If you want the moral high ground you can't condone Trump's behavior and allow him to continue as your standardbearer; yet they can't be honest enough to kick him to the curb...
Trump has uncovered the hate, ignorance, and hypocritical dichotomy of the radical right and held their slobbering subserviance to the light because they refuse to acknowledge their allegiance is as much a mistake as his Presidency.
Lewinsky was a way to prove how he lies. He was impeached for purjery. I bet you still think the South seceded to keep slavery too.

Those still supporting trump after this most recent round of insulting comments by him have truly earned the deplorable label. Congrats trump bots, you have officially earned the right to be a deplorable citizen!

Wow, this would seem to be a pretty clear indication that the GOP is considering dumping him. Or at the very least, if they can't get him off the ticket, they are not going to do anything to support or promote him. So will he stubbornly remain and sink the entire party? I hope so.

I did not try to defend his remarks. Thought that was clear. Nor will I. As a country though there are much bigger issues. Overriding getting into what is essentially a distractive topic, much like when 13 yo Mitt Romney bullying charges were dredged up in 2012, is the documented danger Mrs Clinton is to the average American and the nations security. My original post.

You want to make a case against that without trying to elevate character flaws to more than they are; essentially insignificant in comparison to the existential threat Mrs Clinton presents. If my house is on fire I am going to choose a womanizing fireman every time over the arsonist who set the fire in the first place to save my house.

So far not a single Trump supporter has been able to do it. I doubt you will, either.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what is being described as a best-case scenario, some political experts are predicting that the Republicans could once again be a viable political party as early as the year 2096.

Davis Logsdon, the head of the University of Minnesota’s political-science department, said on Saturday that the eighty-year time frame for the Republican Party to recover was “admittedly optimistic, but still doable.”

“It’s not going to be easy, and they have very little margin for error,” Logsdon said. “But if they do everything right and a lot of things cut their way, they could be up and running as a somewhat serviceable political party as early as 2096.”

No but he was sued.

I don't think Bill ever admitted to anything. Trump stated what he did to woman, it's already an admission of guilt.

If a woman comes forward now with a lawsuit saying Trump groped her private area, how could he say it did not happen or that he does not do those kind of things.

The only guys that don't care about what he said are those who share the same mindset as him, namely MRA's/Redpillers/PUAs

Yeah, they can't dump him. He can't be forced from the ballot and voting has already started anyway. They really have no leverage over him at all. The only ones that do are likely his children.
