I know many here don't think Trump's taped comments from 11 years ago are a "big deal". That's fine; however, there are many "undecideds", especially women, that will be repulsed by his comments. Also, he is going to have many, many GOP leaders jumping ship. It will be an avalanche of voters, politicians and even campaign officials abandoning Trump unless he takes this head on. Now. As in tomorrow has to be "damage control Saturday".

If you think his "apology" is going to suffice, you aren't living in the real world. That statement won't be enough to hold the wavering women, and it won't be enough to stop the revolt and mutiny that will ensue.

He has to do more. Immediately.

A contrite Trump needs to announce that he will deliver a live statement on Saturday to address this issue. He needs to be accompanied by his wife and daughters, along with the rest of his family. He needs to sincerely apologize to all women, including those in his family. He needs to make the case that those comments do not reflect who he is today.

Once he has given his prior statements the seriousness they deserve, then he can pivot. He can then point out that the statements he made 11 years ago, as crass as they were, show a man who can take "no" as an answer from a woman. He didn't assault her, nor did he seek to destroy her life, and he has never done that to any woman. Then, he can point out that Bill and Hillary Clinton are a tag-team of rape and reprisal. Bill Clinton could not take "no" for an answer, and Hillary Clinton helped him cover up his crimes by intimidating the women into silence.

Trump could go NUCLEAR, which he should, and have one or more of the women that the Clintons have assaulted by his side. Imagine with the entire world watching his statement, he introduces Juanita Broderick so she can tell her story. Willey, Jones, Flowers, etc., could follow. Make the Clintons rue the day they pulled this "October surprise".

Trump MUST show he takes this serious and is repentant. Putting the Clintons on defense will be a bonus. Then he can say he will have nothing else to say on the matter. This gets it out of the way before the debate on Sunday. And if someone wants to bring it up on Sunday, then up comes the Clintons dirty laundry, blue dress and all.

I truly believe that if he just tries to pass it off as "guy talk", he will either be forced off the ticket or get off voluntarily once he sees his support plummeting.

Trump needs to fill the audience with Billie’s victims, and have them stand up!

Lord, will the drama ever end.

If the electorate is this fragile, then what are you going to do. Are we going to keep waiting for Mr. Pure to arrive?

Not until the Lord Jesus returns.

Bottom line is this..I have been following Donald Trump’s career for a long time..this is how Trump talks, I really don’t get the shock from people..this is Donald Trump, and he made it to the nomination..it would be like people being shocked at what Howard Stern says and voting for him anyway..its Trump being Trump..don’t like it..vote for Hillary Clinton, say ADIOS to your guns..and say HOLA to MILLIONS and MILLIONS of refugees being imported into America..like Clinton says..HELLO OPEN BORDERS..if that is what people want because they can’t stand hearing Trump saying some nasty words so be it..I can’t stop them..just like I couldn’t stop these same idiots from voting for Barack Obama in 2008, I had to sit back and watch the disaster happen

Really ..??? According to WHO ..?????

None of you are as “god like” as you pretend to be .. so don’t go all acting insulted .. I can bet you most men have had the same or similar conversations with other men; just as women do the same thing with their female friends.

I’m so sick of everybody getting all worked up OVER NOTHING.

You do understand that the enemedia will release two or three things like this each week against Trump until the end of the election, right?

Sorry to say, and I know the Freepers will be flaming me up one side, down the other.... but Trump is finished... its over... I wish that wasn’t the case, but it is.. When Bill Clinton left office, he had a 65% approval rating.... he was loved... a media darling... people just didn’t connect the dots on his cheating, raping, etc. There was no audio or video... there was a stained dress, but it still didn’t resonate with the America.... so he was a horny President..... Trump’s words are abusive and hurtful. He’s not going to rebound.... the only thing we can hope for is to maintain the Senate and keep her at bay for 4 years. 24 Hours ago I posted something that was basically a “what’s so wrong with Trump” and said when you compare him to other choices, and other Presidents past and present, he actually has a good business record to stand on....short of divine intervention.... its otherwise over for Trump.

Nonsense.

Trump must not let Hillary define the issues.

He already apologized and needs to change the subject immediately, telling people what is important in this election: the economy and where the country is going to go with him as president, vs. Hillary.

If the country is going to get all wee-weed up over Trump’s lewd comments said in private to an entertainment host 11 years ago,

and if this is enough to sway voters to elect Hillary,

then our country was already too far gone to be saved.

Face it, at this point Trump really COULD shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a vote; the people who support him hate Hillary so much there is really nothing he could do to lose support form those who have already decided to vote for him.

The hatred for Hillary is so intense that unless he receives a serious head wound that heals ‘miraculously’ there’s nothing he could do, say or have revealed about him that is going to change a single mind. OTOH if he does spectacularly well in the next debate or two, or Hillary makes a misstep he might be able to pick up some votes.

I think Trump is done. The question I have is does he go quietly or starting with the debate tear both Clintons to shreds. There is quite enough stuff out there for him to do it and a guy with his bucks can pay for information the best in the media could not find.Theteby lesving Hillary grievously wounded with little prospect of being able to govern.

Nobody needs to bring up Jennifer Flowers. She was never raped by Clinton. She was a willing participant just like the black whores he picked up on 15th St. in Little Rock. And she used her “connection” to get favors all over Arkansas.

Juanita Broaderick is the straw that will break the camel’s back. Trump should put her in lots of campaign ads.

I really don’t think it is too big deal, perhaps too those holier than you NeverTrumpers. But they won’t vote him anyway.

He settled it. Said he's not perfect and never claimed to be. In the debate he needs to say "Yes, I ACTED bad, but I was a private citizen. Your husband WAS PRESIDENT and YOU ENABLED and covered up his predatory behavior. You were an accomplice."

Pull no punches. Tell the truth.

Yes, and all should remember to keep things in context:
This was Donald Trump Liberal Democrat speaking normal Liberal Democrat behind closed doors status quo.
DJT apologize, point out that is still normal lib/dem dialogue and that is why he is a changed man- conservative American and republican.
