Reasons I cannot vote for Trump

[SK in CV]

The fact that he still has support from anyone is astounding. This happened just a few months after he married wife #3. His wife was pregnant.

“I’ve gotta use some tic tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says.“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,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
“Whatever you want,” says another voice, apparently Bush’s.
“Grab them by the pussy,” Trump says. “You can do anything”

And before anyone suggests that it’s fake, it didn’t happen, it was taken out of context. It wasn’t. It’s on tape. He’s already apologized for it. Said it was just “locker room talk”. I have three brothers. I can’t count the thousands of hours I spent in locker rooms. I never heard anyone talk like that. But I guess, if you were ok with “Mexicans are rapists”, banning muslims, birtherism, encouraging Nazis, there isn’t much problem with saying physical abuse of women is no biggie either.

Well, I have heard locker room talk like that…back in high school. Not since then. And now that I think about it, Trump does act a lot like a high schooler, doesn’t he?

I’ve never heard anyone talk like that. Too sheltered? Female? In any case, when I saw the video I was truly amazed and shocked. How can I be shocked when this should be expected? But I was.

Will others also be shocked? I would really really hope so. Wonder what bg thinks? And others like her?

its kind of lame locker room talk. he doesnt sound like a normal dude.

I guess Republicans can defend this like Washington State Republican Party Chair Susan Hutchison did, “Trumps comments were made when he was a Democrat”.

I must say – Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kaisich and their campaigns are a bunch of losers! There was so much dirt on Donald out there and they were just sleeping throughout the primaries…

None of this is dirt to core Republicans. Rush Limbaugh has been telling them for decades that this sort of thing is only an issue when the other team does it.

The level of decorum is typical for a military barracks – at least it was 30 years ago.

But he does have an awkward way of doing it.

Trump is one those people that gets a pass. He can create the perception that he has some redeeming quality that overwhelming compensates for all of the obvious negatives. He’s just “likable” to many people and that’s enough. Hillary on the other hand is not likable, so negative stories stick much better. The right-wing media plays on this phenomenon (although it didn’t work with Obama because he was likable.)

Trump supporters will dismiss this as “boys will be boys.” Hillary doesn’t get the privilege.

FIH, my opinion on Hill’s fitness for POTUS has nothing to do with “’til death do us part” or even whether Bill and Hill had an agreement to have an open marriage from day one. I don’t even care about that. It’s based upon all the public humiliation over decades that she CHOSE to repeatedly suffer at the hands of Bill and the adverse effect it had on her in every way, shape and form. [/quote]

Well now. You’ve supported Trump because, in your words above, you can’t support someone who let themselves be humiliated repeatedly. again, your words, I don’t agree with the humiliated label.

If that is so, then how on earth can you support someone who does the humiliating? See SK’s quote below.

Trump admits he is hitting on a woman he knows to be married, while his own wife his pregnant! And fingering women, while is wife is pregnant, because he knows he can get away with it! Come on BG, you either have to quit supporting Trump right now or have yourself labeled as the biggest hypocrite ever.

I can understand men supporting Trump. They don’t like PC and the end of the boys will be boys era.

Now I wonder how the wives of Trump supporters feel about Trump and their own husbands. I think that Freud may have a psychological explanation as to why wives defer to their husbands. 2 words that start with with a P. I won’t say it because it would be terribly sexist.

Oh wait, maybe I should be like Trump and say it after I said I wouldn’t say it.

Is anyone actually surprised by this latest? Trump was already sitting on mounds of racist misogynist crap that made him, or should have made him unelectable and yet here he is, still in the running for POTUS.

[scaredyclassic]

i moved on her like a bitch?

what?

thats not a phrase.

sounds like michael scott trying to be normal with todd packer but failing.

this actually makes trump more sympathetic to me.

Because of at least 60% of the Republican Party and about 40% of the population.

How does the GOP suffer this constant humiliation? What adverse effect is choosing to stay with their champion having on them?

Not good for the Republican Party. Girls study harder. They’re getting more college degrees. Women are bringing home the bacon. The power of women will only grow.
