I assume you're referring to Trump's comment "When you're a star they'll let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the p***y..." In which case, ya, I have. Being around junior hockey players when I was younger, and more recently some guys who fancy themselves players and have a tonne of money to throw around, I've heard plenty of guys bragging about what girls have let them do that make that look like a church sermon.

I completely agree with that sentiment, and think Trump had disqualified himself on those grounds ages ago. But I also expect that a large number of men sitting in the house and senate (i.e. men who enjoy, and have enjoyed, the trappings of power) would feel right at home in that conversation, Bill Clinton included.
