> Trump: "I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and f--- her, she was married."
> Unknown: "That's huge news there."
> Trump: "No, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I'll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a b--ch. I couldn't get there and she was married. Then all-of-a-sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look."
> Trump: "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."
> Bush: "Whatever you want."
> Trump: "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
Above, Trump admits to predatory behaviour and sexual assualt in much the same way that some of the Operation Yewtree perpetrators have been convicted for here - Dave Lee Travis for example. What he said is only part of the issue. It's what he did that led to what he said that's the real issue.
Ryan Grim in the Huffington Post writes "If Donald Trump does what he claims he does to women, he's guilty of a crime punishable by time in prison. There's no telling what Trump's legal fate is over the next few years, but the first chance that the American public will have to cast judgment comes at the ballot box." Too right.
Avik Roy, writing in Forbes, says "... few Republican lawmakers have Muslim relatives. Few Republican lawmakers are of Mexican heritage. Few Republican lawmakers have faced discrimination based on the colour of their skin. But all of them have white female relatives. And therefore, when Trump talks about grabbing white women by the genitals, they can directly relate."
House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan withdrew an invitation for Trump to visit Wisconsin on Saturday.
Jason Chaffetz, the House Oversight Committee chairman who led the Hill investigation into Clinton's email use while secretary of state, said he can no longer support Trump for President after his extremely vulgar comments about women. ""My wife, Julia and I, we have a 15-year-old daughter," Chaffetz said. "Do you think I can look her in the eye and tell her that I endorsed Donald Trump for president when he acts like this and his apology? That was no apology, that was an apology for getting caught. So I'm not going to put my good name and reputation and my family behind Donald Trump when he acts like this, I just can't do it."
Chaffetz's comments really hit home for me. Can women vote for a sexual predator? Can men vote for this kind of sleazy scumbag that hits on their wives and daughters?
Clinton is almost irrelevant to the issue of wheter people can vote for Trump or not. People simply cannot vote for Trump after these comments. He's blown it, and the GOP needs to see that and do something about it ASAP.
