Easy to explain..this directly speak to huge part of the republican base. Whilst his other comments were towards minorities and others, it would have been political suicide to go against him.

Defends Trump by saying "we are all sinners" then attacks the Clintons for sin, then this
The hypocrisy and the theological gymnastics these people are going through.... Unreal
I just saw the Trump clip. Bloody hell, the guy just doesn't cease to amaze.
Pences statement 
There will be worse coming. I bet he's trying to figure out what.
I see Ms Conway has gone quiet
Who saw the woman on BBC saying 50% of men think like Trump? I don't know a single guy that thinks grabbing a lady by the pussy is acceptable. Not a single one.
I have no idea about this. HAve to google search, but I will pray after for my sins.
God might exist
I don't get it. Someone like this should be becoming public enemy number one and have to go into celebrity hiding. Instead he's seemingly well in a race for becoming America's president and has a strong following. Bizarre.
We've lost the plot as a country
BBC have some weird people on from both sides. Earlier on they had an anti-Trumper that was saying "you'd think the polls would've moved because of this but they haven't Trump is beating Hillary in Ohio!" - despite no polls having come out that take this into account and Hillary being up in the two most recent Ohio polls.
Which makes her a hypocrite, exactly @Keeps It tidy 's point. I mean everyone is a hypocrite, but being offended by what Trump has said while at the same time condoning the things Pence has done or wants to do, that's the irony.
Once you've decided the pacifist, socialist, anarchist, Arabian Jew of the Bible is actually super down with patriotism, capitalism and guns, theological gymnastics are a reflex.
"It's called collateral damage, any let me tell you this, nobody does collateral damage as well as me, I'm the best at collateral damage, we'll get tremendous collateral damage and make American Great again."
Something like that?
You make a good point there
I'm not even sure how you work on something like this. It's basically a sign of a moral degradation or vacuum among some serious portions of the national population. I expect Hilary to win, but the fact that this has gone as far as it has in this particular direction suggests that sweeping it under the carpet once she does win is going to be counter productive.
He was on the Fox Five for a few years, so I can only imagine the idiocy he dealt with on a daily basis is small potatoes* (snicker) to what he's seen in 2016.
*Small potatoes was the 30 for 30 title on the USFL which had multiple segments on Trump.
"It'll be a beautiful thing."
You're spot on. I don't know either. And I'm seriously disillusioned with what I'm seeing from teenagers. Granted, I live in a highly conservative part of America. I keep telling myself that hoping that we aren't destined for a future ruled by Trumpites
"We'll win bigly"
Bigly still cracks me upThe mushroom... Let me tell you, mushrooms are great. Yeah, they are great. But the nuclear... And my uncle told me this, 20 years ago, smart man, great genius... He told me the cloud will be yuge.
Perhaps his 10 year old son, who has a cyber computer, can push the button.
I'd like to tell your friend one thing; feck off.
POTUS is the ONLY person that can direct the use of nuclear weapons in the US government. There exists a two-person rule in which the SecDef must confirm or deny the order from the POTUS. If SecDef denies this order the POTUS can remove said person and anoint a new SecDef, and so on, until one person agrees (someone like Flynn for example). The only saving light would be the person holding the football and/or others nearby beat the living shit out of Trump, place him under arrest, and the cabinet later finds him unfit for the presidency. Or the JCS/officers at the silos refuse the order, which is likely unless the US is being attacked.
Ffs not this argument againDidn't you enjoy the discussion?
So you don't recall the Cuban Missile crisis a year before that when the world actually faced nuclear armageddon? You and Dana Perino huh!
If Goldwater had been in charge we'd have been annihilated.

SecDef must follow POTUS order to give the launch codes. Or the POTUS can fire the SecDef and anoint a new SecDef until someone in the circle follows direction.
Yeah I put that about the SecDef in a later post. I didn't include it there because if you can just fire the SecDef until one agrees then it's really not a 2 man fail safe
I wonder what @Americano thinks of all this
Iran. Trump would nuke it, for many reasons, absolutely no doubt in my mind. He wouldn't even think twice or hesitate. He'd probably place the order then hit a ball in front of the press and say "now watch this drive"
Anyone who thinks he wouldn't, well, it's not really worth arguing about to be honest.

Jeez, don't even go there. It's just a mass of tin foil, chemtrails and make America great again hats.
It's happening all over the western world, but as usual America is the biggest, brashest example of it. It's partly the last rally cry of a dying generation, and the blow back of 20 odds years of relative liberalism. Basically, people who feel left behind by the modern world, and would rather see it burn than adapt.
History is a continual case of "one step forward, two steps back"...My parents thought the 60s would usher in a century of unadulterated liberalism, but instead they got Reagan & Thatcher before the 70s were out.
Which isn't to say we can just wait this out. Brexit was such a shitter because we didn't expect it, which is partly how we allowed it happen. So whenever I see people joking about their pro-Trump friends, parents and relatives, and how they aren't worth engaging, it exasperates me. Anyone close to a Trump supporter should take it as a duty to challenge them, even if it is futile. Beg them, plead with them, suck their fecking dicks! We're talking about Donald Trump becoming the most powerful man in the world, this isn't a trivial matter.
I had long running arguments on social media about Brexit. Sure changing people's minds is tough, and rare, but if we're too scared to try, what is the platform even for? Cats and babies?
Lets make 'Merica great again - Xenophobic, racist, mysogynistic, narcissistic Sex offender 2016.
He's demonstrated that he doesn't think.
