Unfortunately this country can't come up with any one any better ... we have made our bed.

Some one other than me said this, however, I haven't been able to find and give proper credit to 'em since I saw it and read it ... "If a society wants a moral and ethical government, they must raise one."
I've also heard it said that the most moral and ethical person would be hard pressed to stay that way, when given a position of power as the temptation is great. I believe that to be true, too.
So yea --- I don't know if it will ever get any better than this, though I try to remain optimistic.
"Trump’s alleged misconduct came to a head and nearly derailed his presidential campaign after the Washington Post published a 2005 recording of him bragging about groping women without their consent. “Grab them by the *****,” Trump is heard saying in the recording. “You can do anything.”"
No where in the recording did he say, without consent. No matter how inappropriate, he was referring to how celebrities can grab em and women don’t care, they will let them. But you know that. Like so much spin on Trump words are added that were never said

Yea, see, that's the thing. I'm old. Old enough to remember the 80's. The Trump 80's too. And Trump in the 80's and the people not liking the Trump in the 80's.
I think we were still spinning out from the 60's sexual revolution ... still
If you still think that his behavior is appropriate, just know women ... Men can make women's skin crawl, women just don't react to it, that's all. It is a defense mechanism. We still know a pig when we see one. So yes, he is still going to have a problem with women's votes.
See that's the thing about the 2016 election. Two of the most disliked people in America ran for POTUS and one of them won. That says a lot for how we're doing and it isn't good.
However, in the 70's as a teenager I listened to preachers preach how America would one day fall. Could be .. it's time. We've certainly lasted longer than Rome.
I know if Trump keeps going willy nilly like he's doing, playing with fire, the u.s is liable to get burnt; interesting enough there doesn't seem to be a darn thing any one can do about it, but watch it happen.

The lefties know that. It's just that this is all they've got.

It's par ... this isn't left or right, nor an R or a D ... this is us and how we see things differently now, than we did say, as little as 35 years ago
"“My campaign is not going to let Donald Trump try to normalise himself,” vowed Hilary Clinton, Trump's Democratic opponent in the US presidential race, during her election campaign. There were particular concerns around his comments about women, for instance – with fears that it would lead to a greater acceptance of misogyny.
<snip>
Research in recent years has found that many other behaviours and attitudes can be normalised with apparent ease – and not only in politics. In every realm of our lives – whether it's at work or at home – normalisation can have a complex but hidden influence on our beliefs and decisions."
If Trump would have run for president at any other time in our history, he would not have won, based on his character alone he would have been disqualified.
Will be pale in comparison to the "Dem Party nominee too liberal for the centrists who might vote for the Dem" problem.
The middle who can go either way on the voting will look at the crass narcissist they know vs. the guy promising huge tax increases and "free" everything, hold their nose, and vote orange again.
Despite the decent economy so far, President Donald Trump has a woman problem.
How does he fix this?
White men are not the only group that can help him.
All the women I know are Trump supporters, as they do not want to be led back to medieval times through liberalism, like their friends, the Muslims, would like to do.

Just the fact that Trump even acknowledges this, means he is ok with it. Thats what he meant. Growing up with a silver spoon in his mouth and his father giving him millions. He is one of those, Im entitled to it.
