Maybe a good outcome of this election is it will push Fox to become a reasonable Center right news network as Trump News/Breitbart outflank them on the crazy side
Gloria Allred says that she's been contacted by many other women but can't answer if they'll be coming forward at this time.
EDIT: Trump Jr. on Sexual Harassment
Quote:
“If you have a guys’ place you have a guys’ place,” Trump Jr., the candidate’s eldest son and executive vice president at the Trump Organization, said, describing himself as a “guy’s guy.”
A host interjected that women “complain, ‘it’s harassment’ — that’s why we hate having them around. They stop us from doing what we want to do.”
“I’m of that mindset — and I’ll get into trouble, I’m sure I’ll get myself in trouble one of these days,” Trump began. “If you can’t handle some of the basic stuff that’s become a problem in the workforce today, then you don’t belong in the workforce. Like, you should go maybe teach kindergarten. I think it’s a respectable position.
Summer Zervos coming forward with a statement about Trump's sexual misconduct with lawyer Gloria Allred.
Meanwhile Trump has a rally where he says "She would not be my first choice" about one of his accusers, and mimics what the women are accusing him of with his hands. Nice.
EDIT: Ben Carson apparently unclear of the concept: "Sometimes you put your Christian values on pause to get the work done"
I believe he also made a comment that when Hillary was standing in front of him at the debate he wasn't impressed.
Just coming back to the "she would not be my first choice", Trump sort of unwittingly admitted that there's a level of looks that would cause him to sexually assault. Chris Wallace would become a hero if he asked this question: "Mr Trump, how hot does a woman need to be for you to consider sexually assaulting her?"

As I said long ago I had you as a Cruz guy. I think you'd take whoever would be the most religious guy. I tend to think you know Trump is a charlatan, but still hate Hillary and the Democrats quite a bit, so it produces a conundrum for you.
There's a great essay by Taleb Nassem called " The Intellectual Yet Idiot."
The Trump campaign has produced a witness who claims Trump is right. The witness might actually be a bigger grifter than Trump. This is basically the full ###### moment of his campaign. It's surreal really
Romney basically maxed out the core GOP demographic and still lost. After that there was the whole autopsy report thing, but nothing changed, and then Trump hijacked everything.
No way. He played the same bad class politics card, and was hammered for it.
So now that I'm not on the train, some more about the Trump witness. First from the NY Post article.
Quote:
The man says he was sitting across from the accuser and contacted the Trump campaign because he was incensed by her account — which is at odds with what he witnessed.
“I have only met this accuser once and frankly cannot imagine why she is seeking to make out that Trump made sexual advances on her. Not only did he not do so (and I was present at all times) but it was she that was the one being flirtatious,” Anthony Gilberthorpe said in a note provided to The Post by the Trump campaign.
In an exclusive interview arranged by the campaign, Gilberthorpe said he was on the flight — in either 1980 or 1981— where Jessica Leeds claimed Trump groped her.
Quote:
Indeed, Gilberthorpe claimed, Leeds was “trying too hard” in her attempt to win Trump over.
“She wanted to marry him,” Gilberthorpe said of Leeds, who apparently made the confession when Trump excused himself and went to the bathroom.
There was no kissing, but the “shrill” Leeds was “very much in your face” with the real estate developer.
Gilberthorpe made headlines in 2014, when he went public with a claim that as a 17-year-old he procured boys (some who “could have been” underage”) for sex parties with high-ranking British politicians.
Gilberthorpe has no evidence to back up his claim — just his self-described excellent memory.
“What she said about Trump is wrong,” he told The Post. “I mean, no decent human being could sit by and have a woman go on television and tell the United States of America — accuse an individual of sexually molesting. It’s wrong for Trump, it’s wrong for me. But you know something else? It’s wrong for the American people,” he said.
And a few more stories about this fine, upstanding citizen. Clearly did not vet him at all, just as soon as they found anyone to help the orange goblin they ran with it.
And you thought this election couldn't get more absurd? I think we're about the enter the 3 most ridiculous weeks in American political history.

The Following User Says Thank You to Senator Clay Davis For This Useful Post:
Our mainest man doing more top notch work to prove that Trump isn't just a fraud, he's a cheapskate too. Love that he's getting the public involved too, getting people excited about investigative journalism again.

In '89, @realDonaldTrump's Fdn gave $7 to the Boy Scouts. Thought I'd never figure out why. Thanks to you all, I think I did. From BSA spox:

Technically, yes. @realDonaldTrump's Foundation paid to register as a Boy Scout in '89. No word on merit badges it earned.

Also possible that this was to register @EricTrump or @DonaldJTrumpJr. Which would make more sense but would be illegal.
