Donald Trump’s Loyalists Aren’t Fleeing the Latest Storm
NY Times ^ | October 9, 2016 | Evan Halper and Chris Megerian

Posted on 10/09/2016 8:01:48 PM PDT by Innovative

To any number of Americans, the lewd, three-minute tape, and the Republican candidate’s halfhearted apologies, were the final straw. The 2008 Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, and 35 other party leaders publicly rejected his candidacy.

But not Kelly Glenn. I met Ms. Glenn, who helps run her vast family ranch along Arizona’s border with Mexico, on a recent reporting trip exploring Mr. Trump’s ideas about immigration, and she was one of several Trump supporters I called over the weekend to see how the tape was playing.

“Shame on him,” she said. “The fact he has no control over his mouth is distressing.” Distressing but not deal killing. Ms. Glenn said she would still vote for Trump. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Hillary Clinton take my gun,” she said.

That’s the kind of thing I’ve heard time and again since arriving in America this summer to cover this campaign from the perspective of a foreign correspondent. From coal country in West Virginia to the Southwestern borderlands, Trump supporters have casually dismissed the litany of insults and outrage that has characterized his campaign.

He missed a golden opportunity with Bill Clinton's victims right there in the audience to have the Hilderbeast apologize to them for the things that SHE said about each of them when it was discovered that they were attacked. That would have been a wonderful grand slam home run.

Darn straight ! It’s why I donated another $35 to the campaign last night after this ‘bombshell’ pussy crap emerged.

Tonight, after watching the debate and trying to keep up with the live thread here I am elated by the outcome.

That is a nice red hospital gown. I did not know they came in that color.

God makes everything beautiful in its time. I doubt these people have had their last say, yet! Hillary will keep on being baited on and on and on and Donald will keep on splattering egg on her face. He needs some egg in reserve for that.

I think Bill Clinton is going to vote for Trump.

Look at that face. He doesn't want to go back to the White House. He doesn't want to deal with all that crap. He's rich. He's old. He's tired. He doesn't even really like his wife that much.

I think he just wants quiet solitude, maybe play some golf with his buddies, and be able to ogle hot chicks without everyone passing judgment on him.

The leftists want everyone to freak out that Trump used a vulgar term. That’s rich. The leftists are the authors of vulgar terms. The fact that conservative Christian ladies such as myself are not clutching their pearls at the P-word (and, therefore, are not abandoning Trump) is THANKS TO THE LEFT! Those sickos have coarsened our airwaves for years. I love watching TV and I’ve certainly heard the language go down the tubes at the hands of leftist Hollywood writers. Movies are even worse. So if I am neither shocked nor particularly offended by Trump’s crude language, it’s because I’ve long since been desensitized by Hollywood and the rest of the left.

Agh, Bill may be thinking that’s finally how he can be rid of this opportunistic shrew.

I got an e-mail from a female friend in Indiana, mostly personal, but it started with “I watched the debate and support Donald Trump more than ever after tonight's debate...” For what it is worth, she is one tough woman and that has nothing to do with politics.

I saw a meme earlier that stated “If American woman are so upset about Donald Trump’s remarks - who the hell purchaed 80 million copies of Fifty Shades of Gray”?

The world rolled in mud and then screamed damnation at Donald for a coffee stain, basically.

It was NOT in an advantageous position there.

Evan Halper and Chris Megerian need to talk to Bill Clinton’s victims. And I don’t mean women Bill Clinton TALKED about - I’m talking rape and abuse.

Do a story on that... get some perspective Evan Halper and Chris Megerian ... then get back to us. Find out what Bill Clinton DID to powerless women.

Americans are sick of MSM bias... that could be another story for you.

There are numerous intellectually dishonest trolls that still dis’ Cruz. I have yet to be provided with any evidence that Cruz was any less than an honest and forthright man. I believe the anti-Cruzers either have an agenda to discredit an honest man who would have carried the torch much further toward restoring founding principles, or they are the simplistic fanboys you find painting themselves for their football team.

That being said, given the U.S.A.’s current toilet vortex trend, only suicidal maniacs would select hildebeast for the presidency (or any position of responsibility for that matter).

GO TRUMP!! (Please Lord, let him be one of yours now.)

Didn’t Bill look frosted when Trump pointed out he had a bunch of Clinton victims in the audience?

I watched that tape twice, and each time, I came away shaking my head, and saying, “THAT is what they are all worked up about!!” I hear worse stuff than that almost every day, sometimes worse that that standing around talking to the guys after church. It’s just typical BS, and anyone who says that they’ve never said such things or heard any of their family or friends say such things, are just liars.
