sought to rid the world of any nationality that isn’t white. He even received an award in that mentor’s honor, proclaiming that he admired their “vision.”
His multiple ties to the witch hunt to dispel President Obama’s American heritage. Multiple ties.
The fact that he appropriated the spending of $20,000 for access to a white-only golf course.
When speaking to a crowd of black people, he started mocking their accents.
He told a Black Lives Matter supporter that he would “talk only to white people.”
Donald Trump has likened people of urban culture to dogs.
He calls women that have upset his personal relationships “trailer trash.”
Up until three years ago, he was anti-gay and strongly opposed gay marriage.
Extending upon being anti-gay, he has also accepted campaign contributions from donors that strongly oppose the LGBT community.
His closest aide strongly opposed female equality up until recently.
In 2010, Haiti had an earthquake. Donald Trump went down there and promptly steered all of the reconstruction bids to his businesses friends. Those friends then under-delivered, pocketed the difference, and left Haiti further in debt.
During the recent primary race, it was revealed that sources behind Donald Trump conspired to improperly ensure his party nomination.
Donald Trump is willing to wage a war against Russia based on speculation.
He has laughed about the war killings of foreign dignitaries.
Trump joked about using government resources to murder someone who doesn’t favor him.
During a speech to businessmen and businesswomen, Trump proclaimed, “I’m kind of far removed from the struggles of the middle class.”
Multiple women claim that he’s tried to silence them when they were assaulted, raped, and abused.
He also helped the rapist of a 12 year old girl get out of jail on reduced sentencing, later laughing about it during a recorded interview.
He ignores the fact that people extremely close to him have made frequent visits to a place known as ‘Orgy Island,’ owned by a convicted pedophile.
Donald Trump categorically lied to the FBI.
Donald Trump compromised national security by revealing government secrets to his Wall St. friends, who paid him for them.
He also instigated the suicide of one of his closest aides.
People have died because of Donald Trump’s professional incompetence.
Just kidding. This was all HILLARY CLINTON!!!!! Trump 2016.
Hillary should be constantly flamed as a rapist and pedophile enabler, murderer and traitor with the murders in Benghazi, her lies to the families of the murdered, her admission to being a liar in the latest leaked emails and all the other times she has openly lied.
However Hillary responses, repeatedly remind the audience that Hillary is a liar and a traitor who cannot be trusted.
And Trump needs to rip into the moderators for their past coverups and pushing the leftist agenda.
Trump should do it all in a level voice. Let Hillary start to shrill away. It will used up her meds faster and she may vaporlock during the debate. Trump shouldn't interrupt unless it's his time to speak. Trump should tell Hillary to be quiet if she interrupts him. All in a level voice.
The two leftist skanks will ask trick or irrelevant questions. Trump should point those out and then ask his own meaningful question and answer it.
If the moderators whine Trump is not answering their (loaded) questions, Trump shouold respond that he is also not going to change their diapers... or whatever.
Could Comey maybe pull an arrest of Trump for some bogus rape charge? If it was desired to do that, they have any number of judges that would sign off on it.
I think the ‘basket of losers’ will stay with us... They’ve got Hillary’s number.

What I would do, is go right after Anderson Poofter and start in with him mocking Dingus day in Buffalo, NY, then go after him about him not being a real man, but a filthy sodomite.
I would go after Rad-ditz for being a stupid broad, who has sucked her way to where she is. For being nothing but a stupid liberal c**t.
Show them ZERO respect, and redirect it to open contempt to outright hatred of them and be offended at their very existence. Treat them as though they are beneath the working public.
Treat hILLary with outright hatred and point out how stupid she really is. How everything she’s ever touched has turned to s#!t. How she has had men doing her work for her beginning with the Cattle futures to the sloppy work she did at the Rose Law Firm to her failure on HillaryCare, as first lady, and her complete failure as a parent. Point out that Chelsea Clinton is an incompetent nitwit compared to Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany. SHe had to be given a no-show job, and if she ever did show up, her work product was a joke.
Just keep piling on, and on, and on, and on, and on.....
Point out that hILLary has got one foot on a banana peel and another in a grave. Replay Jerome Ziefman’s assessment that hILLary is “unfit for any position of the public trust”.
Just keep pounding it’s a target rich environment. Don;t let her get a word in edgewise. Just keep pummeling her every minute.
And when they guff.
Respond no wonder they call this joint the Clinton news network
and then counter attack with why aren't we talking about
The 30 years of the same crooks in DC destroying it with TPP and Nafta .
Finish by stating , I am here to stop cooks like the Clinton's , Bushes ,
Paul Ryan, McCain ,and Pelosi from the continual selling off to there Billionaire owners calling the shots in DC.
He dismisses it with one sentence about Dem hypocrisy and then spends the rest of the time talking about Hillary Clinton’s Goldman speech about her dream of open borders.
The interviewer’s name was Billy Bush? Oh, please :-)
Thank you for the link, he’s on a roll.
Britain’s first female PM was Margaret Thatcher, a real solid lady. She held the job 11 years. How can we allow Hillary,the lying witch, to be Pres after the huge disgrace caused by the first black Pres? Unbelievable.
