On soap opera set, the GOP nominee bragged about groping and trying to have sex with women.
Source: Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005 – The Washington Post
Reagan: “Tear down that wall!”
Kennedy: “Ask not what your county can do for you.”
Trump: “Grab them by the pussy!”
Being Australian I don’t really understand how the US political system works (or the need for the incredibly long election process inflicted on them!), but I’m still beyond amazed that the Republican Party felt the best candidate they could offer was Trump.
Surely there would be someone less horrible on that side of the divide who could make it a competition between people to vote FOR rather than making it a choice of who to vote against…

SOM, I’m curious. Do you support Trump just because Hillary is crooked (I can understand this) or do you actually support any of his policies? I’m not a Democrat and I’m not anti-republican. I would support a Republican candidate if he is a decent man, does not lie, and offers sensible policies. I can reluctantly put up with the lack of the first two qualities. But I can’t stand behind anything that Trump suggests – deporting all immigrants, building a wall (that’s just demagoguery), shutting of borders for Muslims (racist and inhumane, like sending a ship with 900 Jewish refugees back to Europe in 1939), renegotiating trade agreements (that’s another Brexit isolationist policy), letting tax-exempt religious organizations into politics (we know what religion-based politics are), withdrawing support for NATO (seems like he is going to fend Russians and terrorists alone). I can’t come up with a single Trump policy that I would support. Can you tell me without referring how bad Hillary is, what of Trump’s proposed policies is going to “make America great” as he claims?

Clearly, after 8 years of the disastrous Obama regime, 4 more years of the same thing with Hillary would leave the United States and world in shambles.
The US, like Europe, needs to regulate its borders or cease to exist as an of heir of Western Civilization.
Also, the United States became a hyper power because it’s people were allowed to create wealth in a free market economy.
Hillary is a socialist globalist and would continue the same ruinous anti-American economic policies of wealth and employment destruction implemented by the Obama regime.
Lastly, THE Donald loves America.
Hillary and the Democrat Party hate America as it was founded and are actively trying to destroy it.

How is Trump going to regulate the borders? Do you think it’s practical or effective to build the wall or deport 11 mln people who do a good job picking crops, mowing lawns, and cleaning rooms.
Globalism is a direct consequence of the free market, is it not? It allows US companies freely sell products across the world, move production to regions with cheaper production cost, and save on domestic taxes. Sure, “renegotiating” the free-trade agreements will move US car production to the US, but the cars will become more expensive, and the markets to sell them will shrink, effectively killing both the jobs and the corporate profits.
I work for a fabless semiconductor company employing about 100 people in the US and giving jobs to quite a few subcontractors. But production is in Taiwan. If it were not, there is no way we could compete with Chinese manufacturers. It’s very short-sighted to view globalism as evil.
Trump plays on emotions of uneducated Joe Doe who believes that a Mexican who doesn’t speak English is taking his job (I feel really sorry for Joe) or that his job is exported to China.
Still, why exactly is Obama “regime” is “disastrous” and what exact Trump policies would benefit the US? BTW, I’ve heard, he backed off from his plan to deport all immigrants.

Bill Clinton who served two terms as President of the United States was a proven sexual predator.
He was impeached for lying under oath about his sexual predation while President.
He looked the American people in the eye, shook his big long finger at them and lied right to our face, saying:
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky…”
And Hillary manned a squad of attack dogs which included gun for hire, James Carville and Democrat Party hack, George Stephanopoulos who went after, threatened and tried to ruin, Bill Clinton’s accusers.
Hillary enabled, supported and protected her husband, Bill Clinton in his sexual predation.
You people on the left are shameless hypocrites.
Me pointing that out is in no way a defense of THE Donald whose behavior in this case is indefensible.
But if you folks can support proven psychotic predators like Hillary and her husband Bill, then anything anyone else says 15 years ago in a supposedly private moment should be insignificant.
Why do you folks never hold your own people to the same moral standards as you demand of others?
