The real puzzling thing about the Trumpeteers is:
They support him because he says what he means, but he didn't mean that when he said it.
Logic apparently is not a Republican trait.

Don't give "Real Republicans" a bad rap. They are running away from him as fast as they can. - Dave

I wouldn’t say what Donald Trump said a decade ago is OK but here is something to at least think about. Men are of a totally different mindset than women when it comes to sex, at least the real men not necessarily the girlie boys. A known fact is that a man’s attitude about sex is more animalistic than that of most women. From a very young age men/boys are consumed with thoughts of sex and although their sex drive weans with age it may last a lifetime.

In the confines of a locker room or other private place men discuss sex fairly openly with other men and often times very graphically. Some women friends tell me many women do the same but maybe not quite as graphically. If men are honest they will have to admit what Trump did was something that many of us have done before and if we didn’t do it personally we have witnessed firsthand someone who has. Show me a man that sometime in his lifetime hasn’t said something sexual about a woman and I’ll show you a liar. Trump’s blunder unbeknown to him was that he was speaking those condescending remarks in front of a live microphone.

While I don’t say what Trump said is OK, to all you do-gooder pious folks who would jump on the band wagon and condemn Trump for this screw-up I say to you, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”.

Here we go again..."Real men talk like Trump, only girly boys don't."

Again, thanks for proving to us how morally repugnant and childish the right wing mindset is. It is as sick as a lot of us already suspected.

Keep up the good work, Huey, this is very educational!

It is also true that some women provoke men by dressing skimpy, showing off their 'stuff.' So a guy is aroused and acts in it is what some babes want.

Oh please, please Keenan, tell us how in your whole life you have never made a sexual remark about a woman. Then we'll all know your either a liar or a homosexual. Which are you? Please tell us.

"Mommy, he did it first! And if he didn't, then he's a faggot or girly boy!"

Keep posting, man-child! I appreciate the way you are exposing the right wing mindset for all to see.

Yea, I'm sure that "babes" like to be sexually assaulted. Wearing skimpy clothes is invitation to be raped, right John? Wowzers. You are right out of the 1950's, aren't you? Is this how people still think in the mid west?

Huey Driver Loc: Texas

I'm not sure how this post pertains in any way to the original post. You bore me. Typical liberal you change the subject rather than give an honest sensible reply.

Huey Driver: Oh please, please Keenan, tell us how in your whole life you have never made a sexual remark about a woman. Then we'll all know your either a liar or a homosexual. Which are you? Please tell us.

Nagy: This is the kind of comment that can only come from someone who feels he has to validate his manhood to every other male whenever an attractive woman passes by. They fall all over each other to argue which of them has the least resistance to the woman, whom they have no reason to believe they would be able to have, having seen her for a second and not knowing her. If they did, they probably need to be worried about STDs. Meanwhile, the real men pursue the attractive women who are actually attainable, instead of proving to other men how horny and utterly male they are.

Now they are, some of them, but Trump's deficiencies were clear at the onset; what took them so long?

"Real Republicans" don't get credit for finally deserting him. "Real Republicans" would have deserted him a long time ago. Look at the long slew of his comments that they constantly overlooked--insults to veterans, women, blacks, hispanics, Trump's frightening comments about nuclear weapons, his threats to tear apart our alliances; admiration for Putin, etc. They have put party over country for months and months, and the bus tape really gave them no choice but to abandon him lest they put their own political futures at risk. They nurtured the Tea Party, and now they have painted themselves into a corner.

What he said was not a "sexual remark about a woman"--"I'd like to get in her pants" or "I'd like to have sex with her" or "look at that ass." This was a 59 year old married man crudely bragging that he sexually assaults women with impunity because he is famous and that he is drawn like a magnet to do it.

Twardlow Loc: Arkansas

This isn't about a man who "said something sexual about a woman;" this is a man out of control, whose sexual appetite confuses sex with assault, who prepares with TicTacs for domineering kisses and gropes--unwanted tongue rape and forced explorations. This is the stuff of cheap, lurid novels, of prepubescent fantasies, of profound sexual insecurity, and of ruthless domination. Donald Trump is an insult to every husband, father, and son, and a threat to every wife, mother, and daughter, leaving too few voters left to join him in a majority of co-conspirators.

This man is a failed human being, a boor, uncivilized and repugnant.

At last the unthinking and the clueless revisit giving him moral authority, respect, political power and the nuclear codes.

After a long romance with base instincts, quick-and-easy but disastrous solutions--and ignorance!--a nation stumbles into revulsion and clarity, finally using the ultimate political tool, the gag reflex.

Ah, yes, the favorite excuse of rapists everywhere.
