What on earth can he possibly say? Based on prior history I am guessing its going to be someone elses fault.

No kidding. Let's look at his options:

- "Didn't know I was being taped." Who cares, still said it.
- "Hillary leaked the videos!" Who cares, still said it.
- "Videos aren't real. Not my voice. My voice is the biggest and best ever." May actually work.
- "Sorry." Too late. But really, let's be serious here.

It doesn't matte...with a bs apology or video statement the BEST he can do is win back some of the people that has this as their last straw. He won't win them all back or convert any people who already wrote him off. This is just loss minimization.

Also this is not locker room talk. Locker room talk can be crass certainly but I can't remember locker room talk advocating sexual assault. It's one thing to say I'd bang that broad and another to say I can get away with assault because I'm a star.

There were some endorsers that Trump refused to initially endorse back and thus couldn't back out for fear of looking petty. Now they have their out.

Not that they're using it. Yet I guess.

People who've denounced Trump's comments without withdrawing endorsements:
- Ryan
- McCain
- Cruz
- Rubio
- Portman
- Ayotte
- Toomey
- Burr
- McConnell
- Walker
- Corker
- McMorris-Rodgers

I have to admit I'm enjoying watching the obliviousness to this news that exists in some of the Trump-booster corners of the Internet. It's barely a blip, as they proceed to declare every new non-illegal, non-linked-to-Clinton, 'scandal' that they find in email records as a game-breaker.

I don't understand the use of "Alpine Fisher" when "Shrillary" was available.

My question is whether that's even possible? There are states that have already started early voting, I'd imagine all the paperwork has already been filed for ballots.

I'm honestly not fully sure about any of this, but I do know that early voting has started for some, and absentee voting may already have started for ex-pats, etc.

One (nuclear) option:

He could say that he was asked to run for the Republican nomination (by Bill) to help Hillary ...that would put the Democrats on the defensive

God dammit, you're right.

There's a sick part of me that wants to see him push THAT button.

What if he said he would resign if he won turning the ticket over to Pence. He's still be on the ticket by Pence would just run as the Presidential Candidate.

Probably gives him a better shot at winning, and then he could say just kidding you rubes just elected me President.
