Psssst....they don't care!

You could trot out bus loads of alleged victims of Trumps unwanted advances (trying to be an adult here) and the repukes wouldn't care.

On the contrary, I believe it makes him more relatable to his supporters, and gives them a convenient and ever-present false equivalency trampoline on which to smear Hillary for her husband's alleged past transgressions.

I wish we could focus more on his crappy business sense or his lack of a basic understanding of civics, economics or world politics.

1. But women care and they are bailing on the Republican party in droves.

Droves. Plus there are many ethical conservatives who were on the fence about Donald Trump, they knew he was a jerk, but he wasn't Hillary so they were going to swallow a bitter pill and pull the lever for him. Those people are going to stay home now, repulsed by this creep.

I wish the election would focus on the issues and the qualifications the candidates have to solve those issues too, but we're not going to see that this year. Trump has run a campaign devoid of issues and policy and has instead run on rambling conspiracy theories and alpha male barking. This is his bed, the media helped make it, by giving him attention, yes, but this is Trump's bed. Now he's got to lie in it and he's not going to like how it feels.

Trump is tabloid trash, and he's now being burned by tabloid trash, good for him. I'll get more popcorn.

a country with those people

And that we will have to for decades.

realistically, we're not a single nation but now one of different cultural tribes, with the worst of the worst of those tribes having rallied around Trump

But, fortunately Trump's dirtbag supporters are a minority. So we can defeat them and crush their hopes of getting their way by appealing to the non-dirtbag segments of society.

There aren't enough deplorables for him to win. There are enough people who do care.

Who the bloody hell do they think they are fooling? They are hypocrites unlike anything I've ever seen! I bet the Trump campaign wish they never started this happy horseshit of blaming Hillary for Bill's past.
