He is the hard-line lawyer who shows up occasionally on cable news with terse comments to the various talking heads. ("Says who?" etc.)

Odd to say, Cohen is an Obama-voting Democrat. But there he is in the Trump circle.

Trump boldly walks into dressing rooms where 15 year old girls are nude and still gets excuses and support.

Hastert set up a comfortable chair in the boys' shower room for his viewing pleasure and got letters of support from his fellow republicans.

And it's getting us the senate and maybe even the house.

If HRC really wants to overturn citizen's united, fix roads and b ridges and obamacare, it will all be worth it.

I'd also like to see her update the voting/registration process to make it as easy as everything else online. This is ridiculous, the way we make voting so difficult.

Once a few victims were brave enough to come forward more and more gathered the strength to tell their stories. You have to wonder how many more of tRump's victims will tell their stories.

tRump is now officially toast, it's a matter of how many republican congress critters go down because of him.

the towns and cities, I wonder if we will finally hear Kelly Ayotte say she will not support the Republican nominee.

So far, she's smack dab with the ticket.

Not to single Senator Ayotte out either, as there are many other Republicans still supporting Trump. May voters hold them accountable for doing so.

(or tried to) walk that comment back, but what killed me was that she was still supporting Trump anyway.

I hope voters in that Senate race ask themselves if, after these recent reports of assault, they can support an incumbent Senator who supports someone like Trump. The Access Hollywood bus video alone should be enough for them to make a decision.

Those people are filled with so much hate. Some hate blacks, they hate Hispanics, they hate Muslims, some hate anybody on government assistance (although many Trump supporters are on government support), they hate anybody talking about any kind of gun control, they really hate Hillary, they hate people with a good education, and most are just filled with hate and contempt unless you think like they do. I'm sure I've left many groups out, so please do not be dismayed. That leaves Trump at about 37% of the electorate maximum. And we can be assured that they WILL turn out to vote, and many to harass anybody they think are in the groups I mentioned.
