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.”

Mark my words: they are going to get careless and scorch some earth that they will regret scorching.
I’m thinking of the report just recently that Ben & Jerry’s got a boycott rather than attaboys out of saluting BLM with a new ice cream flavor.

Excellent point!
I agree. But he has to let some arrogance go.
At least for this apology. His apology statement was very weak.
Sincerely apologize, say what clinton’s been for 45 years, and give your grand vision for the future.
and ASSANGE, drop a nuke for God’s sake!!
I agree: Donald has grown into the gravitas that belongs to the position of President of the USA. Whatever pig he acted like before (and it was apparently only a lot of trash talk to buddies), he realizes (unlike Bill Clinton) that it has no place in his proposed administration in Washington.
God Himself will speak up for that, even if Donald doesn’t have the most skilled rejoinder on this green earth. (And he did not do all that bad by pointing out that it wasn’t even close to what he heard out of Bill — a thinly veiled warning to Hillary’s campaign.)
Agreed. I love the guy but he HAS TO let go of some arrogance and PREPARE for debates and make a SINCERE apology.
HE CANNOT admit when he’s wrong, and he’s got 48 hours to change that.
Apologize for being crude and offensives, say you respect women dearly and have a YUGE number of them in executive positions and move on
Ultimately the only apology that really matters is the one that is made before God — and Christ already furnished it on the Cross.
People who don’t want to accept that are going to find themselves brushed aside and very very “sorry.”
I pray you’re right.
The one difference is he used some words women really HATE. I can’t go into detail but the MSM will.
An apology, heartfelt, and move on during debate.
Mrs. Clinton brought up taking the high road at the last debate and how Trump takes the low road. She’s made herself a hypocrite once again.
Iran is developing nuclear weapons. North Korea already has them.
Both renegade countries want to develop and deploy Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and to launch these weapons at U.S. cities, or create an Electro Magnetic Pulse that will take out our electric grid and destroy our technology, sending us back to the early 19th century.
Iran once said they would like to nuke Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Our economy is in bad shape, and our southern border is being invaded by disease-ridden third world illegals from Mexico, Central America, and from who knows where.
Our military is falling apart while our enemies strengthen theirs.
Meanwhile, deranged muslims plot to take over the world and destroy America in the process.
And we’re supposed to worry about some locker room talk from a presidential candidate in a private conversation 11 years ago?
This country is too stupid to survive if it elects “that woman.”
I confess
I use the p word
A lot
Two different ways
Vagina
Paul Ryan type girlyman
I have never touched one without permission
I don’t grab them
I treat them as an object of love
All guys are not like me
This is nothing
Give it a week
But he will have to fight fire with fire
I think he has a surprise or two for Hillary on Sunday night. Look, maybe I’m not as worried about the election as many people justifiably are, but I think America knows the dire straits we’re in. Hillary won’t be able to steal this election without us knowing it. If we see her within a point or two in Indiana, since that is one of the first states to report on election night, then we’ll know we have deep fraud taking place. The American people will make the necessary choice for president in Donald Trump. I always remain hopeful because being pessimistic isn’t gonna get us anywhere.
No kidding
And that’s the only time respectable girls use the f word
You are misinformed - Romney won the Independents and lost the election. Too much emphasis is put on these so-called “undecided voters.”
Donald used the P-word, I understand. “I wanted to get her by the [sex organ].”
That would be kind of like a woman using the D-word about a fellow.
This is low and lustful, agreed, but you know? I think it is also going to read as very honest and again there will be the Clinton legacy to thank for that contextual background.
Ultimately we have to acknowledge how low we are before we can go forward from that point.
Hillary’s “Forward->” is a hoot because she was all about pushing Bill’s victims “Backward<-.” I think that is going to offend women worse than some piggish male talk about women’s sex organs.
Actually Carters lust comment in Hefs rag was talked about a whole lot
But it hurt him none because the media was after Ford of course
AGREED! IF we can get that info out there.
Somewhere along the past fifty years, EVERY billionaire conservative forget to buy a network!!
To be fair to O’reilly, he said “anti trump forces” let the tape out
If he loses the Massachusetts Bay Puritan vote, he’s finished!!!! /s;)
This so-called revelation isn’t a revelation at all. Trump has made these comments in one of his books. He was a playboy, so what? He admits it, but, he sure didn’t rape anyone or bite their lips.
I think these Puritans would be kinder to Donald than our modern hypocritical pseudo-Puritans. The former believed fervently in repenting and forgiveness, and a Christ kind enough to furnish the means generously. The latter? They only wanna “gotcha.”
BTTT!
