    That doesn't sound like it was written by Trump.

    Trump only brought Bill Clinton up after the tapes were released. Knotice he never brought him up during the first debate.

    Now let me make this clear about the press. They are no longer reporting news. They're going out their way to create the news. They are going door to door asking every single female that ever was in contact with Trump if he sexually assaulted them. How is this ethical? Honest journalism is dead in America. Meanwhile 15000 emails released with more Democrat corruption and not a peep from the press. In a recent poll conducted by gallup shows that only 33 percent of the Americans trust the media. Why do you think that is?

    "I showed AMAZINGLY BIGLY TEMPERAMENT by not speaking about how Bill Clinton sexually assaulted those women and Hillary Clinton is a rape apologist" quite literally after the debate and before the tapes were released.

    I understand Russia probably doesn't have this, but in the US, we have a long history of investigative journalism. It's how virtually every major scandal in US history was uncovered. Maybe one day you can share the idea with your Russian leaders.

    You remember people saying Trump was innocent because of the first class arm rest was fixed on planes? The Airline in question was Braniff (google it) and they used 727s in many of their routes. A picture of First Class seats:

    Those arm rest were easily raised by lifting (held in place by 2 pegs).

    How do you explain Bill Cosby, then? He was headline news on CNN, MSNBC, Huffington Post, Yahoo!... and Fox News. They published story after story about his accusers. They were all relentless, including Fox.

    Now, do you think CNN, MSNBC, etc. were all out to get Cosby? Why? What you fail to understand is that if you're going to accuse the media of being more anything these days, it's sensationalist, not partisanship. They are doing to Trump what they did to Cosby, plain and simple.

    Except that in Cosby's case, we don't have any audio or video evidence of his acts, nor his thoughts that would suggest he'd be likely to commit those acts.

    But we do for Trump.

    Are you that dense to believe that if a person states that he can grab women by the vulva due to his fame, he hasn't tried to do it???

    And on the Clinton emails, what everyone is conveniently forgetting is that you can doctor emails rather easily.

    Example- here's an email a client sent to me (name is changed- and my email is on my website, so it's already "out there"):

    ---------- Forwarded message ----------
    From: Erin...
    Date: Thu, Oct 6, 2016 at 6:29 PM
    Subject: Re: Resume
    To: Daniel Dorotik <dandorotik@gmail.com>

    Dan,
    As always, amazing job! Thanks for turning this around so quickly!
    Take care,
    Erin

    Now, let's say the client, a week later, is desperate for money and decides to do a chargeback, and the credit card company needs evidence of "faulty workmanship." Here's the email she sends to the CC company:

    ---------- Forwarded message ----------
    From: Erin...
    Date: Thu, Oct 6, 2016 at 6:29 PM
    Subject: Re: Resume
    To: Daniel Dorotik <dandorotik@gmail.com>

    Dan,
    I am very disappointed in the quality of your work. You made grammar errors, sent it 3 days late, and were rude to me on the phone. I demand a full refund.
    Take care,
    Erin

    Why do I use this example? Because an incident like this happened 2 years ago. And we caught the person doctoring the email.

    Yes, you can subpoena Google and extract the copy of the email from their server, but that's a lengthy process. And they've already found that one email from Podesta was indeed changed.

    Don't trust everything you get from WikiLeaks verbatim.

    For that matter I don't remember the media giving Anthony Weiner or Eliot Spitzer a pass on their behavior even though they were Democrats.
    Some of our most vocal Trump supporters might be too young to remember how much coverage was given to Bill Clinton's indescretions. There is a reason why Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky's names are so recognized is because they've been in the news for decades.

    Trump's recent speeches also read like articles from Breitbart News. Whatever else happens, one big winner out of this election year will be Steve Bannon, the Breitbart CEO, and his extreme right movement.

    I'm not sure if it's a case of Trump and Bannon simply having identical worldviews, or if Bannon is having great influence on a highly agitated and desparate Trump. Maybe a mix of both.

    Sam Harris is a pretty well known intellectual in the 'anti-pc' crowd. He's been vocal of his disdain for Hillary many times before. He is strong in his criticism of Islam. Many Alt-Righters automatically assumed he would be a Trump guy. Now RocketsLegend, I implore you to take the time to watch this 30 minute podcast.

    I've never seen such an eloquent and well thought out explanation of why Trump is a danger to our nation.

    Warren: Trump a 'selfish little sleaze ball'

    Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders appeared together Sunday at a campaign event for Hillary Clinton in Denver, and tore into Donald Trump as they pressed Clinton's case to college students.

    Warren called the Republican Party's presidential nominee a "selfish little sleaze ball" who "will never be president of the United States." She sought to convince millennial voters -- who have remained somewhat resistant to Clinton after her contentious primary fight with Sanders -- that his efforts to move the party left had been rewarded.

    "I am proud of the debate that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton had in our primary, way to go. I am proud that we are party that doesn't debate who has the smallest hands, or who can build the longest, tallest, fake gold-plated wall in the world. I'm proud that we are not looking for the most obscene way to demean women," Warren said.

    The progressive firebrand also pointed to the 2016 Democratic platform, which included a series of policy compromises hammered out by the Sanders and Clinton camps ahead of the party's convention, as an example of what a unified party could achieve.

    "Thanks to Bernie Sanders, we have the most progressive Democratic platform in American history," Warren said.
    Warren also laced into Trump over recent allegations of sexual assault, all of which Trump has denied.

    "You know, I want to say this -- that some people say it makes them sick to hear Donald Trump talk like that," Warren said. "Well not me. Donald Trump's words don't make me sick anymore. They make me furious."

    At one point, Warren even clucked like a chicken as she mocked Trump's ongoing refusal to release his tax returns. "The big brave Donald Trump is too chicken to release his tax returns," she challenged.

    CNN did not immediately receive a response from the Trump campaign to a request for comment on Warren and Sanders' remarks.
    Flanked by Warren, Sanders also argued against Trump's candidacy by honing in on the Republican nominee's taxes.

    "I have been running all over this country for a year and a half talking about a corrupt tax system. And in one day, Donald Trump did more to explain the corrupt tax system to the American people than I did in a year and a half. Thank you, Donald," Sanders said.

    "What Donald said is, 'Yeah, I'm a multibillionaire. I've got mansions all over the world. But you know what? I, a billionaire, don't have to pay any taxes and I'm proud of it because you suckers are going to pay the taxes for me.'"

    Warren has been an outspoken critic of Trump throughout his presidential bid, regularly attacking the Republican nominee in sharp terms. In the last month, she's called Trump a "nasty little bully" with a "dark and ugly soul" at various campaign stops.

    Trump, for his part, has lived up to his reputation as a "counter-puncher" with regard to Warren, hitting back at her barbs with a few of his own -- frequently calling the Massachusetts senator "goofy" and "Pocahontas," a reference to her claim of Native American heritage.
