Did you even see post #10465? It was made an hour before your (predictable) pro-Trump response.

If he's not your guy then stop defending him in the exact way that all of his surrogates do. Otherwise, you need to own it.

Why waste your time? Boiler is little more than a troll.

I'm not going to keep doing this because you're obviously trolling this thread for your own purposes.

Have either of the main candidates made their Kinder Egg policies clear, or are they still flip flopping on this important issue?

His behavior in general is well documented. It wouldn't have taken much digging for just one of those 16 candidates to find something. If not this clip then something else. Really pathetic by the GOP to let themselves get into this position.

On the plus side 2020 is going to be hilarious.

If the Republican primary had not been a huge collection of idiots and wannabes someone might have dug into it. They all kept thinking he was going to fade away and failed to take him seriously.

Absolutely, I said he was a %1 longshot, and then when they all started talking... There is going to be such a quest through America to find one sensible and electable Republican who can pull the sword from the stone. I'm still smiling over Ben Carson.

Donald Trump's decades-long history of misogynistic comments and crude sex talk - CNNPolitics.com

It comes as no surprise to me that Trump would make such comments. Trump has built a career using name recognition to promote himself, and in a society that has shows like Howard Stern's and people like the Kardashians, no surprise. And no surprise they are many more guys who speak like that than many would admit. And no surprise that many just consider him the lesser of two evils, or that like Bill Clinton supporters they just accept his personal behavior flawed. Those who are so outraged I wonder if they felt so outraged at Bill Clinton's behavior at the time. And no surprise Hilary would attack women who threatened her family (what else would one expect, and I give her credit she kept her family together).

I have heard guys talking like that at work, or at a bar. And some expressing outrage probably have at times made some similar comments. But the Howard Stern interview is beyond belief. I have never met any man in my life anywhere who would be comfortable with someone using the phrase " piece of ass" to describe his daughter. I would walk out or punch the guy in the face if anyone said such a thing about my daughter. And I would never have someone like Donald Trump around my wife or daughter. It makes me really wonder how he was brought up, and how he brought up his children.

And look at the age he made such comments, not in his teens or twenties but as a grown man with a wife and children. I am astonished that Trump and Clinton are the choices, I wonder what type of candidates we get in the future.

That'd be double dipping. I'm sure being President of North Korea is a full time job.

I know plenty of people with teenage daughters and none would call them a piece of ass, or voluptuous.

And Bill's not running for President. So until someone plays me a tape of Hillary saying she'd like to grab a guy's c**k, this is a false equivalency.

They can't both run (one sincerely hopes!) and Kanye has already suggested that he will be a candidate.....

Before this election, I met a man whose daughter worked for Rudy Giuliani's law firm. I mentioned something about her living in NY and he informed me that Giuliani had law firms in New York and Houston. It occurred to me today to look into it a little more and as it turns out, his law firm offers legal and lobbying services to the oil and gas industry as well as the coal industry. They also represent big pharma. He left the firm earlier this year under "friendly" circumstances.

I've often felt like the whole Trump obsession with saving the coal industry (which we know he won't) to be overrepresented in this election. He brings it up when nobody is asking.

So, no, they're not just "old New York buddies". Giuliani is playing Trump like a fiddle. Giuliani is not as addle brained as he appears but Trump is even more stupid than I originally thought.

Incidentally, Giuliani represented Purdue Pharma, the company that was brought up on federal charges for misleading the medical community and general public about the addictive nature of OxyContin. They settled for around 650 million and triggered the current heroin epidemic.

Judi thinks she's a medical expert --he was caught paying her big bucks as a consultant. This is what she actually did

Good God. :blink:
