(34,467 posts)Arrested and often convicted of a crime. It sometimes happens on walking trails or when women are walking home from a metro stop after work.
There is no substantive difference between what Donald did and admitted to and what these perpetrators did--they're just not rich or famous. In fact, when it occurs in the workplace as some of Donald's alleged incidents did, it's even worse.
Lawrence O'Donnell called it sexual assault as did many commenters on today's NY Times story on the incident and a lot of people recommended those comments. Facts are facts.

(5,648 posts)When you blow things that are already horrible out of proportion, it allows weasel worded Republicans to accuse us of exaggerating in an effort to minimize the horror of Trump's original statements.
We don't have to say it was a crime in order to make a fool proof case that it disqualifies him from being President of the United States.
It is more than enough for me, and many other people, to see him lose badly and be left with his business empire, which these days depends almost entirely today on his image, in absolute shambles. You can bet that putting Trump's name on a building for a fee is not going to make good business sense any more.
It is enough for me to see this egotistical narcissist humiliated.

(34,467 posts)You aren't the slightest bit convincing.
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)Was it the fact that I pointed out you were over reacting. Perhaps you could provide an example of how you would have responded to your over reaction without being being offense.
And isn't it interesting that by accusing me of being condescending, you were yourself being condescending. Kind of make you wonder doesn't it.

(14,020 posts)'everybody does it, Bill Clinton: way worse' crap. They're saying this was long ago, he didn't know his (lapel mic) was actually on, etc. Yeah, that's called 'pretting it up'
CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)Every host today since this came out minimized Trump's apology as insincere at best.
CNN political experts have been hammering Trump. Hillary surrogates are having are blazing mad. Trump surrogates have been admitting it was horrible; they only question the timing of the release of the tape as "political". However, that stupid reasoning is instantly attacked by the CNN political experts and Hillary surrogates as completely bogus - "It doesn't matter when it came out; the only thing that matters is what Trump said, which speaks volumes about his attitude about women".
Most CNN political analyst agree Trump cannot recover from this.
