Trump's tape releases....

[Berkut]

So, we had a pretty huge bombshell of a Trump tape coming out a couple days before the second debate. Big enough that it actually got prominent Republicans to call for him to step aside*.

The timing seemed to me pretty ideal. I have to wonder how long someone was hanging onto that tape to release it at the most opportune moment.

And how many more there are to come...you know that isn't the only time he has been recorded saying something horrific...

*-Why is the presumption that if he steps aside Pence goes to the top of the ticket? Pence was not picked by anyone but fucking Trump - who is being asked to step aside for his stunning lack of judgment. Why in the world would the RNC choose the guy he picked as the person to replace him???

I blame CdM. Only he owns the equipment to play tapes.

Well Pence at least looks and sounds 'presidential', so he has that going for him.  But he's definitely too conservative to be elected in the general unless he does a hard, phony tack to the middle.

I was wondering the same.  Compared to what he usually says, it ain't that bad.  And it's from 2005, long before he thought of entering politics.

There are those from the apprentice, but anyone leaking it faces a 5M$ penalty.  There's a crowdfunding for that, I heard.

I guess that's because there's only one month left to the election and they'll try to salvage the pro-Trump vote with someone he picked while rallying the moderate Republicans tempted to vote Democrat.

At this point, the RNC does not think in terms of obtaining victory but in terms of limiting damages.

Hey, I remember these!

Trump has mused about running for President going far back as the 1980s.

Hell - Donald Trump actually did run for President in 2000.  He sought the nomination for the Reform Party.  He actually won both primaries he entered, but withdrew from the race apparently feeling that he wouldn't be able to win the presidential election.

You fuckers laugh, but that reel-to-reel shit is still the bomb.

Anyway, I have to give my Dad his due...for months, I've been saying, "Can you believe Trump said X?", or "How can he get away with saying such-and-such...?", and all this time--even as far back as the Republican National Convention, Dad was like, "Meh...I'm just waiting for the rape charges to come out."  Not quite in the center red, but definitely worth some points.

I once used a modified reel-to-reel tape player to measure the neutron fluence profile in a reactor.

They should have gone with unobtainium, like in the movie.
