Will the Trump 2005 sound bytes change minds?

Well there's currently a slew of unendorsements.

"In Their Own Words: Senior GOP Figures Rescind Trump Endorsements, Call On Him to Drop Out"

Sen. Kelly Ayotte
Sen. Mike Crapo
Sen. John Thune
Rep. and Senate candidate Joe Heck

"Even before Mr. Trump’s 2005 comments came to light, internal Republican polling showed him rapidly losing ground among three groups that had long been wary of his candidacy: independents, women and voters with college degrees.

That slide is likely to accelerate now, Republicans said, potentially sending voters fleeing toward Democrats or convincing them to simply stay home on Nov. 8 Either outcome would be ruinous for Republican candidates beyond the presidential race."

I bet they do because it has been some of the Republican turncoats who don't like an "outsider" to be in their "Club of Elites".

It wouldn't bother me to vote for another Republican as long as they are NOT one of the Elites. That's one of the reasons Trump got where he is and that is why Cruz lost.

"Grab Them By The P***y" - Donald Trump

LOL

I don't see anything going on here but the rich being rich and doing what rich people do. Don't judge it if you can't for sure say you wouldn't enjoy having a lot of money too. There are fewer consequences for the rich, I would take advantage of what I could too in his shoes, included being some what of a dick. Outside of that point, that is disgusting and I don't support it, but this kind of immaturity comes from being really really rich.

Aren't you at all bothered by the things he said?

"Unidentified voice: She used to be great. She’s still very beautiful.

Trump: I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f**k her. She was married.

Unidentified voice: That’s huge news there.

Trump: No, no. Nancy. No this was— And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’ I took her out furniture– I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything. She’s totally changed her look.

Bush: Sheesh, your girl’s hot as s**t. In the purple.

Trump: Whoa!

Bush: Yes. Yes, the Donald has scored!

Trump: Whoa!

Bush: Whoa, my man!

Unidentified voice: Wait, wait you’ve got to look at me when you get out and be like ... will you give me the thumbs up? You’ve got to put the thumbs up.

[crosstalk]

Trump: Look at you. You are a p**sy.

[crosstalk]

Unidentified voice: You’ve got to get the thumbs up. You can’t be too happy, man.

Trump: Alright, you and I will walk down.

[crosstalk]

Trump: Maybe it’s a different one.

Bush: It better not be the publicist. No, it’s her. It’s her.

Trump: Yeah, that’s her, with the gold. I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. I just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Unidentified voice: Whatever you want.

Trump: Grab them by the p**sy. You can do anything."

This is a really good reason for people to unendorse him. This on top of every other offensive thing he has said should drive all respectable people away from supporting this guy. This kind of immaturity doesn't belong in the highest office in the country.

would be difficult to get a new candidate on state ballots according to some law professors and those more informed than this righter.

Actually most are more informed than this writer.

"Ah for the days trump was only part of a card game." Said me shuffling the cards, spreading them across the table.... and then getting them to turn over, with a "slight tilt" of one end of the spread.

On another Thread I posted that SNL - Saturday Night Live would be the winner.

I watched them in the 70's with the original cast, and then stopped for a long time. 8O

I'm watching now.

I haven't been able to watch the debate since I had to work, but I did see this part -

Trump to Hillary: You Fear Me as Pres., Because You Know You’ll Be in Jail. http://tiny.iavian.net/csla

Sounds like a good time! I'll have to be sure to watch it in its entirety. :mrgreen:

Amazing.

These threats to jail the opposition are not in keeping with America's values or traditions. Some of Trump's fans seem to want to live in Brazil or Chile. Banana Republicans?

It's as if neither Trump nor a significant number of his supporters was familiar with the Constitutional role of the President or the functions of the Executive Branch.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc ... cy/503516/

Quote:
This is not how special prosecutors work. There are a number of legal mechanisms for the appointment of special counsel by the attorney general, all designed to allow for investigations of executive-branch officials free from the threat of political interference. Trump proposed the opposite: directing his attorney general to appoint a prosecutor to go after a political rival who he’s publicly said should “be in jail.”

This is not how the presidency works. When Richard Nixon tried to interfere in an ongoing investigation, Attorney General Elliott Richardson resigned. And even if Trump could find a more malleable attorney general, and discard precedent, he’d still lack the power to jail Clinton unilaterally. Presidents are not in charge of the law, but of its faithful execution.

This is also not how democracies work. Elected officials do not jail their foes. The Constitution specifically prohibits bills of attainder—legislation designed to punish individuals, thereby circumventing the judicial process—to bar despotic rulers from persecuting their opponents. The jailing of political opponents is a feature of repressive dictatorships, not vibrant democracies.

People forget, but it took Athens three attempts before democracy took. The first time they ended up moving towards an oligarchy and the second a tyranny. In both cases the oligarchy or tyranny won by a vote, eliminated the opposition through the democratic Athenian law itself, and with no opposition propped up their own form of government. Democracies aren't unbreakable, in fact they are easily breakable, the only defense is a populace that's well informed-- so bring on the tyranny I guess.

Trump threatened an independent prosecutor, congress should of set one up regardless but of course none of these crooks want to be truly held accountable for their actions. There should be a permanent special prosecutor office overseeing congress and all branches of the federal government. Trump wouldn't need a special prosecutor to go after Hillary but it is an option to fend off the accusations of going after his political rivals. Hillary is a criminal and needs to be held accountable if this country is to have rule of law, our democracy couldn't be a bigger joke with such a corrupt individual possibly becoming the most powerful person in the world. It is clear that the FBI bent to political pressure and that the Justice Department were never serious in their investigations of Hillary, their immunity deals deliberately prevented a real investigation from taking place.
