Maybe Trump's next reality TV show should be named "The Casting Couch".

I fully agree that locker room talk is one thing, but we are talking about another thing.
You nailed it, Myghost.

Can't 'rep' you enough.

For most two-toothed, male Trump supporters sexual assault is the only sex they get outside the immediate family and cousins so they are easily confused.

And said something along the line of:

... and I moved on her. Very heavily...

...I moved on her like a b****. I couldn't get there and she was married...

...And all of a sudden I see her. She's now got the big phoney t*** and she's totally changed her look..."

I said that me, or any of my friends would NOT tollerate that, and that we would not let it rest. (My whole point was that I understand and accept that "locker room 'talk' happens", but that what the Donald did went WAY beyond what is acceptable.) Ready my post.

I think the sex talk should be left in the bedroom and we need to get back to the actual issues at hand.
Wouldn't it be nice if the mudslinging stopped and the American people could make choice based on policy and what a candidate will bring to help America?
Do you even understand consensual and non-consensual? Everytime someone points out to you that Trump bragged about forcing himself on women, you go back to other people being womanizers. Did these other guys brag about grabbing women's private parts without their consent?

First off, we realize that if Hillary were doing better in the polls, this crap on Trump would never have surfaced. I think they realized how sick it would be but so saved it as a backup, just in case.

I was surprised that so many could have "virgin" eyes and ears and have access to television and the internet.

Personally, I find the highly sexualized nature of our society disgusting. Years ago I saw a documentary that was talking about junior high kids having oral sex in the school library for kicks. We cut the TV cable off 8 years ago. I watched the youtube of the Roseanne show where she interviewed Paula Jones who detailed what Bill Clinton did. Sexual addiction? Not good and rampant.

I cannot defend what Trump said but I don't think it will have any impact on how he will serve as POTUS. He appears to be able to keep "it" in his pants and concentrate on business at the appropriate times unlike a previous POTUS or two.

On Trump, "Sticks and stones................" How can he be prosecuted on words and the other candidate not prosecuted on actions?

I do not like Donald Trump and am a female, but I have to say that was my thought too his stupid locker room talk did not upset me that much . However as I have posted before, the interview that he had with Howard Stern in 2005 in which he admits to deliberately walking in on the contestants of his beauty pageants while they were getting changed bothered me. He is in a position of power over them and it is not respectful and maybe not even legal to walk in on them undressed.

How many times in this thread has it been suggested that we shouldn't pay attention to or believe what Trump has said?

I will admit I was an unlikely a supporter of Trump from the time he first started making noises about running. But periodically, I have attempted to understand Trump's position on subjects like Foreign Affairs and the Economy only to be told by Trump surrogates after Trump spoke that I shouldn't listen to what Trump said, that Trump doesn't actually mean it and wouldn't do what he just said.

Now we have the case of Trump's treatment and assault of women in his own words and again its suggested that I shouldn't believe his own words; that Trump wouldn't actually do these things.

When Trumpettes thought Bill was the target, it was deplorable and needed exposed. He isn't even running for office. Now it's Trump, and we shouldn't discuss it. Hysterical!

Trump wasn't in a 'locker room' when he said these things... just sayin'.

And, if I heard correctly, the reason this came out when it did is because Billy Bush bragged about it to some colleagues after recently starting his new gig on the Today Show. Someone realized that the footage was probably still somewhere in the Access Hollywood archives and decided to see if they could find it.

So, no 'conspiracy theory' that someone 'sat' on it till now.
