Good God.
Via David Fahrenthold (of course) at The WashingtonPost:
That is all.
Except of course for Paul Ryan and his “respectable” comrades saying: He’s fine! Let’s put him in command! And now, via Politico, comes the news that Ryan plans to campaign alongside Trump tomorrow. Elegant timing!
And for this reminder: For a number of Trump’s supporters, even a video like this will bounce right off their backs. What about Benghazi? And what do you expect from the crooked lamestream media? But to win, Trump needs to attract support beyond his base—notably from women, non-whites, educated people, and young people. So each day’s news should be judged on whether it attracts any of those people to his side. Take your own guess about the effect of The Tape.
Thirty-one days and a few hours to go.
Update: Donald Trump, GOP nominee, has responded:
“This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course—not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”
For what it’s worth, I’ve been in locker rooms (though not on golf courses) and never had conversations like this.
