Anderson Cooper set Trump up when he made Trump affirm or deny the groping.

At the last debate, Anderson wouldn't let Trump get away without answering yes or no as to whether he had actually groped any women. The moment his denial came from his mouth, it was only a matter of time until women stepped forward.

I thought to myself "You're going to be in trouble buddy!" I think Anderson thought so too.

I don't see how Trump recovers.

He pressed him and Trump clearly didn't want to answer, but Cooper made him.

When it happened I posted that Trump shouldn't have answered and he better not have ever done anything. And I knew he absolutely had as he had been accuser already. Now it's going to grow form here because Cooper made him answer.

You are on the money. Cooper had to know what would be coming soon.

6. If the answer was really "No" it should have not taken three times to be asked to answer!

It should have been easy to answer, but it wasn't!

I talked with two women today who I know are republican evangelicals who normally toe the line. Both said they were so disgusted at both candidates they were not going to vote at all. That is what I want to hear and I hope they stick with it!

9. I really liked when he asked "you do understand you are talking about sexual assault, don't you?"

He spelled it out clearly. Thank you Anderson.
