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.

Trump is a genius, watch what happens, he needed to open the box, the gullible media like heroin addicts jumped on it and took the bait so did the rats. This also is a great vetting tool for the insiders who claim their allegiance to trump but are rat operatives

All republicans should say, it is unfortunate, however that is not rape so we need to look into Clintons and their foundation.

Sigh. Some thoughts. If this were a democrat, every member of the party would find a way to excuse it and “move on” to the “real issues that concern America.” Those catch phrases sound familiar? Instead, we have the Stolkholm syndrome RINO Republicans. They foolishly believe that they can appease their MSM captors by denouncing Trump. But do they realize that even if they replaced Trump, whoever they put in there would be subject to the same treatment? Be it Jeb, Rubio or Walker the MSM would have dug up some “surprise” to hammer them with. You can bet yer arse that the brave Stockholm syndrome RINOS would be selling that nominee down the road as well.

Who on earth hasn’t said something rude and crude in private conversations? I know I have and I’m a female.

“So this story is as big as ever and the apology changes nothing.”

As far as the MSM is concerned there is nothing Trump can do or say that will ever be enough to satisfy their need to have Cankles elected.

Vote Trump 2016

Bingo!
“I think they had to minimize the Wikileaks sump today and it was pretty incriminating stuff with Hillary’s transcripts for the Goldman Sachs speeches.”
We are being herded into a one world communist system where people like HRC, Obama, third world dictators and whoever else will rise to the top with privilege and money and the rest will be slaves to their whims. That Beatles song “Imagine there were no countries” or some such drivel is their dream. But it wouldn’t be so peaceful. Nothing new here but the threat is real.

Not only that, but now it becomes open season on Hillary’s sordid past—a big one indeed. I’m not sure if Hillary wants to be reminded she was kicked off the Watergate prosecution team and her very sordid defense of a child rapist (!), of all things—and this was from the middle 1970’s, some four decades years ago.

Trumps joking remarks are nothing.

Hellary’s joking remarks have got people killed.

I agree but differ somewhat...rinos want Hitlery as they like their kingdoms and they don’t care about us. This just gives them excuse to push harder...sadly Mike Lee is one. They are smart enough to know what they are doing

The new hero may be Preibus who may see the signs of Trump’s win and he wants to be in his good graces.

Whore-aldo Rivera on Fox this morning said that Trump needs to drop out because he is 'Grotesque'

Right.

Hillary does not get a pass, either. She has a history of saying vile things against entire groups of people and threatening individuals.

..he won’t support Trump but he takes 25 grand from child rapist Dennis Hastert

Do you remember when he did that? I think it should be passed onto the Dem (Ryan Solen)candidate running against pussy Paul Ryan.

Oh this one's rich! She was terrified he was going to rape her and then she and her partner sued him and got some money and then, later, when she didn't have a partner she called him and allegedly became his girlfriend a while.
