Pre-debate twist: Trump plans to put him in their family box, but during the handshakes, Bill goes in for the hug, then gestures towards the Clinton family box. "This is where you belong, son." Hillary opens the debate with a comment how being president, like being part of a family, means accepting everyone, even those you might want to ignore. Tears of joy all around, even amongst the Trump children who have never seen such tenderness from a father figure.

To me there's one thing Hillary should be trying to bring up, something lost in all of the reality show madness of the last week or so: The Central Park Five. Trump keeps coming back to the "law and order" candidate crap, but there's an instance where he summarily judged people as guilty, they were then exonerated in the legal system, and Trump still believes they are guilty. She can easily go to "This is the kind of justice system Trump wants, one where his determination of someone's guilt supersedes the laws of America, and that even if the laws of America determine innocence, he will still want them punished". I think she'd be missing a big opportunity there to paint him as a tyrant.

For what it's worth...

Quote:
Ivanka Trump told Time Magazine editor Nancy Gibbs that her father will concede the election to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton if he loses.
“Well, look, my father is in this to win it and, you know, I’m not interested in talking about alternative outcomes and, of course, I think my father will always do the right thing,” Trump said. “That’s the type of person he is.”
Speaking at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, Trump highlighted what she characterized as “vicious” behavior on behalf of the political press, before assuring Gibbs that her father will accept the outcome of the election.
“When you asked me before, do I think it’s rigged, I think from a media perspective, it’s very hard to get an accurate portrayal of who he is as a person or the business he’s built, his professional accomplishments,” Trump said. “It’s borderline impossible. In large part, we’ve stopped even trying with a lot of the mainstream publications because they just don’t - you know, I was going crazy around a year ago calling these reporters, trying to get them to at least hear our perspective and it’s just a waste of time. You fall down such a rabbit hole with this and it doesn’t yield a result.”
“But to your point, if - he’ll either win or he won’t win,” Trump said, “and I believe he’ll accept the outcome either way.”

Surprised Ivanka would be shocked by lewd language. I met her once & she casually said: "I've never seen a mulatto ####, but I'd like to!"

That guy spoke at the DNC and stars in one of her better extended campaign ads. Can't find it on youtube at the moment.

See, the thing is I don't think he has 40 million committed followers. Trump, to most of those people, is just the new hotness. Once he becomes the old hotness (and doesn't have cable news reporting on him 24/7) that 40M number is going to go way way down and those people will just migrate onto the new new hotness. Look at Sarah Palin... she was the new hotness once, now she stands in a corner jumping up and down yelling "look at me!, look at me!".

Sure he could launch Trump (Breitbart) News Network... by the time it actually got off the ground he'd be yesterdays man, even then it'll just be taking a small slice out of an ever shrinking pie that would collapse under the weight of the overhead until it became a pitifully low quality fringe product.

Trump has media skills though, Palin does not. Now a startup TV network requires a lot of sunk costs up front and Trump is cash poor, so that makes a TV network less likely. But Glenn Beck made $85 million his first year of The Blaze, so there's definitely an opportunity for Trump to get into right wing media in some way.

These guys aren't just randoms either. Creamer is a guy who is very connected, and has visited the White House at least 100+ times and met with Obama on multiple occasions.
I agree with your assessment of the first tape being more credible than the second. However, unless he releases all of his footage to authorities (and hopefully to the public) the bolded is not a reasonable action based on these videos. Especially given his history with his previous videos.

The woman who accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault this week will attend the third and final presidential debate on Wednesday in Las Vegas, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Leslie Millwee, a former Arkansas news reporter, told Breitbart on Wednesday that she was assaulted by Bill Clinton on three separate occasions in 1980.

Pitifully low quality fringe product? that has the Donald written all over it.
