    PS Clinton did run for office and the Democrats and the leftist and the progressives and the socialist all elected him twice with all of his sexual misbehaviors to put it kindly. So we now hold future possible presidents to the same standard don't you think?

    You are correct. All Trump said about his daughter is that she is " hot" and has great tits.

    It also allows crackpots to come out like they do when they confess to crimes they didn't commit. But Trump's threat of being sued should make the next crackpot consider her options wisely.

    No what America has decided it that it isn't going to knowingly elect a self admitted sleeze bucket to the Presidency. A bit different from finding out after you elect someone that they have problems. So funny that the Republicans who were so outraged about Bill's transgressions are now eager to elect a candidate with an even sleazier record. Now that is a real double standard or are you all going to pretend that Trump's record of cheating on every one of his three wives is not a problem for the moral minority.

    Bill Clinton was a good president except for his embarrassing skirt chasing..

    Trump just isn't that smart.. He's not well educated and he has NO finesse.

    But fifty percent of deplorable voters ARE going to be voting for a known liar who's corrupt out the yin-yang because they LIKE that about Hillary.

    Guilty of what? Bill Clinton was impeached and afterwards he and Hillary agreed to pay their acuser 850,000 dollars to stay out of court. Now THAT is evidence.

    What do you expect from a narcissistic pig? Still, he's not that different from Hillary - it's just that when she lies, she gives us that doe-eyed stare and acts innocent and/or ignorant. The difference is merely in how they lie and how well it goes over.

    In fact Bill Clinton lied to thee public, lied to a Grand Jury, was impeached and disbarred. It was far more than "skirt chasing" as you surely must know. You really should look at the victim impact statements and the effect it had on their lives.

    And of course Hillary aided and abetted in all of this.

    IF, in fact, they ARE lying and he didn't actually do the things he is being accused of. Oh, and if they log is verifiable independently somehow, perhaps as being on a computer with a timestamp. Easiest way I can think of for doing that is to make sure you are on security cameras all the time

    However, both you and I know it's really unlikely he didn't actually do SOME of them, and also, the idea that even a billionaire is that careful is stretching it just a little

    Finally, we have to look at whether any lawsuit, brought months and even years after he has lost the election is going to profit him that much. Sympathy is going to remain with the women and no jury is going to impoverish women just because they cannot prove a charge most of them will still see Trump as guilty of.

    Nobody is saying Trump should be jailed, but just maybe not elected as President. Remember that Bill wasn't impeached for getting a bj. He was impeached for lying to a Grand Jury about it.

    It might be stretching it a little, but not a lot. I've read the Enquirer from time to time, these people are crazy(because well, when you've got all the money in the world
    what else can you do.) And that money sometimes ends up becoming a vulnerability. It's unfortunate, but there's a reason we're the #1 sue capital of the world. Donald's just making a point of it lol.

    And maybe he did do some of them, who knows. But if it was a kiss, or whatever. The most I can see them doing is giving him community service lol. If we put everyone in jail who ever 'harassed' somebody, well we'd really have jail overflow more than we do now. We'll have to wait to see how it's going to play out. If this is Trump's karma, couldn't happen to a better guy. If it turns out they're lying, then there's that too.

    will not read this whole thread. One of the problems here, is that these 11 or 12 women may well come from different 'pots' or may jump between multiple pots.. Some may be telling the truth; others may be lying. Some may be opposition 'plants'; others may be entirely self motivated to come forward. Some may be paid to tell lies; some may be paid to tell their story. Trump has a serious problem because his taped remarks mirror the accusations and because in some of these instances there are witnesses that collaborate that these women 'unburdened' themselves within a day or a week of the date of the alleged incident.

    Trump has every legal right to seek redress for slander or defamation. but usually his lawsuit targets are people who can well afford to defend themselves. These are women without the means to hire legal talent and pay it for the kinds of hours and hours of work involved in this kind of litigation and the investigatory prep work. Yes discovery goes two ways, but one of the roads will have a 65 mile an hour speed limit, while the other is clogged in a 15 mile traffic jam.

    Good thing that we as a society and as a people have this custom where sexual assaults and mistreatment on one side get cancelled out if there is any sexual assault or mistreatment on the other.

    It cancels out! And the best part is, you get to switch the topic to the other person automatically!

    Pesky accusations got Trump down? "Hey, what about Bill?"

    All better! Now Trump's behavior is excusable and dismissable and any type of moral weight his actions carried is dissolved! Disappeared! POOF!

    To change the gravity and morality of your actions, you need only point out that someone else did something similar. You never have to feel guilty again or worry about being judged by your peers, friends, family or a court of law.

    But the fun doesn't stop there!

    In addition to your actions being morally voided, you may continue without limit to still use criminal sexual behavior and impropriety as a criticism of the other person! Even though your candidate did it too!

    So remember folks, you haven't done anything wrong if somebody else has done the same type of thing too. A handy trick if you ever get pulled over. Just wait until you see the cop's face when you drop this clever tactic on them! It's the gift that keeps on giving!

    You know there are some posts whose content is just so, well..................ewwwwww! That you feel like it should be only touched by someone in a Hazmat suit

    The underpinning attitude within this post is not, I hope, a social norm or even remotely acceptable to most American men

    And what underpinning attitude is that? Do you have ANY idea how many teenagers act in a prom, not unlike Donald Trump? I mean, I can seriously see it now: Teen, 15 makes unwanted advances on 16 year old teenage girl, spends 30 days in Juvie.

    No, seriously. We have laws, and we have judicial prudence for a reason. We need to keep from being oversensitive while taking issues seriously.

    You know, you're right. And you've finally convinced me not to vote for Bill Clinton this year...

    Do you honestly not see a problem with referring to women as giving "community service" ???

    Someone utterly misread that post. I humbly request you re-read the post and see what it was referring to. What I said, is that assuming the worst of the worst for Trump is mere harassment, they would sentence him to probably a month or two of community service. Which also has less nefarious meaning than you think. It would mean picking up garbage, or helping out with the plants(or farming).

    Degrading for Trump? Yeah, most definitely. But probably a humbling experience for the jackass.

    And maybe because of Hillary Clinton's past she shouldn't be elected President either. But the fact is that one of these people is going to be the next President and of the two Donald Trump is clearly the better choice, despite his shortcomings. None of his flaws approach those of Hillary Clinton.

    That's not what the poster said at all. Why not read the post before you criticize?
