Polling from PPP indicates if the election were held today she would beat Trump. But you are right, in the Polls both Biden, and Sanders beat Trump by a even higher level.

Looks don't matter. I am waiting for the DNA test results.
Not that I really think she would ever have one done...

Quit being greedy! The country could use her.
Such an interpretation ignores the basics of the English language. President Trump clearly stated "they let" him do such things. As I had to explain to others in a previous thread, "let" means to "allow," which means to give someone "permission to do something," which means to "consent" to. I find it interesting that narratives to the contrary always exclude the "they let me" remark.

I don't know I think it's possible certainly after the stop Hillary train started in right wing am talk radio in 04 the day after bush got re-elected and picked up steam in 12 when Obama got re-elected. Right wing media destroyed Hillary they were able to radicalized their listerners and eventually mainstreamed the message. The dnc and voters like myself failed to see that and instead ofv accepting that Hillary was too far gone lose that battle. In terms of accepting how good of a job they did in demozing her and just move on.to the next candidate.

After swallowing the camel of language that was part of the last election, people are now expected to strain at this gnat? I thought it was funny, and oddly, somehow more dismissive of foolishness than a more conventional and offensive curse. I may start using it myself.

It's entirely possible that the women "let" him do such things because they were so stunned by his behavior that their first reaction was no reaction at all. Would you feel better if they had slapped him across the face? I probably would, actually, but that's a whole other thread.

Worked perfectly fine actually. 538 gave Trump a 30% chance.

Hey how's that "learning probabilty" working for ya? Or didn't they teach you that in high school?

I repeat: a simple definitional interpretation of President Trump's language shows consent, not some wild sexual assault line being pushed by Dems. Its not so difficult to understand. I get that some don't like our president, but that hardly justifies trying to redefine the meaning of words or pretend that they were never spoken in order to suit one's partisanship; as I mentioned, attacks on President Trump on this front almost always exclude the "they let" me remark.

Are you dizzy?

Here is part of the transcript:

Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Bush: Whatever you want.

Trump: Grab ’em by the *****. You can do anything.

I guess if he said his favourite swear word was 'poop' then his campaign would of been sunk. Eh?
