Now just gotta find a tape of her saying that. Then maybe you'll have your "both sides are equally bad" argument.

I'm glad that we can discount everything that doesn't come in video form. It's a good thing that the testimony of multiples witnesses carries no weight.

Truly are any of the same person we were 11 years ago? I know I am not. I got a lot to make up for I guess.
11 years ago he was 59-60. One is pretty set in their ways by that point in life.

Or perhaps her resume of legislative efforts on behalf of women speak louder than unsubstantiated allegations. One of the perks of having a candidate with an actual record of public service.
Trying to spin an analogue to the disgusting crap Trump said is just another way to apologize for him by lessening the gravity of the situation. It's pretty gross, and it's no wonder why this has been the last straw for some high profile Republicans.

Oh, okay. Let me put myself in your shoes for a sec. Any possible wrongdoings in terms of threatening women and attempting to destroy their lives for the sake of political expediency is totes no biggies because her family slush fund did some nice things for people and she did some neato things as a Senator. Got it. Coolio.

"Innocent until proven guilty"
Hillary hasn't even been charged with a crime. Wouldn't be hard to get someone to make a claim on the media. Until they're actually willing to bring forth evidence or legal complaints they are simply that, though. Trump's transgressions are in provable format.

"Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't really work for people who are above the law. But hey, there we have the double standard. In liberal land, rape/assault victims shouldn't be immediately disregarded simply because they don't have proof... unless it involves a Clinton. Then you have to have a team to handle the "bimbo eruptions" before they can destroy Bill's career and pretend that they don't matter down the road unless there's a court conviction and/or a video of the incident.
On the flip side of the coin, we can assume that Mitt Romney never pays taxes and then DEMAND ANSWERS because, uh, Harry Reid said so or something.

Slush fund. Lol. Trump has no record of helping women in any way so his apology rings hollow. He's done. Been so for a while but there's no rebound from this. Cue the incessant whining over media bias and unfair treatment. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Trump being a completely horrid person.

Someone remembered that Trump was often a guest on Howard Stern's radio show. Unfortunately for Trump it was the Washington Post not Pepperidge Farm.
More Trump tapes surface with crude sex remarks
Quote: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, already under siege for vulgar comments about forcing women into sex, also had crude, sexually explicit conversations in a series of radio interviews over the past 23 years, even noting how “voluptuous” his daughter was.
On a new batch of recordings from Howard Stern’s radio shows aired Saturday by CNN, Trump said that he would “have no problem” having sex with 24-year-olds, that he “couldn’t care less” if he satisfies the women he sleeps with, that “it’s checkout time” once women reach the age of 35 and that he had engaged in three-way sex.... It goes on.
Also, defending the indefensible dept....
Washington GOP chair blames Democrats for Trump's comments
Seattle PI
Quote: Washington State Republican Party Chairwoman Susan Hutchison defended Donald Trump on Friday after the Washington Post released a new video in which the GOP nominee was caught having a lewd conversation about women in 2005.
In an interview with KOMO News Radio, Hutchison said the comments made 11 years ago were "repulsive to her" and others, then blamed former President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party.
"He [Trump] was a Democrat at the time and he was channeling Bill Clinton," said Hutchison. "The hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton to say, 'This man does not belong in the White House,' when her husband defined this behavior is just absurd." ...
And that 11 year thing? At 61 I was able to sleep past 8:AM. at 72 I can rarely sleep past 6:AM. Little else has changed.

Well...anyone who goes there is going to end up in a superlewd conversation.
Quote: he would “have no problem” having sex with 24-year-olds This is confusing to me, why should he have a problem with that?
he “couldn’t care less” if he satisfies the women he sleeps with That makes him a bad lover, joke's on him.
he had engaged in three-way sex Great, and..?
“it’s checkout time” once women reach the age of 35 Saevel, is that you?

Sehachan, its the WaPo. People here might argue on just how liberal the rag is but we can all agree its vehemently anti Trump.
Its also Howard Stern, so salacious commentary is to be expected.
As they say on our cop shows, anything you say can and will be used against you.

Ex-Apprentice Producer: ‘Far Worse’ Trump Tapes Exist
New York Magazine
Selected bits:
Quote: On Saturday, Bill Pruitt, a producer on the first two seasons of The Apprentice, claimed that there are “far worse” hot-mic tapes of Trump than the Access Hollywood one that was released on Friday.... On Sunday, another veteran TV producer, Chris Nee – a Clinton supporter who did not work on The Apprentice – tweeted that according to producers and crew members she has spoken with, those tapes include Trump using the N-word....
Nee also claims that anyone caught releasing the footage would have to pay as much as a $5 million leak fee, per their contract with Apprentice executive producer Mark Burnett. Burnett, according to Buzzfeed News, is a Trump supporter and has already threatened to sue Apprentice staffers if they decide to leak outtakes from the show....
Last week, the Associated Press reported that, based on conversations with more than 20 people who worked or appeared on The Apprentice, Trump would sometimes sexually harass women on the show, often while cameras were rolling, suggesting that unedited footage of those incidents almost certainly exists somewhere....

.... I bet $5 we'll be seeing someone issue a Freedom Of Information Act request in a court sometime this week to get those tapes made public. The FoIA only applies to government documents. These are privately held.

If you have 5m to cover a lawsuit, Apprentice producers could leak that apparent n-bomb they have Trump on the record dropping.
I mean team deplorables would eat that ***up but having the RNC nominee go full redneck right before the election is akin to watching the Challenger disaster.

I'm sure Warren Buffet would cover the damages. But what are we watching now..the Columbia disaster?

And as to the why now question:
Three Trump Accusers Cite Anderson Cooper Debate Question in Coming Forward
Slate
Quote: ...
From the New York Times:
When Mr. Trump denied having ever sexually assaulted women, in response to a question from Anderson Cooper of CNN, Ms. Ross said she immediately looked at [Jessica] Leeds in disbelief. “Now we know he lied straight up,” Ms. Ross recalled saying.
From a People magazine story by Natasha Stoynoff:
“Just for the record,” Anderson Cooper asked Donald Trump, during the presidential debate last Sunday, “are you saying…that you did not actually kiss women without (their) consent?”
“I have not,” Trump insisted.
I remember it differently.
And from the Palm Beach Post:
That changed Sunday night. Donald Trump was asked during the presidential debate about when he bragged that he kissed women without their consent and grabbed their genitals – remarks captured on audio that surfaced last week.
Trump apologized for the remarks and dismissed them as “locker room talk.” But the debate moderator, CNN’s Anderson Cooper, asked Trump to clarify: “Have you ever done those things?”
“No, I have not,’’ Trump replied.
Watching at home in Palm Springs, [Mindy] McGillivray said she rose from her couch and yelled at the TV screen: “‘You liar!’’’

Fake rage and fab-rage!!!
You guize r so dismissivez
Quote: US TV network NBC is cutting ties with Donald Trump over "recent derogatory statements" that the veteran businessman made about immigrants.
NBC said the company would now not be airing the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that are co-owned by Mr Trump.
Responding to the announcement, Mr Trump said he would consider suing NBC.
Earlier this month, he accused Mexicans of adding drugs and crime to the US as he announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards, and they tell us what we are getting," he said in his speech on 16 June.
He also pledged to build a "great wall" on the US border with Mexico and insisted it would be paid for by Mexicans.
He later insisted he was criticising US lawmakers, not Mexican people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33321290
I'm honestly surprised with some of the shit he says. Even though I probably shouldn't be.
