holy crap man it’s already a huge shitstorm and it hasn’t been 12 hours yet
I, too am getting tired of the posts that say "all men talk like this". I may have when I was in my teens and twenties, but would consider it quite immature and offensive if a mature professional person talked that way. I'm still voting for Trump, and I do think some crude comments are quite minor in comparison with our freedom. But I do think the comments are going to cause some damage. Not because of the comments themselves, but because of the endless media barrage that is only beginning. This is looking like Clayton Williams all over again.
Trump’s support with men just skyrocketed. And don’t think for one minute women don’t love an alpha male. Boys will be boys. LOL!
Not to mention putting a sexual predator back in the WH
If this bothers people, just wait until we have open borders like Hillary wants. Then we can have the migrant men assaulting women like their doing in Europe.
Troll much?
That does it I am voting for Cruz, if he goes back and lives with his wife.
Who cares? He didn’t rape her? He didn’t stick a cigar in her vagina then chew on the cigar. He didn’t sleep with an iranian agent in his bedroom. ...and so forth. What orchestrated, PC and faux outrage over a big nothing.
They won’t listen. It’s total-denial time. I don’t mind disagreeing with folks; I might be wrong in my opinions... but I hate losing respect for them. Reading these delusional posts is depressing. Folks are somehow thinking Trump has this under control. Moral folks on here are rationalizing a married man discussing a married woman with a stranger because Bill Clinton is a bad guy. The fact is, it doesn’t even matter if it was “normal” or not, it’s whether it plays in the public sphere, where the entire entertainment culture is happily and unabashedly hypocritical toward Republicans. After the debate, he was an object of ridicule, and now he is one of disdain - to the undecided and independent voter, particularly the females.
He is done.

“Extremely Lewd Conversation”
I read the transcript wondering when I was going to get to the extreme lewd part but didn’t see it at all. The reactions on twitter are similar. People just see this as another media hitjob.

Interesting how no one is commenting on just how WAPO “acquired” the HOT MIC audio....Was it Billie Bush (cousin to W)? Hmmm.
In 2005, Trump was a businessman and TV personality not saint or politician aka normal citizen. Vote forHillary if she better meets your moral standards.
I understand the lesser of two evils argument. For me it has limits. I get that for others it is overwhelmingly compelling. I respect your contention.
That’s not the subject of my posts, nor in those I was responding to. The subject is that so many here are kidding themselves that Trump isn’t sinking. He most certainly is, and tragically it is under his own weight. She is an eminently beatable candidate.
Regardless of whether I am for him or not, I believe he is going down, and will continue to do so. I assure you I don’t want her as president. Unfortunately it takes more than all of us on these boards to elect any Republican candidate. And he is losing those pesky other people.
I think he got away with so much so far because he looked strong. Ridicule doesn’t easily work against a strong opponent. With his lack of preparation for the debate, he looked weak, and his eternal willingness to be baited by others made him look silly in the back-and-forth with the criminal, and his subsequent Twitter war with a former beauty-pagent contestant. Ridicule of him was more effective after that, and now the libs are layering on disclosures of things worthy of disgust. It is sticking, and I doubt the worst has come yet. He first began becoming an object of ridicule, and now is one of contempt - to the 10% or so of the voting public on the fence that need to vote “R”.
That’s what I am seeing, and I wish someone would convince him to bow out, though I doubt it will happen. In my opinion - and I could certainly be wrong - he is on track to lose... so a change to the ticket is a better path to avoiding “President Hillary” than wishes and delusional posts hoping that Trump himself released this tape as some sort of strategic masterstroke, or that he really won the debate, or that these recorded comments will help him with “macho” men. I am shocked how many of these posts I have read since yesterday.
Its like shining a flashing light saying: Don't focus on Trump being lewd, instead focus on my hypocrisy in criticizing Trump after supporting Bill and even attacking his victims so he could be President.
Bow out? ..and go with who Romney or Cruz? You got to be freakin’ kidding? Your arguement is not helpful or useful. Do what you will, but I doubt many FReepers would be convinced or agree with you.
I just came in from working outdoors all day and hadn’t heard about this audio leak. Just listened to it and it actually sounds like he’s BSing and joking. Guy Talk aka Talking Shiot. Not for real is how I hear it.
You didn’t miss anything - most feel the same way, except those who were spring-loaded just waiting for an opportunity to reject Trump (#NeverTrumpers - they already reject anyway).
Spineless sHlitz like Paul Ryan, Mike Lee, Glenn Beck, Megan Kelly, the Bush clan and a lot of other ground-hugging worm-boys.
