Another day, another woman discloses Trump's piggish behaviours. What names will he call her?

One of these?

I take no notice of anything Trump says. With a pathological liar, that's the best policy IMO.

Good on him. Maybe then false allegations by women will actually be taken seriously...but who am I kidding, feminists run the court.

:lol:

False accusations are being taken seriously and feminists don't "run the court". Only a tiny minority of rapists are ever formally accused, and only a tiny minority of the accused are convicted.

I think there's an argument for providing anonymity to men accused of rape but not convicted. That wouldn't protect Trump until criminal charges were bought. It's a very tricky issue with good arguments on both sides and I don't think there's a good answer.

I really think it is over for the denigrator-in-chief. And amen to that. It has been a sad chapter in American politics, or to use the DIC's favourite word, his behaviour has been "disgusting".

don't be overoptimistic, a lot can still happen between now and the time POTUS is installed in the white house next January.

They tweet all that nonsense despite his approach... the orangutan doesn't have 1/9999999 (probably an understatement) of the humbleness he displayed.

in today's America, humbleness is closer to being a sin than a virtue.

Latest Polls - Real Clear Politics

Combined Clinton 41, Trump 36, Johnson 7, Stein 3. Clinton +5.

Taking this at face value Trump is significantly behind for this very late stage but not put away by any stage of the imagination.

Trump's demise has been wrongly predicted for 15 months
Polling has understated nationalist sentiment in Brexit and were wrong about the Columbia peace treaty vote
The sharp decline in respondents and the internet has created issues for the polling industry
The Problem With Polls Surveys have become less trustworthy but they still play a critical role in elections.
People vote with thier pocketbook. The sharp increase predicted in Obamacare premiums could be the October surprise.
I have found in life the later an underdog is not put away the greater chance of an upset. A candidate running a the campaign Trump has by all conventional political wisdom should be behind by a bare minimum of 15 points.

So as they say seeing is believing. A Trump victory would not shock me, I got over bieng shocked by Trumps popularity a long time ago. I would not be totally shocked the other way, the Hillary landslide most have expected all along actually happens. To many new factors and variables to be sure about anything this year.
