Yes. From experience, I also believe that many of those you identify as "'concerned' people," then and now, are often more concerned with appearing to be holy, than with the claimed objects of their compassion--such as it is.

Reduced to the actual dynamics of Trump's 2005 comments, it was not an advocacy of any disrespect; it was a sexual fantasy--the type that at least 99% of normal men sometimes experience, arising without any for thought in their minds. According to some studies, I believe that an almost equivalent percentage of women experience reciprocal fantasies. One Being caught on tape, foolishly verbalizing such a moment, eleven years ago, hardly justifies any one else, claiming even moderate conservative principles' demanding as atonement that we forfeit our heritage to prove the demanding dears' holiness.

I do not recommend our candidate continuing to talk about the incident--probably a mistake;--but the rest of us need to perfect a rational and proportionate response to it, when anyone brings the subject up. This is not something we need to panic over, if we handle it correctly.
