I find it bizarre by the way that there were enough voters in the US to make Trump the #1 Republican candidate. Simply bizarre.

Pence's wife is reported to be furious as are a number of other Republican wifes. An unnamed state GOP leader disclosed that his wife, a staunched Republican, said she'll vote now for Hillary.

Kinda funny that they're furious about this but not everything he's said about women up to now. People are weird.
 
This sudden offence at Trump's words are a bit bizzare. It was ever thus and you defended him on a national debate when sentences were read vertabim Mike. It wasn't as if Houdini pulled a trick on you, you nincompoop

Yeah because nothing really bad will happen with Trump as POTUS that might lead to a nuclear escalation on his part.

Unless he's actually insane, which Trump isn't, its highly unlikely that any American president will plunge his country into nuclear armageddon.

The US left does like to raise this spectre with some Republican candidates. They did it with Goldwater in 1964 - the famous 'Daisy' ad - and there was a lot of pre-election chatter in the American liberal media in 1980, implying that Reagan's election could precipitate a nuclear showdown with the Soviets.

It's just politics in the final analysis. The questions are marginally worth raising in Trump's case though, because of his volatile personality and lack of any record in political office.

Does the current margins not create discomfort for you?

I believe they've either been in denial or just hoped his misogynistic remarks wouldn't stick on him. That's how the Trump campaign opperates.

I can't find a video of this but I was literally almost rolling on the floor laughing when Fahrenthold aired on CNN today about his contact with the Trump campaign before he released the video and article.

At first, he sent them the video's language just in text form (verbatim), not the video itself. The Trump camp apparently came back to him with something along the lines of 'this is not the language and behavior of Donald Trump as we know him'. :lol::lol:

I was almost falling off the couch because it's the polar opposite: That's exactly the language and behavior Trump is known for! Fahrenthold sent Trump's camp the video in return, and they quickly confirmed its authenticity. :wenger:

It's almost like they'd never heard of him or anything he ever said prior to accepting the nomination.

Exactly this! How anybody can be surprised by him at this stage is ridiculous.

Hilarious! Beat them with their own weapons.

I'm just saying the concerns are not marginal. They are yuuuuge.

Oh, I see. You expected me to have read my own post. (I put myself on 'ignore' years ago.)

No, if Trump is elected I won't be anxiously watching the skies for ICBMs on a tourist visa. But it would be a step into the unprecedented.
 
Here's more from Sarah C, my delusional friend in Georgia (currently residing in Osan). This from a woman that suffered an assault from an ex-bf who later stalked and attempted to blackmail her (with photos he supposedly took of her in the shower and sleeping).

--Thank you Mr. Trump for speaking out on this and taking responsibility for very stupid, inappropriate words spoken 10+ years ago. I see one distinct difference in this matter...Trump takes responsibility for mistakes whereas Hillary...well she just blames others or shrugs her shoulders with the most nonchalant, evil attitude. The reality is, Hillary thinks she is above the law. The FBI proved that anyone can be bought.

As for me, I won't deny that Trump needs a filter at times. For you women acting absolutely appalled by his comments....I encourage you to look up a picture posted last weekend of Miss America '16 (Betty Cantrell) and a USAF Thunderbird pilot/crew member at RAFB Air Show. Before you get high and mighty, take a look at the comments throughout many many shares of this picture in which women lusted after and said things as if that man was a piece of meat. Was the picture eye catching? Absolutely. I am a woman and I recognize good looks when I see them. But that's not my point. My point is....so many are up in arms on social media in absolute disgust at Trump's comments. Were they wrong? Absolutely. Offensive? Yes. But be careful throwing stones when you live in a glass house. We are all born sinners and if you say you've never had a lustful eye, thought or spoken word....well you just sinned again and lied! Women, I'm sorry but you lust and say just as many inappropriate things as men.

Trump has owned up to his mistakes and I can respect someone who takes responsibility for their actions. His opponent on the other hand...refuses to take responsibility for any mistakes. Her mistakes are a mile long and a mile wide, including defending a child rapist, shaming/threatening women that her own sicko husband sexually assaulted, leaving 4 Americans to be murdered in Benghazi while repelling the blame, treats military members like pure crap, stole from the White House, put our national security at high risk with classified information, lots of mysterious deaths connected to her, and so many more lies and deceit.

Americans please dig deep over these next few weeks. Pray and really ask God for discernment in your vote. You don't have to agree with me. I'm just asking to open your eyes and look at the big picture here. This is a pivotal moment in the future of our country.--
