Republican Congressmen are saying they don't know if doing what he said he did on the tape would qualify as sexual assault... FOR **** SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

From what I've seen on Twitter, it was just Jeff Sessions, and the human poopstain Pat Robertson said it was "macho" to do it too. Just...oh my god.

On Chris Hayes, there was at least one another person who said he wasn't sure, and he isn't a lawyer.

 

[Boom]

Well time to circulate this around Twitter so it gains traction.

God, how I yearn for the day when Pat Robertson's polygrip comes undone and he chokes on his f***ing dentures.

 

[Thundercrack85]

If Pat Robertson were to be struck down by lightning right now I would run into the nearest church and dedicate my life to Jesus.

Correct. This isn't a thread for supporting Trump. There may have been some stragglers here and there but they got chased out.

I prefer to think of people not as anti-supportive of Trump, but supportive of common decency.

This thread is about as supportive to Trump as the BvS general discussion thread was about supporting BvS back in April.

No one was "chased out", but plenty have got themselves banned.

I think some Trump supporters are more "anyone but Hilary" than legitimately liking him.

Also, looks like Trump is an unwitting (????) agent for Russian hackers.

The Russians [newspapers] were quoting two sentences from a 10,000 word piece I wrote for Newsweek, which Blumenthal had emailed to Podesta. There was no mistaking that Blumenthal was citing Newsweek—the magazine’s name and citations for photographs appeared throughout the attached article. The Russians had carefully selected the “of course” paragraph, which mentions there were legitimate points of criticism regarding Clinton and Benghazi, all of which had been acknowledged in nine reports about the terror attack and by the former Secretary of State herself. But that was hardly the point of the story, “Benghazi Biopsy: A Comprehensive Guide to One of America’s Worst Political Outrages.” The piece is about the obscene politicization of the assault that killed four Americans, and the article slammed the Republican Benghazi committee which was engaged in a political show trial disguised as a Congressional investigation—the tenth inquiry into the tragedy......

At a rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump spoke while holding a document in his hand. He told the assembled crowd that it was an email from Blumenthal, whom he called “sleazy Sidney.”

“This just came out a little while ago,’’ Trump said. “I have to tell you this.” And then he read the words from my article.

This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin?

Just as many people who didn't like Hillary and even still don't - would vote for her to keep Trump out.

He is so easily manipulated. Our enemies would have a field day.

What's Newsweek?

I dislike Hillary. That doesn't mean that I am going to support cinnamon Hitler.

Hell, I doubt Hitler could have gotten elected if he was caught saying he likes to molest women. Weimar Germany has higher standards than the GOP.

News magazine.

My dad used to subscribe to it, I remember. I wonder if he still does.

You crazy kids and your printed media.

Technically, Hitler never actually got anything close to a true majority in elections. Instead, he got just enough to bully his way to Chancellor and just started extending his power base there.

And as to people who would normally vote against Hillary now seeming more likely to vote against Trump... I'm honestly very interested to find out what the actual numbers will be on Election Day. As much as there is a strong correlation between vocal political partisanship and getting the vote out, several elections have seen major moves by very quiet voting blocs; Nixon called it the "Silent Majority" when it elected him, and an analysis of Obama's advantages in his race against Romney pointed out that thousands of women from nominally Republican households voted against Romney and for Obama.

I'm from Missouri, which has generally shifted Red State in the last few elections, and I'm from a family that almost uniformly voted Republican. And yet, only my older brother seems likely to vote Trump (one of his mentors was killed by an illegal immigrant in a DUI). My mother did most of the question-answering and informal education that forms a young person's political beliefs; she's why I've generally been a single issue voter. My Dad has been eviscerating Trump to anyone who will listen, and he was my high school government teacher and generally maintained an air of objectivity even at home. One time I was at their house, she was enjoying a video making fun of Trump and then viewing Johnson ads and he was finding a Republican candidate he respected who had outright refused to endorse Trump so he could have a decent write-in. My older sister may qualify as a true moderate, and was clearly never going to vote for Trump at all. My little sister and I both decided back in the primaries we couldn't vote for Trump (and incidentally, the story of my little sister's birth does have some ties to our usual single issue voting.) Most of my teaching co-workers are clearly Republican moderates, and only two out of ten seem to dislike Clinton's policies enough to support "the Republican ticket."

I'm really curious just what the numbers will be like on Election Day in several Red States. Polls imply it won't be a landslide, but I'm inclined to think it could turn out that way.
