By now you know about the Access Hollywood recording in which Donald Trump said bad things eleven years ago. Many of my readers asked me to weigh in. One of the requests came from anti-Trump GOP elite person Erick Erickson. (Middle name Erick, I assume.) This was his polite request and my response.
Challenge accepted!
I’ll give you my thoughts, in no particular order.
– If this were anyone else, the election would be over. But keep in mind that Trump doesn’t need to outrun the bear. He only needs to outrun his camping buddy. There is still plenty of time for him to dismantle Clinton. If you think things are interesting now, just wait. There is lots more entertainment coming.
– I assume that publication of this recording was okayed by the Clinton campaign. And if not, the public will assume so anyway. That opens the door for Trump to attack in a proportionate way. No more mister-nice-guy. Gloves are off. Nothing is out of bounds. It is fair to assume that Bill and Hillary are about to experience the worst weeks of their lives.
– I assume that 75% of male heads of state, including our own past presidents, are total dogs in their private lives. Like it or not, Trump is normal in that world.
– Another rich, famous, tall, handsome married guy once told me that he can literally make-out and get handsy with any woman he wants, whether she is married or not, and she will be happy about it. I doubted his ridiculous claims until I witnessed it three separate times. So don’t assume the women were unwilling. (Has anyone come forward to complain about Trump?)
-Clinton supporters hated Trump before this latest outrage. Trump supporters already assumed he was like this. Independents probably assumed it too. Before you make assumptions about how this changes the election, see if anyone you know changes their vote because of it. All I have seen so far is people laughing about it.
-My prediction of a 98% chance of Trump winning stays the same. Clinton just took the fight to Trump’s home field. None of this was a case of clever strategy or persuasion on Trump’s part. But if the new battleground is spousal fidelity, you have to like Trump’s chances.
– Trump wasn’t running for Pope. He never claimed moral authority. His proposition has been that he’s an asshole (essentially), but we need an asshole to fight ISIS, ignore lobbyists, and beat up Congress. Does it change anything to have confirmation that he is exactly what you thought he was?
My thoughts above have more to do with reason than persuasion. And that means you can ignore all of it because reason is not part of decision-making when it comes to politics. On the persuasion level, all that matters is whether this new development changes what you already assumed about Trump.

Like iowahawk said – Melania is now qualified to be Senator, Sec of State and eventually run for president
All the female, Bill Clinton Democrats should be feeling a tingle somewhere.
One month ago, Hillary had yet to make her “deplorables” gaffe, or have a public seizure on the sidewalk. We will see what shakes out in the next month.
My only reaction to this is that Republicans who were “for” him are now able to shed their hypocrite cloaks and be vocal–which may be more damaging than you think, especially if they are newswhores and can out run even upchuck Schumer to the mic.
But it’s true–now Hillary has had this issue taken away from her because now she has nothing to hide behind; her fingerprints are all over this even if she didn’t touch it.
‘Middle name Erick, I assume.’
Nope, middle name ‘pussy’.
Adams, who I’m hot & cold on, could’t have hit it any farther out of the park with this one. This election just got cranked up to where we all knew it was going to go. Bill and Hillary have enjoyed a hand’s off oppo from our side. That shit is over. I bet Trump is reevaluating his approach tomorrow night.
My gal told me today to never call her a pussy again and I said fine, ya fuckin’ ryan. Really, if this flushes out, for once and for all, the #neverTrumpers, good. President Trump has a long memory and after Ryan I hope that cock sucker, Rinse my Penis, is second. Can his fucking ass and appoint Eric as head of the party. Oh man, watch the heads explode. That would put the dems on notice that the days of us being REgressive light are done.
Seeing the reactions from Jeb! and Romney actually lowered my testosterone. And Adam’s dig about The Sweaty Thumb’s name was the laugh of the day.
This didn’t change a thing, I’m still voting Trump!
The funny thing is that damn near every guy I’ve ever known has talked like this on occasion. While that occasion usually involves too many beers and not a network interview the conversations have been similar. By the way, before Hillary and her female contingent get too offended by Trumps interview I’ve known a lot of women that when they get together with liquor (wine usually but on occasion I’ve seen the girls disappear with Tequila and limes) and they get worse then the guys.
People need to remember that in 2005 Trump was constantly selling himself as the rich, confident, arrogant TV star with that image to uphold. I suspect that a piece of that interview was an act. In any event Adams is right, if Hillary tries to use that (or her PACs, supporters, Gestapo, whatever) she’ll open the door for the guy that doesn’t give a crap and you’ll soon see commercials with Hillary laughing at a 12 year old rape victim she just destroyed on the stand or her explaining to the big money vultures on Wall Street that they themselves are in the best position to write the rules for their industry etc etc etc.
My better half is very female in a number of traditional ways. She says this doesn’t phase her.
@Just guys being guys, off the record. ”
She’s voting for Trump.
She does wish he would be “more presidential”, for the undecideds and a low info voters that will need to get past 51% .
And she really does feel frustration that he keeps getting involved drawn into pointless Twitter wars with every total nobody who stumbles along.
She thinks he should never have let himself get suckered into taking the bait with the Kahns, or this Miss Universe puta.
But locker room talk doesn’t bother her at all. After eight years of Homo Obama, she says some public healthy masculine heterosexuality is refreshing.
I’m hoping a lot of women feel the same way.
(Middle name Erick, I assume.)
I can’t stop laughing at that. First chuckle of the day.
Erick, dude, don’t start shit with people who make a living doing satire.
Sweaty idiot. lol
Still voting for Don Trump!
MM wins the Internets! Fire Rinse Prius, fire Paul Pussy Ryan, fire Senator Yertle The Turtle McWhatsisname. Get Eric Trump to head RNC.
We need to vote in Conservative men and women who are non-PC and willing to tell it like it is and pass legislation that tells it like it is.
does Earache Earache Earacheson live in a van down by the river?
Erickson is an attorney, or at least he went to law school, so he should know that a lawyer never asks a question to which he does not know the answer. Motion to dismiss, your honor.
For fucks sake rappers that Obama adores sing (If u can call it that) about popping pussy. And all kinds of crap –it’s just unbelievable

Big Fuzzy, remind me to never tell you anything again!

You’re tall, I’ll give you that.
“Proud Member of the Basket of Deplorables”

or a democrat … but I repeat myself
Jay Z (Barry and Michelle’s BFF) lyrics:
“Pussy”
[Chorus (Jay-Z)]
The power of the P-U-S-S-Y,
Thatz why every mutherfucka in the world dress fly.
Every baller
that can afford it they cop the best ride, for the power of the P-U-S-S-Y.
(Let’s have some fun)
The power of the P-U-S-S-Y, thatz why niggaz get they hair cut, try to dress fly.
Every baller that can afford it he cop the best ride.
For the Power of the P-U-S-S-Y.
[Jay-Z]
I-I know this girl we call her Sweet Cooch Brown.
Hands down mami had the bombest pussy in town.
One dip in the girl pool, thatz all it took.
One sample of the snappa and ya ass was whooped.
Have you buyin Gucci sandals matchin pocketbooks.
Blowin up her beeper, ringin her phone off the hook.
Ball playaz they spent money, rappers they spent time.
All the while both claimin that they never spent a dime.
Buisness guys you were victimised.
Have ’em payin rent on condos in a Miami High Rise.
They ask her, “Who pussy’s this?”
Look her right in her eyes.
She say, “This pussy’s yours, Daddy”
Tell ’em nothin but lies.
Ha! They didn’t believe it, but they wanted to.
Needed to. She had the type of body that you didn’t want leavin you.
So they ignored all her flirtin ways and put a ring on her finger.
I’m like, “Earth to Dave!”
[Chorus]
[R. Kelly]
Naw..I ain’t no rapper but I’mma sing my shit
when it comes down to that mutherfuckin click click click.
Niggaz I tick tick tick, turn on ya quick quick quick.
And thatz why I be givin mami much dick dick dick.
While yall chumps be coppin diamonds and fur and all that,
Fiendin for this pussy as if yall was on crack.
When it comes to the truth, I can’t hold back.
Ya’ll cats (?) hittin these broads need to be smacked.
It’s this nigga named Monroe that I know from way back.
He hit the lotto, bought this girl a Cadillac.
Now this bitch be creepin behind this niggaz back.
Me bust his nut guess what he still took this bitch back.
Three things niggaz love…money, pussy, and drugs.
Can’t get one without the other unless you soft and in love.
Yall take it from a nigga who’s done all the above.
Niggaz it the lesbian R&B thug.
[Chorus]
[Devin the Dude]
The P is for the pearl tongue that I like to tickle.
The U is for uterus, down deep in the middle.
SS is so slippery when I go up inside.
Pussy’s good and if you gettin some I know you know Y.
See I got my first shot when I was bout 7.
Her father called my house he said,
“I need to talk to yo son Devin.
My daughter she’s 11 and she goes to the same school that yo son goes to.
And she said today she got screwed.”
But my daddy answer the phone so no drama, and all he said was,
“No shit! Let me talk to that girl mama!”
Then i was suspended 3 day, tooken from school.
It was like a vacation.
Niggaz lookin at pussy at the pool in our apartments.
I started hittin hard when I was small.
Let me recite a story lesson for all of yall.
See pussy’s like a wound it would never heal,
the more ointment you put on then the better it feels.
Cuz it’s…
[Chorus]
[R. Kelly]
Oh yeah.
Niggaz will do anything for some pussy.
Hey Hey Hey!
Oh! See it don’t matter who you are,
where you from, in this life at some point ya gonna wanna get you some.
Yes you will.
Ooo. Oh! I know.
tony –
did you actually UNDERSTAND those lyrics?….or did you have to grab them off the webs?
because, mostly, when i’m forced to hear that music, it’s like greek to me…….
no offense to greeks, of course……lol
Chuck: Oh hell no. Can’t stand rap/hip hop “music”. I searched Jay Z lyrics, took about 30 seconds to find “Pussy” song title, and cut and paste it here. Never even knew he has a song titled “Pussy”, it sort of jumped off the page at me.
