    Donald Trump speaking about the woman who accused him of inappropriate touching on a plane.

    “Yeah, I’m gonna go after her,” he said sarcastically at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. “Believe me, she would not be my first choice. That I can tell you. You don’t know. That would not be my first choice.”


    • Seems he is the sickness plaguing our politics, as well as HRC. We currently have two Republicans running for office.instrmntl

    • This is pretty big. Likely why there's such a consorted effort to deny the presidency to an outsider.IRNlun6

    Might have 20-30 women speaking out about trump by the time the election gets here. He should just drop out and disappear somewhere. Its impossible for him to get to 270, and this is just getting worse and worse for him by the day.

    Im not even sure anyone is going to want to do business with this guy ever again. All of us know he is REALLY regretting running for president. Im certain this is not what he expected. He probably thought at worst this was going to be excellent brand building for him, and the exact opposite happened. He's the white Bill Cosby.

    • Can you imagine how many women have been groped by him over the span of what, 40ish years?monkeyshine
    • Bill Clinton was at one point the most powerful man in the world, allegations followed him for his entire career. Trumps only started when running for presidentIRNlun6
    • not at all true, IRN ... Trump has been plagued with this kind of shit for years, and he's got an impressive record of out-of-court settlements to prove itmonospaced
    • not saying Bill doesn't, btw, but you're right on that, it's not really anything new for himmonospaced
    • Thought somebody said he started the campaign to make money. Cuz he's broke.pango

    If these were just women randomly saying this, it would be sort of easy to dismiss it. The thing thats killing him here is he is on tape saying himself that he does these things. I mean we didnt even have that with Bill Cosby lmao. So that legitimizes everything these women say and we have to take it seriously, just because of the fact that he admitted he does this on tape.

    • The tape does hurt him. It raises suspicion but it does not make him guilty of it.IRNlun6
    • Key word in the tape is "let", but irrelevant in court of public opinion.IRNlun6
    • These allegations would be more credible if they weren't made 3 weeks before an election. Which is why they should be vetted.IRNlun6
    • maybe they felt like they had to wait for the right time to tell their stories, for fear that they wouldn't be heard otherwiseFax_Benson
    • Hadn't some of these allegations been made previously?Fax_Benson
    • it all reeks of incredible accusations, from both sides, exactly because it's being used as political foddermonospaced
    • Maybe, but that seems coincidental that they all waited for the right time to tell their stories.IRNlun6
    • agreed monoIRNlun6
    • it's incredible how people are latching onto THIS kind of shit, of all things, as if it were somehow bigger than other shitmonospaced
    • and while trump is actually somewhat believable as the kind of asshole who is like this, going after bill seems so pettymonospaced
    • its just the icing on the cake - if people decide not to vote for him based on hearsay but happily vote for his non-existent policies / allround cuntishfadein11
    • behaviour that is strange... the issue is how he even became the rep candidate - how did that even happen? because a lot of people are sick of the currentfadein11
    • system... amazed a cunt like him didn't rise after the 2008 crash where the real downturn happened - things are getting better over there no? or perhaps not.fadein11
    • I think the hope that Obama represented and the ultimate let down is what helped propel Trump. His support does not come strictly from the right.IRNlun6
    • A few other things Obama represented also helped propel Trump, sadly, starting with the birther movement and going from there.monospaced
    • nope it doesn't, but the centre ground support are the ones who will likely ditch him if the shit storm continuesfadein11
    • One word sums up Trump:
      Megalomaniac
      utopian
    • They're coming out now because he was caught on tape and then said "locker room"...not who I am...I have never done that to women. He caused this.monkeyshine
    • I don't know why they didn't call it "pillow talk". Besides, what people do in their own RV is their own business.

    Interesting read considering comments in the post before. And the title doesn't mean its pro trump.... despite the prevailing idea anything not pro clinton must be pro trump. Its more of a critique on the media and points out some biases and questions, where was the investigative journalism in the primaries, and questions what is the role a bit.

    Personally I think this topic could go deeper too and question narratives from previous years like campaign fiancing and how its hardly mentioned this year. And really dig into the narratives media paints.

    • I thought it was anything anti Trump is pro Clinton.fadein11
    • Or that too. People seem to hear whatever they want. I cant tell what people read into anymore

    The 2016 electoral map is collapsing around Donald Trump

    Forget Virginia. Or Colorado. Or lots of other traditional swing states. Right now, Donald Trump's campaign is in such bad free fall, states that haven't voted for a Democrat in generations are suddenly coming into play as the Republican nominee's path to 270 electoral votes collapses all around him.

    Over the past 72 hours, polls have come out in Alaska, Texas and Utah that show Trump narrowly ahead of Hillary Clinton. That comes on top of data that suggests Republican-friendly states likes Arizona and Georgia are already a jump ball between Clinton and Trump.

    That's absolutely remarkable when you consider the historic trends in those states. The last time a Democrat won Alaska was 1964, when Lyndon Johnson carried it over Barry Goldwater. Texas hasn't voted for a Democrat for president since Jimmy Carter eked out the state in 1976. In Utah, like Alaska, LBJ is the last Democrat to win.

    The possibility now exists for a historic election realignment along the lines of what we saw in 2008 when then-Sen. Barack Obama claimed victories in places like North Carolina, Virginia and Indiana — states where no Democrat since Carter or Johnson had won. Simply put: Trump is not just in danger of losing, he is in danger of causing a fundamental reorganization of the electoral map that could set back Republicans for a number of future elections.

    “I suppose Old Man Trump knows just how much Racial Hate he stirred up.” Woody Guthrie

    Trump's father made an impression on Woody Guthrie in 1952, who was writing about his former landlord two years after he moved out of the Beach Haven housing project for veterans in Brooklyn, New York.

    Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee in 1954 for profiteering from public contracts, including overstating the building charges on Beach Haven. Those hearings led to Beach Haven tenants suing Trump for inflating their rents.

    It wasn't until 1973 when the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit against the Trump organization for refusing to rent to black people. The lawsuit ended in 1975 with a consent decree ordering Trump to seek racial diversity among his tenants.
