I just heard that apparently his camp is going back and forth on bringing up this issue. I honestly can't believe it is even being considered. There is NO political capital there. He gains not ONE extra vote by talking about that. Not only does it highlight his own indiscretions, it turns Hillary into a victim. Beyond that, it makes him look desperate, just like the Clinton camp looks when they talk about nonsense over policy issues. Hillary is a deeply flawed candidate with an AWFUL record. He can beat her on legitimate points. I just don't get this desperation move by the Trump camp. Even having the media talk about their considering to bring up this makes them look desperate. There is NO UPSIDE to focusing on this issue!

He needs to distance himself from whoever in his camp giving him the awful advice of focusing on this. If it's Rudy Guiliani as is being reported, he needs to tell that old decrepit blowhard to kick rocks. Guiliani was laughed off the campaign trail during his own candidacy, why on earth is Trump listening to this guy???

The Clinton camp is getting everything they hoped for after that debate, they couldn't have written a better script. With one off-the-cuff, 15-second dig, Clinton managed to create another line of attack and her media vultures gladly took the bait. (So did Trump unfortunately.) It just feels like the Trump camp is spiraling right now. Last week he had all the momentum. What a difference one debate makes

I don't know where you heard that, but I'd be surprised if he says anything about Bill's Excellent Adventure. The idea was to get attention by making the threat.

As for the difference one debate makes, don't forget there are more coming. It ain't over til its over.

Trump needs to stop falling for Hillary's bait. Trump should have a laser focus on the issues because Hillary won't win on those. If she thought she could win on issues, she wouldn't be rolling out old beauty pageant queens that make sex videos and associate with drug kingpins.

But Trump has very little self-discipline. People didn't give a crap about Bill's philanderings in the 90s and they don't now. Not only that, but Trump isn't exactly Mr. Monogamy himself.

And yet he keeps going up in the polls - http://graphics.latimes.com/usc-pres...oll-dashboard/

A Connecticut radio station I listened to on the way to work this morning was analyzing how the post-debate online polls in CT were all solidly Trump and their fears that CT appears to be in play this election. States don't get much bluer than CT, but even liberals get tired of their property taxes going up every year.

Who knows?

Not really sure raping someone is considered just an affair.

All he had to do, is get the media talking about it.

If I was Trump all I would talk about is trade and immigration.

I don't think Trump killed anyone.
