Yeah, you just know that Clinton is out there to inflict maximum damage at this point, not just to Trump but to the whole GOP. The timing of this leak was about as difficult as it could be for representatives running for re-election, and if she's got more leaks of even worse footage planned, then look out, the House might just be in play. And it's arguably going to hurt Republicans long after this election as Trump-disavowers find themselves the target of vindictive primary challenges by fringe candidates who'll get destroyed in general elections.
