Publish the tape or don't publish the tape.

This entire species of "news item" - "oh, gee, there's this really cool thing that isn't released yet" - is so fucking tiresome, no matter who is engaging in it.

it's fucking PR bullshit nonsense. Remember to drink your Ovaltine.

Let's hear the tape or STFU.

Hard to call it nonsense when the roll out is going to put a lot of money in her bank account. I would also say it is advertising over that of PR.

Just taking up time. "Lets all talk about O's tape for a month". Please no. Every DAY that goes by we suffer harm as Americans.

"His presidency will not survive this".

Suuure. Again, I'll believe it when I hear it.

We may never get to hear the tape. Doesn't she have a book coming out?

I would relish it coming from a minority celebrity woman from his own (past) staff!

for every Trump tweet, statement or action that was going to be his downfall, I'd have enough money to buy Trump Tower.

A tape with Trump unarguably using the "n word" or any of the other "do not go there" slurs ends it. Forget his base, they are a minority. When 90% of the African-American population and 30-40% of the rest of the country begins a nationwide "sit in" until he resigns or is removed, it becomes untenable for him to be President. And that is what will happen. I doubt a sizeable percentage of House GOP would even stand with him or defend him. You can't defend a man who calls African-Americans the "n word".

1. What did SHE do in response to his comments?
2. What kind of relationship had she fostered with him previously that he felt comfortable speaking to her like that?
3. If he did speak to her like that, why did she put up with it for so long AND why did she wait until now, when she's selling a book, to tell the world about him?

In other words, I think Omarosa is pretty much full of sh#t, but we'll see.

Paul Ryan and the rest of Congress will either ignore it, or meekly say: gosh, maybe he coulda used better words, like "tax cuts for the rich"

His followers will wipe the drool from their chins and howl with glee. He could sodomize them and they would do the same

Sarah Slanders, after she gets done nodding and agreeing, will deny the very existence of the tapes

The media will be overwhelmed. There might be a shark or something else to show

Surely he knows the truly stupid mind fucked trumprs will believe anything he tells them, regardless of what they actually see with their own eyes. Most of the rest of us know there is no depths he wont plumb, no lie he won't make up, no deed is too wrong or illegal to be done.

We’ve had our hopes raised and dashed so many times that THIS will bring on the end it is hard to get my hopes up again. You can only get kicked in the teeth so many times before you just stop listening. So, yea, Omarosa. Do tell. If it happens we’ll all heave a sigh of relief. But mostly I expect to go Oh-hum.

I'd be pleasantly surprised otherwise. But I put about as much faith in Omarosa as I do in Tom Arnold. There are far better Messiahs out there.
