Game Over for Trump

[vorlon13]

I'm not denying Trump has screwed the pooch today.

But he's in competition for title of best pooch screwer with the Clintons.

And why isn't Hillary already 50 points ahead of Trump, and does anyone think she will be Monday ?

Hillary isn't 50 points ahead because we've got some really screwed up people in this country. There's at least 35% or so of the country who will vote Republican no matter who the candidate is. If Hillary changed her party to republican, adopted their platform, and ran against Bernie Sanders, they'd gladly vote for their new Queen. They'd say Benghazi was overblown, and she was exonerated. They'd say that her emails were personal matters, and that she has experience. They'd overlook Bill's past indiscretions and applaud her for not getting a divorce.

Wow. A candidate bragging about being able to sexually assault women. And so many people still won't care.

As for the dumbing down of the 'pubs, and then most of the rest of the electorate, I blame Reagan.

She doesn't need to be 50 points ahead. I agree that she's a lousy politician but thank the FSM for Trump. Five points ahead will do it. She would have to make an active effort to fuck this one up. Trump is at the point where Hitler could challenge him.

That was my takeaway from this -- the man was admitting to committing sexual assault.

Unfortunately, with our ADHD 24 hour news cycle and the built-in political reset with the Sunday shows, I anticipate this will be forgotten by the masses by Tuesday at the latest. I'd like to be wrong, but reality sucks sometimes.

And, just as a general thought/observation at 2:30 AM, I cannot understand Trump's mentality here. I honestly don't get it. Maybe it's because I'm not the most masculine guy in the world, but even when my brothers and I would talk about girls, it never had this kind of sinister edge to it. It was either hyperbole or dumb shit, but never anything like "grab 'em by the pussy!" Or any talk about kissing/touching them without consent.

So, when Trump tries to dismiss it as just locker room banter, I'm legitimately baffled. Do other guys think/talk like this for real? Is this actually normal and I'm an outlier?

I'm 99% sure that Trump is simply a monster, but it got me wondering. Because if guys are more like him than I assumed, then holy shit ladies, I'm so, so sorry.

About time for WikiLeaks to poop in Hillary's mouth again . . .

We didn't. I played football for a couple of years in high school, and don't get me wrong, we talked shit -- "conquests" and whatnot. But bragging was restricted to voluntary ass, not this semi-rapey thing -- and the most of it was bullshit spewed by kids wanting to appeal to peers, and peer-pressure. "You gotta make your move", that sort of thing.

Reading Min's article, I can only say that that woman's husband is a much better man than I am, because I'd have worked him over like my last quarter. Don't fuck with my woman and don't fuck with my money, 'cause shit'll get ugly right quick.
