I agree with whell on one thing. This won't matter to the people who support Trump. They already know who Trump is and they don't care. And just to make sure his fans understand what's at stake, Trump rereleased one of his greatest hits: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016...te-dna-n661941

No it doesn't. Hell, I was in a family restaurant with my daughter a few weeks ago and a couple of idiots walked in carrying on with a discussion laden with F bombs. Kudos to the owner for telling them to leave. But lots off folks these days seem to have little self restraint.

Do you think we could tell Trump to just leave?

The restaurateur told that group to leave because their behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable. Don't you think that we should hold a presidential candidate to the same standard?

More to the point, this is part of a pattern we've been seeing in Trump for years, from public displays of marital infidelity, multiple allegations of rape, misogynistic public tirades against multiple women, from Rosie O'Donnell to Heidi Cruz, and the public fat shaming and objectification of Alicia Machado.

Because they don't care if they "offend" you and they certainly aren't going to soothe your "political correctness" by letting you tell them what they can say. "This is uh-Merika and I can say what I want, you f**kin' Libtard!"........

Gee, I wonder where they got that from?

Probably the same stupid, shortsighted party that gave us Trump.

So, that was offensive to you, but Trump's comments weren't? WTF? Don't you expect more from a presidential candidate than you do of a couple of miscreants in a family restaurant?

On the other hand, this won't matter a whit to the folks who would vote for Trump, just like Bill Clinton's antics never mattered a whit his supporters. Some of those were ardent feminists who looked the other way and pulled the lever for him anyway.

And those will be many of the same folks who will go to the polls next month and pull the lever for Hillary, who publicly trashed Bill's women in the media, before Bill finally acknowledged the truth later on.

Someone queue Tammy Wynette singling Stand by Your Man.
True..........but fuck Trump anyways. (Speaking of things typically heard in locker rooms and bars.)

It would seem that you frequent some truly lower than low class bars and golf clubs.

I'll be the first to admit I don't like the guy, so there is probably some bias on my part.... On the other hand, if I heard any guy say these same things I would still think the words sound like the words of a predator.
Barbara as a white male who was raised to show women the respect they are due, and as the widower of an honorable, decent woman I was greatly offended.

Words such as his only serve to reinforce this macho image that a young man's manhood is dependent on how many conquests he can make when in actual fact each conquest diminishes his manhood.

How a person feels toward women isn't high on my priority list for the things that need to be taken care of in the oval office. That being said, I don't think Hilary cares one iota about women besides herself either. She just isn't blatant about it. They are both big pretenders and I still haven't decided yet if I can even vote for the POTUS in the looming election with a clear conscience.

That's an easy spin for Trump folk. They look at the first paragraph and say "he's trying to tell them Mexicans to leave, ain't he"? Then they go to the second paragraph and say "change a couple names and you'd be talking about Bill Clinton".

Women make up half of humanity. Any President who discounts half of humanity is not going to solve any problems in our nation.
