ST. LOUIS – Donald Trump vowed Saturday to "never" drop out of the presidential race, even as a parade of Republicans called on him to do just that in the wake of sexually aggressive comments about women on a leaked video tape.
...........................
He made his announcement after huddling with advisers at Trump Tower, a day after revelations that threw their presidential campaign into turmoil and inspired a rare apology from the New York businessman.

"lewd and graphic comments about winning"

They can't read what they write. Presumably they mean 'women'.
