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.”

Glad to see that they have some common sense!
He apologized, he doesn’t need to grovel.
This will impact the race. It changes the entire dynamic. It would be a killer for Trump if Hillary was a saint. But she is dirtier than he is with a far more recent record of splashing around in cesspools. The Clinton's do this kind of dirty work for a living. Literally. Any other republican candidate was going to get the same treatment. The difference is, Trump has the resources and connections to fight back. And he will. He will burn D.C. down in the next thirty days. I really think the establishment should have held their fire for another three weeks. They played their cards too early and they brought a steak knife to an artillary fight.
One more thought....don’t even think about looking at the polls until 10 November. And turn off all TV news. Just do it. The outcome of this election will be unknown to anyone but God himself until all votes are counted. There is no one alive today who has useful input on predicting what a majority of American voters are going to do this Election Day. We are WAY outside the realm of normal election politics and the normal pundits have already been proven wrong a hundred times over since the primary started. Don’t think for one second they’ve got it figured out now.
Who leaked it, or how was it leaked?
At least someone has the Courage to stand against the hypocrisy of the low life Clinton’s,all the phonies who defended the pornographic behaviour of a sitting President now are SHOCKED,SHOCKED,Donald Trump said some bad words,and yet a candidate who has sold her office for hundreds of millions of dollars,left Americans to die,allowed men,women and Children to get burned to death at Waco,lied about numerous other law breaking.
We have wallowed in this garbage since the 60 minute interview where the lying phony Hillary said she was standing by her man,we have had to live with these bastards ever since,enough is enough.
The country should just come to their senses,CONFESS! Let’s get rid of the filth and move on!
Hillary has not had to talk about her open border stance,her amnesty plan,her support for Obama care.come on Donald,put it right out there,folks I said some pretty raw things,I apologize for that,but I don’t think the country should suffer open borders,more Obama care,amnesty for millions of illegals,common core,the destruction of our military,the selling out of the country for cash from foreigners because I said bad things,if that’s the case then Hillary should resign from this race because she has done far worse
I’ll take “lewd comments” over nauseous self-righteous hypocrisy any day of the week. In fact those phonies make me wish for more “lewd comments”.
He’s such a breath of fresh air.
The Dems and MSM saved this October Surprise specifically to derail Evangelical support for Trump. The aim is to dissuade Conservative Christians to stay home on election day, or vote for a third party candidate, not turn them to vote for Clinton. They know the Conservative resolve to stop Hillary, but they believe they can dissuade Conservative Christians to stay home.
The Dems and MSM have spent so much time excusing and covering up for Obamas and Clintons that they shouldn’t have any standing when making accusations.
That being said, any Christian who takes this bait and stays home on election day, or turns to a third party candidate, is begging for our nation to be destroyed on the alter of socialism, liberalism, and hedonism.
Trump recently accepted Christ as Lord. I believe that he has been forgiven for past sins. So should we not also forgive. Satan is the one who constantly brings up past sins to discredit our salvation. He, Satan, loves to declare us as hypocrites for past stands and actions that contradict our current good life.
Other than Hillary and Bill carrying a Bible, have we ever seen any moral or righteous stand by either of them? Have we ever seen any action or verbal expression by either them, or the current occupant of the White House, condemning Islam as Anti-Christ. The fundamental document of Islam declares itself to be Anti-Christ by stating that God cannot have a son.
All Christian of good conscience should look at the actions of the Clintons (actions not words), and the past actions of the liberal, progressive left (actions not words), and recognize how they have been conducting a cultural war on Christianity and Judaism over the last half century.
Our nation cannot be restored until the lawless actions (actions not words), and inaction (failure to enforce laws they disagree with) of the left are reversed, and our American Republic restored.
We are in a political war where the socialist, progressives, atheist, anarchist, and the forces of the Anti-Christ are on one side, and those who support our American Republic and the Judeo-Christian values and beliefs are on the other.
If the enemy wins this battle, our nation will, without revival, fall to a godless coalition that will fight over the remains after destroying ouy Republic.
Yes, we need a revival, but more importantly we need to preserve our nation as that “City On A Hill”, a nation dedicated to those freedoms and rights guaranteed under our Constitution. A government that can only exist when a moral people take a stand, and not abandon that dream exposed by our Founding Fathers. Christians and Jews who believe and accept God’s Word need to stand with our nation and not abandon the one chance to restore our Republic.
The forces that are aligned against us are strong, but we cannot abandon the fight based upon Trump’s past words, spoken during a moment of pride and bravado in private conversation.
We need to recognize that those who make the charges do not have the good of our country in mind, or the preservation of our Republic.
Evangelicals who are paying attention know that Trump supports pro-life justices and no taxpayer funding for abortions. We know that Trump supports repeal of the Johnson Amendment that shackles churches and keeps them from speaking freely. We also know that he supports religious liberty. The democrats have proven they hate me and Christians like me. Simple as that.
There’s a high percentage of Evangelicals who are born again and remember their own ‘locker room talk’ days.
We’re all human and I prefer “lewd comments” to politically-correct controlled speech any day of the week. These critics are self-righteous hypocrites who say AND DO this stuff more than anyone.
With Trump, what you see is what you get. The others are wolves in sheep’s clothing. What these self-righteous prigs are REALLY after has NOTHING to do with morality. They want only one thing: more POWER and YOUR MONEY and will use this and anything else to get it.
GO TRUMP!!!
Amen.
The degree of hyper-hysteria over an insignificant, irrelevant lock-room comment made (in private) by an unmarried Trump is absurd.
Only hypocritical RINOs who've despised and run down Trump in any case have been wringing their greasy hands over this BS...as they remain conspicuously silent over Hillary's email scandals, Hillary's Clinton Foundation Pay-To-Play scams, Benghazi responsibility, etc.
IOW, for the GOPe weasels, Dems-rats, and the MSM-snakes, Trump's single macho bravado banter is far more morally reprehensible than sociopath Hitlery's Fascism, support for Infanticide, committing chronic perjury before Congress, and leaked plans plans to crush US sovereignty under the thumb of the UN.
If this is enough to sink Trump, the USA is truly too stupid to exist any longer as a Republic.
