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.

No, he should double down, not apologize, and act like an alpha male.

He shouldn’t have apologized, that was a huge mistake.

Local news opened with the Trump story, all the GOP-e calling him out, and angry celebrity Tweets(it’s Los Angeles, after all). Not a peep about the Wikileaks dump. That’s how it’s gonna be.

You give Trump 48 hours? Have you seen the latest Wikileaks on Hillary?

I am sure if you watch the MSM this weekend, they will be predicting the end of the world for Trump and the glorious coronation of Hillary.

“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.”

Absolutely asinine. You must think he abandoned four men to their deaths in Benghazi. You must think he defied the law and destroyed 30,000 emails. You must think he laughed after securing the release of a person he knew had raped a child. The list is endless.

What Trump needs to do is run a few ads to put all this into perspective.

Do what, grow himself some mammary glands? How’s he supposed to do that?

It’s being handled - and in a way which turns the focus back on Bill’s rapes and other foibles and her willing aiding and abetting of it all - to the detriment of the rape victims.

I do not know how to post an article. Please, if this has not been posted, would someone please do it. I had no idea that Trump’s buddy to whom he was “trash talking” in private was a Bush. Could this be important in understanding what is going on?

Do you mean like Bill and Hillary Clinton did in 1992 ?

Useless and phony; he would be neutered as a candidate. He could simply be honest. The truth is his best defense.

If it is now obvious he has lost so much support that he will lose next month, he could announce that he is resigning immediately as the Republican nomination in favor of Mike Pence. He could even let Pence take the next 2 debates. That would be a political earthquake.

You are wrong. The press wants to turn Trump into Paula Deen over this. He needs to brush it off as mild compared to Bill and Hillary antics.

Concern trolls are concerned about their concerns.
