Trump apologizes for saying 'foolish things,' turns tables on Bill Clinton
CNBC ^ | 10/7/2016 | Javier David

Posted on 10/07/2016 10:10:40 PM PDT by GilGil

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, with his campaign upended by crude remarks he made about women 11 years ago, apologized on Friday for saying "foolish things," attempted to pivot away from a widening controversy that threatened to sink his chances to win the White House.

He called the controversy a "distraction from the important issues we're facing today," returning to a campaign theme he's deployed frequently: The sexual behavior of Bill Clinton, who has been unfaithful to his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

In his statement, he accused the former president of predatory behavior, while saying the former Secretary of State and Democratic nominee attacked his accusers. Barely two weeks ago, Trump threatened to bring Gennifer Flowers, the former president's ex-paramour, to the first presidential debate.

She destroyed evidence back then, and tried to do the same with the emails now.

This all was quite predictable.

The Caining has begun.
I do not believe it adds up to very much.
But I was surprised how little took Cain down.

So far, I think Trump can rise above this.

I agree with you that going after bill Clinton would back fire. the only way to go after her is to connect Hillary to the intimidation of the victims of bill Clinton. if I was trump I would apologies for the crass language and then point out the difference between being crass and targeting and victimizing of women that Hillary and bill did.

It’s not in that article
The article it’s in mentioned how mother took her to hospitol that night. The medical report and the DNA testing. Then tell how HILLAry took remainder of undergarment and after that the part tested went missing

The airing of this “dirty laundry” against Trump should be seen for what it is, an act of utter desperation on the part of the DNC and #neverTrumpers. Truly pitiful in their weak attempts. If this is the worst they can come up with they should be deathly afraid of their imminent defeat at the presidential polls.

Trump should say its done and move on. He should focus on issues. The more time he spends on issues he is playing into the hands of Hitlary and the anti-Trump RINOs. This was planned. And there will be another major release like this before the next debate. Remind you the FBI did another Friday afternoon dump of Hitlary’s email investigation. More fodder in there than this video. Focus on the issues. He has responded. Ignore it like what the lamestream media is doing with Hitlary’s scandals. The libtard low info voter isn’t going to watch a video or listen to the full replay. They will only go by what they hear from the lamestream media. As they say in New York, Fo’get about it! “Pivot” back to the issues and how Hitlary has been a failed SoS and how she stubbed her toe with Russia.

What is wrong with this picture...........

The FBI is complicit in covering for Director Comey who is complicit with covering for Bill and Hillary Clinton all who have committed crimes against the United State of America.

A tape with egregious locker room language by two adult males suddenly appears and is played on Fox News to a large audience....was national security threatened...? NO. However Hilary Clinton destroyed government property to keep her nefarious acts secrete...destroying government property is a crime against the state. Vile, braggadocio remarks among men is not a crime.

I find people like Gerardo Rivera way over the top in his outrage at Donald Trump. Mr. Rivera has no problem with crimes against the state by the Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton not to mention her less than squeaky clean spouse Bill.

Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus had better stand by their man, Donald Trump and show the world what a criminal Hillary Clinton is and that she is NOT above the law.

That is the true picture, not some gotcha tape that made someone a lot of money.

The Clintons are going to experience the worst few weeks of their lives like they never have. People do not know Trump. He is about to gut Bill and Hillary Clinton. Trump is going to be brutal.

The Clintons are about to experience the nightmare from Hell. Trump is going to gut them and burn them alive. Were it any other candidate it would be over but this is Trump. Watch Trump fight his way out. He is going to turn ruthless and unwavering and in just a few weeks the planet will be talking about President-elect Trump.

Trump did the things you recommended

Apologized

Pointed out the difference between talk and actions

Tied illary to the intimidation of bill’s victims.

They are on the take-Trump-down team so nothing can undo this. Trump was a private citizen & at that time owed the public nothing.

GilGilI I find encouragement from your words...however, Trump the outsider must put less than adult remarks behind him....everyone knows what the Clinton's are but no one seems to care I would urge DT to focus on what Obama and his gang are up to....listen to Putin, Prime Minister Netanyahu, Theresa May of England, all the Democratic world leaders; call for law and order and support Constitutional law. Seems to me the Kennedy brothers were less than squeaky clean when it came to starlets....Oh yes, they were political insiders....

Yes. Let the surrogates get down and dirty in the weeds. However, if Trump is confronted, he will respond accordingly.

The media says Donald Trump's chances are doomed every week though, so coming from them, this line is pretty meaningless.
