Soooooo what happened to that "proof" Pence was talkin about that proved these women was lying?
Im not talkn bout pence..this the same reporter that has video of clinton staffer sayn he could grab a coworkers ass
At this point everybody is digging in the crates. And that's a staffer. Not Hillary...or Bill. That doesn't have the same impact as a presidential candidate saying it.
I mean it's red meat for his base, but nationally...meh. Especially IF that staffer was fired for their comment. And all that's gonna do is shed even more light on the whole issue of women and sexual assault.
Trump is in desperation mode. He's no longer concerned wot reaching voters outside his base. He's in GOP primary mode at this point. -

Like i said could b ducktales -
James O'Keefe is a joke, he don't have ? . His entire gimmick is to "go undercover" and attempt to entrap people with ducktales and deceptive editing. He probably went into a campaign office in a arab head dress asking for help committing terrorism or some other dumb ? .

The White Oak Amphitheatre, which President Obama packed to excess of its 7,700 person limit Tuesday night, leaving another 1,500 supporters stranded outside, wasn’t even half full on Friday. A listless crowd occasionally chanted “Trump, Trump, Trump,” but it never got momentum….
B-B-B-B-BUT TRUMP'S RALLY CROWDS MEAN HE'S GONNA WIN, RIGHT?

My mother-in-law was there. Said the ? was lit! (my term, not hers, lol)
edit: at the Obama one -
Amazing.
Donald Trump Jr. offered some unsolicited career advice for women concerned about sexual harassment in the workplace: Just quit, already.
“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,” Donald Trump’s son told The Opie and Anthony Show in a 2013 interview that BuzzFeed just unearthed.
“You should go maybe teach kindergarten,” he said, apparently suggesting that teachers aren’t part of the workforce. “You can’t be negotiating billion-dollar deals if you can’t handle, like, you know.”
Gender-based harassment, both sexual and not, is against the law in the U.S. “It is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general,” according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
So if the GOP presidential nominee’s son can’t handle not being able to make offensive comments about women, maybe he’s the one unfit for the workforce.
Trump Jr. later joked that saying he’d been harassed would be “my get rich quick scheme. I’m now suing you guys because I feel uncomfortable.”

Why did he lose?
FUNCTIONALLY?
Sanders lost because he failed completely to win the minority vote.
He lost in 90.5 percent of states with an African American population over 10 percent.
Not dissimilar to his results in states with prevalent populations of other minorities.
You don't win the Democratic Primaries without having a modicum of minority support.
IDEOLOGICALLY?
Personally, I think his platform was too radical, too soon.
- 100% Tuition Free College for everyone
- Completely centralized, Federal Healthcare
- Breaking up large and systemically important U.S. Financial institutions.
A lot of what he proposed wasn't radical in and of itself ... but it was radical for where we are in America.
The largest country in the world does not turn a complete 180 overnight. And not without a sensible plan for change management and transition.
IMO, if somehow he got elected, we would see more political discord than progress... just imagine Obama's opposition multiplied by a significantly more liberal platform with no incentive for cooperation.
Then again, even if he got his way - a lot of his proposals and aspects of his platform, I flat out disagree with.
Most notably, his indifference toward real world consequences for his unbalanced, socialist proposals.
I am happy to lay some of my concerns, if you are interested.
In the worst case scenario, however, Sanders would be too radical and unapologetically socialist to even get elected President...
Then we would have to deal with extreme conservative Supreme Court Justices, a disaster for the economy, Cut funding for education, further squeezing of the middle class, no action to curb police violence and mitigate the school to prison pipeline and ...
? forbid - a Donald Trump Presidency.
That's one man's opinion. You'd have to ask others for theirs.
But, ideally, you should do your research and form your own. -

Bout time SNL made this thing funny. Alec Baldwin running around was the funniest thing on it. -
Link
Oh yeah: he mad about that skit, too.
Here’s the SNL sketch that finally went too far for Donald Trump
Donald Trump has generally had a pretty good sense of humor about how “Saturday Night Live” has portrayed him — even when it has been hugely unflattering. He didn't even have much to say when SNL called his supporters racist multiple times on the same show, for example.
But no more. After this weekend's show, SNL is now part of the media conspiracy trying to rig this election, according to Trump.
So what happened?
During SNL's cold open sketch about the presidential town hall debate, Alec Baldwin-as-Trump is asked about whether he likes kids and says, “I love the kids, okay? I love them so much I marry them.”
After it's pointed out that Trump has said Bill Clinton's accusers should be believed, Baldwin-as-Trump says of his own accusers: “They need to shut the hell up.”
And after stalking Clinton repeatedly during last week's town hall debate — something Trump denies he actually did — Baldwin-as-Trump is asked by a black man whether he can be a “devoted president to all the people.” He responds by calling the man “Denzel” and launches into an answer about violence in the inner cities.
Then he uses it as a segue to call for putting Hillary Clinton in jail: “She's committed so many crimes, she's basically a black.”
That's all pretty in-keeping with Baldwin's previous turns as Trump. In truth, it's not clear what about this week was worse than before.

the bernie thing is absolutely right. He just couldnt get minorities to come out and vote for him.
A big part of this was he started his campaign too late. If he was serious, he shouldve been meeting with COrnel West and Killer Mike the day after Obama started his second term. Remember O didnt REALLY start to catch fire until Blacks and Latinos started coming over to his side. He was the underdog for a long time against Hill, and he got his name out to the the country when Kerry was running at the DNC.
Fortunately, the same reason Bernie lost is the same reason that Trump might lose. There simply arent enough angry white people, D or R, to carry you to an election. Not anymore.
