I agree.

Seems like he realized there was no way he could win after the first debate.

If you believe polling. He gained points on Hillary, through all the dirt thrown his way. That is remarkable.

I can't find a scientific poll that shows Trump has gained ground.

The OP has correct identified this issue as being important.

Other than that, the OP has likely not increased the likelyhood independent non-commited voters will pick Trump.

It has been my contention that starting threads like this one only decreases Trump's chances.

They only further drive independents away.

RCP shows a slight increase for trump today and a minor decrease for clinton ( but still a large lead for clinton ).

I believe there are many voters out there who see Trump as being unfairly attacked. Many see the news media attack on trump as a lot of crap. We should all ask ourselves why didn't any of these attacks surface during the republican primary? Secondly, even after some of Clinton's speeches have been revealed that are pro Wall St the news media continues to play them down while emphasising Trump's alleged incidents.

It's clear that Trump is a fall guy and as such many voters will vote for him.

Yes intelligent adult Americans but see that's just wishful thinking. Realistically, bigotry is a very powerful toxin and people will eat up his crap because they think it's okay because he is just being honest.

Let's hope that you are right but a lot of neurotypicals are dense.

The delusion is so thick with you folks that we could cut it with a knife and serve it up like cheesecake.
I don't know how inappropriate touching has anything to do with normal sexual urges. I can have those same urges at times that a man can but I am able to restrain them in the presence of the man getting me going. Of course I guess in my case I hate being the center of attention so that helps but sexual urges or not you can definitely have self control in that case.

trump? not so much.

why am i coming back to this thread...argh...step away from the computer beachie...step away....
That's what it is. Bill Clinton may have been a dirty guy but he was a lot more likeable. Everything that comes out of Trump's mouth that I've seen was filth. You could also joke about him easier so he was more of a good sport.
The state of the country was also better under his presidency.

I agree with you and it really makes me mad and envious because I'm a very honest person sometimes brutal but I can't get away with it because I don't have the lifestyle to. Somehow a rich bigot gets away with more than a brutal but well meaning lady.

It's disgusting how the media and Democrats have portrayed Trump as a "Sexual Predator" to drive voters away from him, where in fact, he is honest and he admitted his wrong after that audio of him surfaced over 2 weeks ago, unlike Clinton who is trying to hide every bit of evidence behind the information that was in the emails that were recovered on her "server" after they were erased, and God knows what else were in the emails that were completely, and intentionally erased by the "bleaching" process, and cannot be recovered. It's obvious that she and her staff were trying her best to hide something.

Her supporters just can't see through her that she is deceitful and cannot be trusted. And this is only the tip of the iceberg, she proved her incompetence over 4 years ago when the US embassy in Benghazi was attacked and 4 people were killed as a result, the problems with the Clinton Foundation, her lies and inconsistent stands on various political issues, where she would tell an audience one thing, and contradict herself by telling a different audience the opposite, just to win the votes of the people she's speaking to.

Her supporters will not pay attention to those critical issues with Clinton, instead it's easier for them, and some Republicans, to focus on some lewd comments Trump made 11 years ago that have no relevance to solving the issues our country faces.

Maybe but in that case he had to be honest when the evidence was there. It could be part of his strategy.

Exactly.
