Quote:Which proves my point.  Kasich was clean, because he never posed a threat to the left.  If people think that there was a majority constituency out there that wanted to send 200k troops to Syria to oust Assad, or wanted to approve the TPP and have immigration reform then God bless.  It's just not true. 

 

For all the talk about independents etc. trump was leading by double digits among independents and gaining in minorities and suburban women before the first debate and the media melt down. 

 

If all it takes is some woman to bake a story about an airplane ride to destroy a republican candidate then what's the point?  We'll spend all our time effort and energy killing ourselves just to find ourselves 3 weeks before an election asking about a make out session 4 decades ago like groundhog day.  At some point, the American people are going to have to reject these kinds of smears or what's the point?

 

You're going under the assumption that this is a smear campaign, probably organized by "the ruling elite".  That's just too damn simple.  You do realize that there are people who said the Left fixed the election by making sure your champion was the Republican nominee, right?  He was - by far - the most unelectable.

 

I'd bet the allegations are true, mainly because of who Donald has displayed himself to be over the past 20 years of public life.  What the women are alleging is completely in keeping with the profile of a sexual predator, and Donald even painted himself into a corner with a classic line that might have worked in the 1980s, but has long been exposed:

 

"Do you think I would have come on to THAT?"  Paraphrasing, but basically the classic rapist excuse that if one was going to rape, he'd at least go after someone more attractive.  It's about as trite as "Of course I tried to make it with her, look at how she's dressed.  She was asking for it."  My guess is that he'll use that one in the coming weeks before the election.

 

Getting away from Donald for a moment, do you really think Kasich would have nominated a liberal justice to the Supreme Court?  I don't.  With a possible sweep of ALL branches of government for at least 2 years, do you think Kasich would have given any quarter to the Left?  I don't.  Do I believe Kasich would have beaten Hillary like a rug, based on his record, ethics, and experience in running the 5th most populous state?  Why yes, yes I do.

 

The Republicans will hold the House, be in a virtual tie in the Senate, and lose the Presidency and a deciding Supreme Court majority after the election.  It's the best case scenario after nominating Sir Orange Combover Grabhands.

 

One more thing:  Trump was leading among white men, but that was about it.  He wasn't ahead in any legitimate poll nationally, and had a hard row to hoe through the swing states.  Don't pretend these women are somehow responsible for derailing a sure thing.
