    Sodomizing multiple women with cigars and paperweights as President of the US, then using your position of power to intimidate them into keeping their mouth shut, lying about it to the American public with the help of your wife, then finally admitting you did so months later

    OR

    Saying , grab them by the p***y as a private businessman, getting caught, and coming out and admitting you were wrong right away?

    Perception is a wonderous thing

    This here debate this afternoon gon look like yallses mirrors - straight ugly. I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton resigns and Sanders ends up running after she supports and stands by abusers of women. Lotta you eunuchs gon be real offended with all the big bad things your favorite politician been up to , so best strap on and

    The answer is Donald Trump is worse no matter what the question is and no matter who he is being compared to.

    Which pretty much sums up the typcial liberal responses. Anything is ok when their guy does it, but oh so terrrrrible when the other side does it.

    I'm not defending Trump's statements, as clearly they make good political fodder....but since when was someone saying something a little outside the box ON HOWARD STERN all that newsworthy? One might say 'when that person becomes a political candidate' which is fair, but also indicates this is only an issue because of politics.

    To Honey Bear's question, and the above response, I have to wonder....would the response be the same were Clinton to have said similar things (and does anyone really doubt he did?)? As Honey Bear points out...he not only said such things, but actually DID them! Was that an issue with Dems? No, not really.

    Ah yes, as everyone knows, I'm the spitting image of a typical liberal.

    I think Trump is very dangerous. But I find it weird that these comments - which, to be honest, seem like typical frat boy/buddy boasting and braggadacio, and while they are an example of douchebaggery (I found that Billy Bush guy even more annoying in the video), are not that big a deal to me - seem to have more of an impact (Republicans stating that they don't support him because of these comments) than some much worse things he has said and done in the past (making fun of someone who is disabled comes to mind, but the things he says on foreign policy and treatment of minorities are much more dangerous and shocking). Seems like the PC police is more powerful than those who are worried about what this guy could do with the nuclear buttons within reach.

    Because it's ultimately a popularity contest. Further, in this instance some people are finally able to take his BS personally; that is to say, a lot of people in America (especially rural and suburban America) don't have any friends who are Muslim, or immigrants from Mexico, or who suffer from physical disabilities. It's not that what was caught on the tapes was more offensive, it's that it's offensive to more people. It has nothing to do with the PC Police, and considering the insensitive statements he's made in the past, I think it's kind of silly to suggest that that's the case.

    I've read this often and an important clarification needs to be made here:
    There's a big difference between saying something you'd like to do with a beautiful woman, and saying "this is what I do with beautiful women. I just go in and kiss. I don't even wait. And because you're a star, they'll let you do it. Grab them by the p***y."
    If any of the women he's done this to did not want it, then this is a confession to sexual assault, and bragging you can get away with it because you are a celebrity. This is a completely different world from saying "Oh what I'd do to that woman, if I could" (and if she wanted to! Because, you know, consent.)
    Confessing to kissing/groping/grabbing beautiful women "without waiting" because you can get away with it is not normal guy talk.

    All true. This is why we keep getting such horrible politicians and policy. We don't pay enough attention to the important issues and keep getting distracted by things like this. (This is not meant to be a defense of Trump...).

    The thing that exasperates me the most about the "Trump voter" is that they don't understand the simple premise that if you can't get your candidate elected, it doesn't MATTER how much he speaks to you or your issues. Ultimately, when you forget this simple premise you are working against your own interests.

    The fact that Trump even got nominated on that ridiculous campaign is a travesty. Now the GOP is going to have to find a way to retain the Trump base without teetering off into extremism before 2020. Nobody wants a de facto one party system.

    People complain about the two party system and candidates being the same / too moderate all the damn time. What is the alternative? Basically the tea party and the green party. Hope America learned a huge lesson this election.

    I'm sorry that your hate for Bill Clinton makes you want Trump for president. Maybe next time you'll learn to nominate someone electable, so you don't have to revisit your Bill resentments like this again.

    Exactly. Very well said. The lengths that Trump supporters will go to "justify" their continued support of the man is remarkable.

    There isn't anyone voting for any presidential candidate that isn't "justifying" their support.

    I think this deserves a bump. Or ten.

    You can't emphasize this enough. . .

    Clintons have done terribly immoral things as President's, first lady's, keynote speakers and people in positions of power. Bernie Sanders is a guy who can play the PC card - not Hilarie.

    The Donald said all these things as a businessman. As someone who reached the 7 digit club myself at 22, I can tell you - no one does big business without talking a little trash, or playing a little dirty. Trump is who we thought he was - he immediately came out and took accountability, didn't plead the 5th or go Bill Clinton on an entire nation with Hilary making threats and cutting off bastards behind the scenes.

    The average joe really has to look at the election from the POV of someone who can get things done and stimulate growth. Not who would do the best job as dressing up as a soccer mom and putting on a fake smile, because both these p. It's an incredibly small minded approach that might work at PTA meetings . . . but doesn't cut it at higher levels.

    Raping a 13 year old girl and donating money to NMBLA

    Also Clinton left office with one of the highest appeal ratings in history. His rating is still over 60%.

    It seems like America already gave you an answer.

    Wannabes like this, who think taping a soap opera and riding in a bus with Billy Bush are "big business," are Making America Stupid Again.
