The pussy video shows that Trump is an obscene man, but it doesn't change anything in the perception that he would be a terrible president. So if you bail out over this remark but not any of his previous political gaffes, it suggests that all his outrageous political stances are fine with you.

Politics is about perception. This finally pushed him past the post for many.

Agreed though that it doesn't say anything good about those who supported him till this point.

I imagine there's quite a few Republicans who are happy with the release of the tape as it gives them an excellent chance to abandon this trainwreck.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Have we reached the inflection point? GOP disavowals seem to be mounting rapidly...

Also I imagine the GOP will now be pouring its money out of Trump's campaign and into down ballot races.

And it's hilarious that a member of the Bush dynasty (Billy Bush) was pivotal in Trump's downfall (if he does indeed lose/drop out)

So, Trump is basically (Bill) Clinton with a likeable wife? :hmm:

Doesn't that make it worse when he steps out on her?

That was my point. The only saving grace of Bill's infidelities compared to Trump's is that Bill is married to Hillary. :P

Aww Fiorina reappeared to ask Trump to step aside.

I find it funny that after all Trump has said and done, the October surprise that will finally do him in is an old video of him being himself.

The spell has finally broken.

Funny how noone is talking about Hillary openly advocating judicial murder of Julian Assange.

That's just SOP for US presidents.
