I saw it work on Barbara Boxer's first run for the junior Californian US Senate seat with the October surprise that her opponent went to a strip club. By then we all knew of JFK's White House secrets. Since that time the tactic always failed but I guess is still tried in a death from a thousand cuts strategy until Roy Moore was accused of being with children and it worked..

It will not end his presidency.

While our pastor is certainly more lukewarm about him. The right side of the aisle will happily sell their soul for the supreme court picks, yes including churchgoers who were all over Clinton on his womanizing.

As for the payoffs. Meh nothing will happen.

In a world where everyone has a smart phone and security cameras are everywhere, I find it difficult to believe there's not something of the two of them together.

The smarter move would have been to admit the affair, he won the election already, the damage she could have done would have been minimal. After all it happened before the election, while he would be guilty of cheating on his Wife, it's hardly a crime. Now if proof comes out he did have an affair, he would be guilty of lying to everyone, isn't that what they attempted to impeach Bill Clinton on? Bill Clinton survived probably because he had a lot of political allies, can Trump say the same?
Nah -- this isn't the good ole days. This is 2018 -- we just accept our politicians to be lying, cheating, cads.

Why is he lying about it in the first place?

It worked because it was true. The accusations were credible, no one had to make up anything for a witch hunt.

I wish someone like Larry Flynt would agree to pay Trump on Stormy's behalf. Lets get the full story out and see those pictures or videos. I hope it is something like Trump in a diaper, rubbing his penis with a Big Mac while Stormy urinates on his head. Well maybe not a Big Mac, more like a Jr. Cheeseburger or a McNugget for those tiny 'hands'.

Imagine Baron when he finally reads about all of these things on the internet. He’s going to find out he’s the reason daddy slept with Stormy Daniels. There is going to be a lot of guilt, shame, and anger he’ll have to work through even though none of it was ever his fault. This is Trump for you.

I just posted on another thread how nobody has been mentioning the affect on Baron.

And always has been.
I remember reading reports about how the older kids felt back when he was running around on Ivana.
He didn't care then, why would he have cared after Baron was born?

For it to make a difference with the base, it would have to carry more weight than liberal transgressions such as what their press drug us through with the invented Michael Brown scandal.

Because an affair with a hooker is not more damaging to this nation than that, it is therefore functionally inconsequential insofar as popular political support of Trump is concerned. And rightly so.

I know that she is a fabulous liar and spinner; I give her credit for that and Trump should too. Can you imagine getting out there and doing her job?

I've often thought that press secretary would be a stressful job - but being Trump's press secretary takes it to a whole new level.
