Is the Trump rape story (the 13 yr. old girl) going to get traction or not?

It's bouncing around the internet here and there, but it's not exactly on fire either. And it seems almost totally ignored on tv.

Is it going to get traction or not?

Unless there's corroborating evidence and a video, no good can come of this.

I'd prefer to win on the merits and not no smears.

If OTOH there's something to this story then it's not going to get out all on it's own.

...the young woman walks out with Gloria Allred, it will get some attention. I did not hear any story about a Trump rape... but I have heard Bill Clinton was a rapist, right here on DU; posted that I did not believe the rape charges, but urged the other poster to continue looking for evidence. I heard nothing. Clinton is not a rapist, in my opinion. Never thought Trump was, either - but I hope it's exposed, if true.
