The apology didn't look or sound sincere to me. I think his only embarrassment was his aides probably telling him he needed to do some damage control.

Bill Clinton's problems really have nothing to do with it.

Which is why we all know it wasn't an apology, but an attempt at an attack ad. "He is worse than me" is not an apology, that is a justification for doing it again.

That sex pervert Trump!

dropped a major hurricane off the front page
and for the whole weekend he has been up
front in the news of the world. Wild eh?

I wonder what the effect would be should the Trump campaign populate the front row of the 'town hall' with Bubba's Basketful of Bimbos(Hiliary's description, not mine). Monica, Paula, Jennifer, etc. etc. etc. might have some interesting questions for Madame Secretary....

I would say that the Trumpster is probably downright giddy with pleasure that he is so talked about.
He craves attention and is getting it in bucketfulls.
If it means a negative to anyone else, he really doesn't care.
All that matters is the spotlight be on Dnoald and feed his narcissistic personality disorder.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a long term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others feelings. People with the disorder often take advantage of their interpersonal relationships. They can be excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and appearance. Those with NPD generally lack awareness into their own condition. The behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a variety of situations

Edit: This thread has had more posts and more views than any Politics in the last 2 years. (Is it an all time record as well?) Are we feeding Donald's menia?

Good news for Angry.Old.White.Sexist.Racist Anti-progressives.
When Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes the next POTUS life will get easier for you.
You'll just have to be Angry.Old.Sexist Anti-progressives.

Who says that life doesn't get easier as you grow older?

a dozen members of the Republican Party

What hypocrites. Which of them have not talked about women in the coarsest of ways at some point in their lives. You can find it in Shakespeare, if only thinly disguised. Admittedly not the best message to go public as part of a presidential campaign.

I see the late-nite, sanctimonious, left wing press clucking their tongues and casting the first stone.

Perhaps this campaign is a sad commentary on what America has become. Sexual misconduct among married spouses, even those that are in the public eye. Political bribery and graft as a way of politics for special interests. Pandering to the disadvantaged while pursuing policies that will ensure that the underclass remains so.

You nailed it there. What man of his age has not casually bragged about sexual assault? And it's in Shakespeare (probably), so that makes it perfectly fine, cos gender roles have not changed over the last four hundred years, right?

Not the best message? Surely it's the perfect message for the anti-PC brigade.

If he's elected POTUS...

Will not quit

...will he try that with Merkel or May?

If DFT is elected he'll let Mike run the country,
and if that backfires he'll say his Mike wasn't working, there was something wrong with him. lol.

lol, or he could reply "Sorry, haven't had my daily dose of Viagra".

Melanie Trump's reply

Some women's view on the matter.

"Earlier this month, the BBC met a group of female Trump supporters in Beverly Hills who call themselves The Trumpettes, to find out why they are voting for the Republican candidate.

When Linda was asked today if her mind had been changed at all by the tape of him making lewd sexual comments emerged, she said it hadn't.

"Most guys have locker room language," she told the BBC. "Hillary Clinton is corruption personified. She uses the poor and naïve public. She absolutely should never become president. She totally uses Saul Alinsky's socialist agenda, which defiles our constitution.

"Trump may have bad language but so does Hillary. Trump wants to rebuild America. Hillary Clinton just uses government to enhance her pockets.""

Any man who says he has never engaged in such a conversation regarding a woman is either a lying hypocrite or Gay(no slur intended). Men are Pigs, this is a well known and admitted fact. Such conversations, as mutual displays of machismo, have taken place between men since before humanity came down from the treetops.

It does not excuse it, it does explain it. He has apologized. Accept it or not as you will.

"Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)>

Caught on tape making shockingly crude comments about a married woman he tried to seduce, Donald Trump declared in a midnight video, "I was wrong and I apologize."

Yet even as he did so, he claimed the astonishing recording was "nothing more than a distraction" and argued his words were not nearly as egregious as former President Bill Clinton's marital affairs.

Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was "beside himself" and his wife was furious, according to a person familiar with their thinking. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to share the private discussion

I wonder which of the two categories you believe I am in, because I will say that I have not casually bragged about committing a sexual assault, and I don't believe any of my male friends have either (and I'll include my father in that group).

Oh, as for the source of the statement, a search engine will show that it's on the official Drumpf campaign site https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/melania-trump-statement, fact checking is easy, almost as easy as shooting the messenger.

Locker room banter is different.
I'm sure that both men, and women, in a an environment with friends express
less than flattering remarks about the members of the opposite sex they know.
Context is everything.
This is DJT expressing his Alpha Male Predatory Practices, in front of
a group of mostly strangers, prior to a business transaction, an interview.
This is DJT's Modus Operandi.
He will never change his way of thinking, it's who he is. A PIG.
If you can't see the difference then maybe you are a lot like him.

edit:
I apologize to the Porcine community since they already provide us with bacon, which is a thankless existence.

Guy so you don't consider sexual assault to be breaking the law?

Yes. It doesn't happen after you strip to your undershirt a sound man has run a microphone cable under your clothes to a radio transmitter with a couple pound battery fanny pack on your belt and had you do a couple of sound checks.

This was intentional, and I wish we could hear how the conversation got on sex, but they might not have been rolling tape then. Maybe it was meant as braggart for the "below the line" crew who he knew could hear the sound feed. In any case someone remembered the PIG's oink and pulled out a master tape from the library.

And i am with Bobby, I don't think I have ever heard another man when bragging say anything about forcing sex on a woman. That might be a fraternity stunt that rich spoiled white males do, but that is another thread.

If what he said was true, that registered sex pervert Trump should be our description for him.

OBW was talking to an acquaintance last night right after they had completed a class on how to register perverts. Suggested Trump should be registered. LOL. But if he has grabbed ----- as described, he would be subject to registration.
