drumpf provides so many distractions, wait until two weeks before then she should go on all tv shows and air the tape - make a huge production out of proving his hate filled racism. Let it be one of the final things on folks minds as they go to vote.

except it didn't work when the "Grab 'em by the p***y" tape came out. His numbers went up in response.

Let it be so and the sooner the better....

Let the world hear from the racist asshole himself what he thinks about minorities and non-whites...

The closer the election gets, the more dramatic each sordid episode becomes. Dramatic reveals just prior to an election are sacrosanct in American politics.

I feel like if it was going to, it would have by now.

TBH, I'm not even sure it's actually on tape.

to his racist base. We need to stop equating them to average Americans.

We don’t need his base to change this downward spiral of bigotry and hate. They’ve always been there and will always be there. We just need to marginalize them and move on without them.

People have tipping points. There is nothing like knowing he calls you and your people vile, contemptuous names to make you take that extra step.

These people are a fact of life and we need to acknowledge we have that underbelly and use that knowledge to choose what we will become. The Truth is a good thing to know, even if it hurts to see it.

The only way Trumpsters are going to care is if we convince them that he sold them out to the "libruls"

The fact that he sold them out to Russia and the oligarchs doesn't phase them. Racism doesn't phase them. Infidelity and bribery doesn't phase them.

it doesn’t mean we are rooting for her.

What someone is and what they do are not the same thing. Trump will be brought down by his own doing. He’s the one who picked Omarosa and made her a household name. She is a full blown product of Trumpworld. It’s his karma biting him in the ass.

I agree that she is a horrible individual, and I wasn't suggesting otherwise.
