Re: 2016 Election
Unfortunately, CA has always been a foregone conclusion, so it doesn't really matter what happens in CA. It's the crappy little states like Nevada, Iowa, etc that will decide the election ... and CA can only stand by and watch.

Re: 2016 Election
Uh oh, full on damage control from the Trump campaign after a new video of the Donald being the Donald surfaces. And he immediately resorts to "Bill said worse things," just like a five year old in the schoolyard.

Phew, at least that will distract from the allegations against the Central Park five.

Any person who tweets derogatory remarks about a former miss universe at 3 in the morning has to be an absolutely vindictive SOB with very little of any substance occupying his brain.

Oh Lordy - it just keeps getting better.
Trump caught on tape making crude, sexually aggressive comments about women - POLITICO
Actually bragging about getting away with assaulting women 'because he's a star'.

“I don’t even wait,” he boasts, as he talks about groping at women’s genitals.
“And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says to Billy Bush of “Access Hollywood” in a clip from 2005 that was first published by the Washington Post late on Friday. “You can do anything.”
“Whatever you want,” an off-camera voice that appears to be Bush replies.
“Grab them by the pussy,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”

Re: 2016 Election
Who leaked this story to David Fahrenthold?
I was watching some of this shit-show last night and the most intriguing element is the fact that Fahrenthold would say NOTHING about how this story was obtained. We all have come to know and appreciate Fahrenthold because of his excellent reporting on Trump's finances. It's been said here before, he deserves the Pulitzer for his dogged and revealing investigative journalism. However, Fahrenthold is always very detailed about his sources and methods, not to mention the fact that his forte is financial reporting ... at least in this election cycle. Prior to now he has not really done any reporting on Trump's general treatment of women and overall disgusting person behavior.
Access Hollywood was scrubbing their Donald files looking for a scoop ... and they found the, "I grab pussies", audio. Access Hollywood, prior to releasing this bombshell, sent a transcript over to the Trump campaign for verification. The Trump campaign sent back some weasel-word response so Access Hollywood sent over the actual footage. Trump then authenticated the tape. BUT somebody circumvented Access Hollywood and sent the whole thing straight to Fahrenthold and he scooped them on their own story.
It had to be somebody in the Trump campaign. That's my theory anyway. Picking Fahrenthold specifically wasn't even remotely subtle.

Kudos to FOX News. Since the breaking of this Trump story, they've done some stellar reporting on the tracking of Hurricane Matthew.

Wasn't Trump a Dem at the time he made these remarks?
It is hilarious, Hillary E Mails, Trump doing what Trump does.
Sometimes I just wonder...

Re: 2016 Election
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
My work is with people in the age range of Donald Trump. A lot of those people have changed political parties over the years. No decent man, of any political party, has ever spoken like that about women.

The United States Of America
Land of the free but yet unable to field a candidate worthy of becoming the leader of the free world. Suck it up Yankees and to piss you off even more it would be even better if the only Canadian based team wins the World Series
Mmmm World Series but only 2 countries competing and yet they allow them to vote to pick a President.
