He exceeds my expectations. Trump is by far the absolute worst candidate the Republicans ever had. I could find a better candidate for them just radomly picking someone from the phonebook.

And, as a huge MMA fan, ex champ -- Amanda Nunes holds the bantam strap now, and could kick Trump's ass way better than Rousey could.

She has done so much for women in MMA.

He was bragging, he didn't care who heard him.

Is there ANY disgusting business he HASN'T been involved in?

Oh, and Hanover?

Yes, boss?

Goodbye!

I CAN see him selling dope and running a preschoolers' prostitute ring, though.

The bailiff stood up there and read off this massive list of atrocities Captain Sternn allegedly committed. It must have taken hours...then at the end..."and one moving violation."

It's TERRIBLE how ALL the women in the movie are drawn as unnaturally curvy and are basically all sex objects (cept the badass grey-haired lady at the end ... she's just hot, not slutty), etc ... and that's JUST not right ...

But man ... to a 16 year old suburban dude, at the midnight movies, high as a kite with his buddies, rocking to the classic rock tunes, and the babes, and the trippy stories, and the Loch-Nar ... back in the 80's ... that was one GREAT movie Pretty much the whole thing ... though it dragged a bit at the end ... or maybe that was my buzz wearing off ...

Donald's bad night just keeps getting worse.

no self-respect, nor does she have respect for any other woman.

Sickening.

I looked for pics of her (Nancy O'Dell) when I read this and she has that typical beauty pagent look. She often poses in short skirts, has long legs, shows lots of cleavage, and topped off by long blond hair. In other words she looks like a Barbi Doll.

When women choose to emulate Barbi in order to have a tv career, they are inevitably going to be treated like a play thing by some powerful and vulgar men. His flaunting may be his downfall.

Watching the backround of the tv series "Versailles" on Ovation. It appears that Trump thinks of himself as another Louis. A mini-God living in a golden palace. When I watched "Mad Men" over the past couple of weeks, I clocked the obnoxious behavior of so many men in the series around the women. And Draper married a "Barbi".

How many men here in DU want to be surrounded by dolls rather than 21st century women? How many of those guys are voting in this ekection

So he should get a good groping, too?

He is a good looking guy with a killer bod, and he likes to show it off.

Why doesn't he get called a Ken Doll?

Dolls are play things. Does this toy not have some effect on the perception of women who opt to imitate "it" by certain kinds of misogynistic men?

From Alternet on the Trump phenom:

"I think it’s time to take a good look in the mirror: Is there any better symbol of what’s gone wrong in mainstream American culture than a greedy, superficial, sociopathic megalomaniac reality TV star who makes constant displays of fragile and toxic masculinity? These are the qualities we, as a culture, too often celebrate and encourage. Money and fame are our core values. Success at any price. Cut-throat business practices. Bullshit your way to the top. Be a “real” man. Isn’t that why it doesn’t seem to matter what Trump says or does, or how many lies he’s caught out on? Don’t a lot of us kind of admire his sheer gall? Is that why we can’t stop watching him?"

Women who want to get into TV journalism are forced to look like Barbie. It's the system that needs to be changed.

Women really need to demand that they be allowed to just look like themselves.

We need to change the system that makes women think the only way to get ahead is by looking like a Barbie doll. Setting up the system, and then blaming the woman for it, is misogynistic.

I mean ... why do ostensibly self-respecting women not simply 'choose other careers' if this is 'the way things are'? Nobody HAS to be a beauty pageant host, now do they? Not exactly a highly skilled, nor a seemingly particularly desirable occupation ... is it?

And I mean ... where does this 'line of thinking' ... stop?

Should we all DEMAND that our TV newscasters, Hollywood actors, etc, etc ... NOT be chosen based on (mainly) looks, just because some of us are uncomfortable with this notion?

What about salespeople? Everyone knows they're very often chosen based on looks ... and that it CAN make a difference in terms of your sales ... what your salespeople look like. So ... should we BAN this practice, too ... make it illegal to not hire a 57year old, 400lb slovenly ex-plumber to sit at the front desk at your Manhattan headquarters, because it's 'not fair'?

Should we MAKE Guess hire unattractive models?

Hopefully you see my point ... where does this end?

IMHO, it's up to THE PEOPLE who are considering such positions to consider whether their 'looks' ... and how much work they're willing to put in afa 'sustaining' them go ... make them suitable for the career. And whether or not they MIND being a 'piece of good-looking meat'. It's up to the person to decide ... that's part of what makes the Country great.

Media manipulation of the consumer is all pervasive. Until the 80's women could be on television without having been in "beauty pageants" or lookng like the "weather gals" on local channels across the country. "Eye Candy" is what is called. Thus is relatively new stuff that we can't avoid seeing. I used to enjoy watching pageants and trying to guess who would win. I've changed. I find them appalling now. A terrible promotion of Barbi Doll like appearance and demeaning to 95% of American women.

And have you seen the type of man who hangs around them and harrasses the contestants?

And he still tried to shove his tongue down her throat?

Ugh. This just keeps getting worse and worse. He can whine that Clinton did it too, but Clinton was never this aggressive and did take "no" for an answer and besides, "he did it too" is a defense that stopped working for most of us by the time we were five.

Katty Kay over at the BBC says it very well, "It's the way Mr Trump reveals that he sees women as a piece of sexual meat, something he wants, grabs, discards that is so damning."

Uh-huh, that's it all right. Well, this piece of meat has the vote and will be voting against this over entitled man child.

Whenever I read or see more of this stuff covered, I keep hoping Nina Turner shows up in her pink T-shirt to throw some Joyce Beaty level shade.
