When you think “October Surprise”, you probably thought it would be something related to Hillary. Perhaps her Wall Street speeches, which most Democrats seem to be blowing off, because party before country. Perhaps something from her emails. Something about Bill’s typical sexual assaults and disgusting comments about women. Nope
(Washington Post) Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it,†according to a video obtained by The Washington Post.
The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush, then of “Access Hollywood,†on a bus with the show’s name written across the side. They were arriving on the set of “Days of Our Lives†to tape a segment about Trump’s cameo on the soap opera.
Late Friday night, following sharp criticism by Republican leaders, Trump issued a short video statement saying, “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.†But he also called the revelation “a distraction from the issues we are facing today.†He said that his “foolish†words are much different than the words and actions of Bill Clinton, whom he accused of abusing women, and Hillary Clinton, whom he accused of having “bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims.â€
“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am,†Trump said.
The link has the transcript of the recording, which, for the most part is simply men talk, which can get pretty crude. I’m not going to defend Trump: that’s on him. What man out there can’t say they haven’t had conversations that are like this, or worse? Heck, have you ever heard women talk? My goodness, it can be disturbing what they say.
Let me point out a few things, though. All in all, Trump has never done anything as bad as the Clintons. He has never been continuously accused of sexual assault and rape over decades. He’s never essentially put Americans in harms way and left them to die. Sure, he hides his taxes. Hillary hides everything, including her emails and her speeches. Her scandals would be huge, if she had an R next to her name.
Oh, and then there’s this

That’s right. So, he was speaking Democrat at the time.
This all has implications for Trump. You know the media will beat the drum on a constant basis with this tape. Rep. Jason Chaffetz has withdrawn his endorsement. Rep Mike Coffman (R) says Trump should step aside, as does Rep. Barbara Comstock (R). Senator Kelly Ayotte calls the comments offensive and inappropriate.
This election should have been easy for Republicans. It should have been a cakewalk. The #NeverTrumpers and those of us who were very much against Trump but could still be woo’d warned about the danger of nominating Trump. The question now is “will this resonate with the voters?”
Crossed at Right Wing News.
It’s one thing to talk about what one finds attractive, but most men do not brag about sexual assault. As I said, many far-right males see and treat women as objects.
Trump bragged about being able to freely grope women because he is rich and famous. I wonder how his new bride at the time, Melania, feels about these recent revelations. Maybe she knew all along. Nice Donnie, trying to fuck the married Nancy O’Dell just after you got married yourself.
This will not hurt Trump with his conservative white guy base. Non-deplorable men had long since abandoned him.
What do you call your typings then? LOL
–Billy Jeff Clinton
Trump’s campaign was on a lethal trajectory since the 1st debate anyway. Clinton will win. The Repubs will hold the Senate and the House is theirs for a decade.
Little will change, but it would certainly have been worse with Repub president.
Not only is that little guy who’s more retarded than john a liberal feminist ball-busting woman but a racist bigoted one at that who ass-hammers his grandson –who he refers to as his “little blumpkin”– on a daily basis and is so lonely, his only joy in life is fighting on the interwebs…
Actually they are predicting the GOP to lose the senate and then they can go back to 51 votes and pass all kinds of stuff…..mainly the senate confirms Judges and nominations…..so HRC can load up the government with far left whack jobs…..
I can certainly see why that has Jeffery writing love letters to HRC.
Sabato has it 48 GOP, and 47 Dem with 5 toss ups…..4 of the toss ups leaning Dem and 1 leaning gop…….
If that holds….the Dems take the senate.
Should be fun on Sunday night watching Anderson Cooper discussing pussy.
How shocking –
Jeffty would rather have someone with all of Trump’s flaws re women (Bill committed the actual crimes, but she aided and abetted), plus her own baggage of criminal negligence, incompetence and lack of leadership (not to mention sanity) than someone who makes lewd comments.
I thought “Idiocracy” was fiction.
So let’s see Trump admits to sexual assault but that is just “man talk”
Clinton denies it AND has never been proven to have done anything like sexual assault and HE is the bad guy?
Even without the unveiling of the hidden Trump he was not going to win. Hopefully American’s disgust for him will cause the Senate to go blue again.
Then that will mean confirmation of 2-3 appointments to the SCOTUS.
Then the SCOTUS can rule on illegal gerrymandering. That will put the House back in play.
And Teach yes Teach WAS a registered Democrat at one time, however, he NEVER would have received that party’s nomination to be the POTUS.
You guy’s own him now so enjoy!!!
Apparently most American voters also feel the way Jeffery does.
Apparently the retards do.
“Grab them by the pussy” is not something that men say that is something that sexual predators say. It is something that someone who can only objectify women may not take offense to
Trump has said nothing that I have not heard in almost all doctor’s lounges across the country, especially among Ob/Gyn.
Then we have to remember that Hillary said even worse things about the women her husband raped.
Hillary’s favorite term for her husband, the is yelled through the White House is “dickhead”.
Hillary, behind closed doors curses like a sailor and has said just a bad language as Trump.
The fact is that both candidates are not pure, priest like individuals (I can tell you stories about priest and nuns that would leave your mouth open). I boils down to the fact that if you want our country back and to prosper, then Trump is your man. If you want an invasion of people who are not going to assimilate and many who support a religion (cult) that desires to kill innocent people and that the US will never manufacture another item, and that we will pay excessive taxes and our economy will tank, then vote for Hillary. Oh, Hillary will start WWIII.
dave,
Sure we’ve all heard and said the words “fuck” and “pussy”. That’s not the point. If Trump had seen the woman and said, “I’d like to fuck her”, he’d have been OK. He described his attitude (and actions) regarding sexual assault. He described how it’s his privilege as a “star” to routinely force himself on women. He seemed proud of himself.
I’ve never ever heard men talk this way about sexual assault. And although I have conservative friends and colleagues, I spend little time in conservative environs. Perhaps rape and assault talk are common themes there. Is it?
It has nothing to do with the Clintons.
There is absolutely no reason to think Trump will be able to accomplish the deeds you attribute to him.
Are there enough white men like you to elect Trump? We’ll see. Few women, few Blacks, few Hispanics,
Talk about leftist denial.
This is the problem with the far-right. They think the worst thing about Trump’s comments was his use of dirty words.
That little guy who’s more retarded than john fancies himself an expert on the far-right and blumpkins by the grandson.
Jeff,
Doctors are treated like rock stars in a hospital. I have heard the exact same conversation. Nurses will allow most anything. That is why Bill attacked them in Arkansas. If Trump had said women / are nice the left would have had the vapors.
Now we are in a civil war. Half the U.S. can not stand the other half. Hillary is the worst candidate and will continue the destruction of our way of life. Trump for all his faults will stop the destruction.
Trump said some raunchy things. Wow! Haven’t you? Ever? Killary is responsible for the death of four Americans and then lying about it to their families and the American people. Klepto is an unindicted criminal who, unless the entire government of the U.S. has become as corrupt as the IRS and FBI, will sooner or later be wearing a orange jumpsuit instead of a $12,000 Armani.
We’ll see in Nov if there are enough angry white males to elect Trump. My prediction is no, since he has been systematically alienating any but the most racist, xenophobic and misogynistic Americans. No offense.
The odds are about even for the Dems taking the Senate, but they are trending down as Clinton trends up. The House is lost to the Dems for a generation thanks to brilliant state level gerrymandering.
actually Hoagie he not only said raunchy things he also admitted to being a sexual predator and if that doesn’t seem to bother YOU, well it does for many Americans. His election chances have tanked. They have fallen to about the same numbers as the GOP led Senate has in their approval polls.
It’s really a shame because America could survive with a two party system. They tend to keep each other honest. But for years now I’ve watched the Republicans become “leftist light” until this election actually has a democrat/socialist and a democrat /republican. After all, his entire life Trump was a democrat now they think we real Republicans think he miraculously became one of us over night?
There could be no other outcome when the entertainment, education and media industries were mobilized to insure Killary’s victory.
Sadly, once the left achieves one party rule it will cease being a republic and become a dictatorship for all intent and purposes. No opposition is a hallmark of dictatorship after all. I fully expect the Klinton Kleptocracy to win and take the Congress with them. By 2020 the states will most all be like Cali, also one party. It will be like living in the Soviet Union. Every two years an election and every two years the same results. Just like they’ve done in the inner cities. The left fears a two party system.
Just how did the campaign staffs of Carly Fiorina and Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz and John Kasich not find and have this stuff during the primaries?
We can now count on a far-left Supreme Court Justice, to ‘interpret’ away our First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights away. Hillary Clinton has already said that she’d like to be able to limit political speech, by overturning Citizens United v FEC, and that she’d like to overturn Chicago v McDonald, which held that the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right. Our college campuses are being overrun with ‘speech codes,’ and the left will happily try to extend those to ‘hate speech’ laws. Count on the government to try to restrict the Catholic Church over its non-acceptance of homosexuality.
actually john, he has admitted no such thing. Stop putting words in other people’s mouths and stop making a sexual predator out of a vile mouthed braggart. Joyce McKinney, Jerry Sandusky, Mike Tyson, Roman Polanski and R. Kelly are but a few sexual predators. Trump doesn’t even make the novice list. That’s why nobody listens to you leftists any more. You have a nasty habit of overstating things to make them sound worse than they are. Stick with the truth john, it will serve you better.
And once again you attempt to put it on ME. Yes, john it does bother me that Trump is a vile, filthy mouthed, ignorant pig. Does it bother you that Klinton allowed four Americans to die then lied to their families? Or that she gave cover to her husbands rapes to perpetuate her own political career?
Gripping the nation…

Owebama not only ruined America, he exposed the Republicans in Congress for what they are…enablers. Trump represents the anger and frustration of real Americans who know the Government is corrupt. A few words and even actions will not dilute the rage. And why Democrats could possibly defend and support a Hillary is beyond comprehension!
Hillary’s in a snit because nobody wants to grab her wrinkled old hoo hoo.
Potty Guard types:
Potly right, potly wrong. Working class Americans ARE angry and frustrated with the rigged system that rewards the Trumps and other leisure-class Americans at the expense of our working classes.
Please read: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014_Page2.html#.V_osWYWcHIU
On the other hand Trump is also backed by most of the Hispanic-hating, Black-hating, Muslim-hating, women-abusing, gay-hating, so-called “real” men in America. They want their exclusive white christian privilege back. You know, the good ol’ days before political correctness, when you could grab them by the pussy. You know, 2005. So while most potty guardians will support Trump, the Bernie Sanders supporters, who want to remake government to serve the citizenry, will not.
You see, most real Americans do not hate Muslims, Blacks, women, gays and Mexicans. Most real Americans want to be employed, fairly compensated; their families safe and secure.
Wahoo,
And old Don has been in a snit for decades because it cost him millions every time his wrinkled old hoo hoo touches an underage girl. Fortunately for him he has millions. Any other doughy white boy would have been serving 20 being Tayshawn’s bitch.
Working class Americans ARE angry and frustrated with the rigged system that rewards the Trumps and other leisure-class Americans at the expense of our working classes.
You mean like JFK whose family was worth billions…..John Kerry whose family is worth billions…..You act as if this is only a GOP syndrome because we put Romney out there last election cycle.
Its time for the Jefferys of the world to stop drinking their own sides Kool aide and realize that these assholes YOU ELECT dont help you….dont share your values…..dont pass legislation that helps you in any way…..
What they do is what they have been doing for the last 200 years…..S A Y what you want to hear….then do what they want when elected….
Like Hillary declaring she is for the pipeline despite publicly being against it. Open trade is going to kill Unions and jobs in this country.
But hey you go right on believing the problems with this world are millionaires and billionaires because buddy you have more LEFTIST rich people than righties do and those on the right are much more interested in their own pocketbooks then they are in your lefties billionaire pocket books….
we just understand we share common ground on this one thing……..both getting tax breaks mean better lives for the middle class……You keep baiting and switching……
You care nothing for the middle class….its all about the poor…..because right now the middle class is getting hammered by dodd/frank and ACA….badly…because the poor get subsidies but the middle class do not….everytime anything costs more….the poor pay less….the middle class pay more and this has got nothing to do with taxes……..
On the other hand Trump is also backed by most of the Hispanic-hating, Black-hating, Muslim-hating, women-abusing, gay-hating, so-called “real†men in America.
You are so racist jeffery that their is no follow up dangling participle to attach to that phrase.
I can only surmise that you must be a gay, black Muslim whose boyfriend is Hispanic for you to believe the shit your peddling all the time. Because people support Trump does not mean they hate Women….thats absurd….beyond absurd…..Gays have not been talked about at all during this election….Trump wants to help inner cities and has essentially broken off from the gop by not campaigning for a single republican like HRC and every other Presidential politician does.
No your just full of hate……You loathe White America and only tolerate those whiteys who happen to share your views……
The real racist on this website is you…..And by your definition of trump then all people who support HRC are lairs, thieves, murderers and illegals. Which one are you Jeffery??
Since I don’t support trump at all……where do I fit in…in your warped view of America??
