I'll be the first to admit I don't like the guy, so there is probably some bias on my part.... On the other hand, if I heard any guy say these same things I would still think the words sound like the words of a predator.
Barbara as a white male who was raised to show women the respect they are due, and as the widower of an honorable, decent woman I was greatly offended.

Words such as his only serve to reinforce this macho image that a young man's manhood is dependent on how many conquests he can make when in actual fact each conquest diminishes his manhood.

It would seem that you frequent some truly lower than low class bars and golf clubs.

The fact is our schools are heavily geared to readers, heavily biased to the Humanities.
Our schools are not the ones producing robots.
Dondi they employ these foreigners on H1B visas because they are the modern equivalent to the bonded servant of colonial days - $$$$$$$.

Heavily based in the Humanities? I wish.

We would most certainly be doomed if he were to be elected but I'm not at all sure we aren't doomed either way. I'm worried that someone with Trump's brain and Reagan's charm will come along in 4 or 8 years and waltz into the White House.

I just shake my head and wonder how the heck we have gotten to this point. even worse, i was shaking my head back in the debates and the discussion was the size of his hands.

I am absolutely sick and tired of hearing about his hands, how big they are and where they have been. I did hear something the other day. Trump HATES to lose. Many time he bows out right be fore the end game if he thinks he is going to lose. This gives me an idea..................

GREENSBORO, N.C. (The Borowitz Report)—Hillary Clinton is “plotting to rig the election by getting more votes than I do,” Donald J. Trump warned his supporters on Friday.
Speaking at a rally, Trump detailed what he called Clinton’s “vast conspiracy” to accrue more votes than he does on Election Day.
“The media won’t tell you this, but Crooked Hillary is going around the country every single day, trying to get more votes than I do,” he said. “That’s how she’s going to rig it, folks.”....

...But, in a sign that Trump does not intend to take Clinton’s scheme to get more votes lying down, he ended his remarks with an ominous threat. “If, on Election Day, Hillary Clinton has more votes than I do, I will sue everyone who voted for her,” he said.

Poor Donald, he can't even fill up this small venue. Is the bloom off the rose?

The most important part of that story is the shrinking crowds part. Looks like the enthusiasm is wavering. That will cut into turnout.

Another sign that Trump is toast.
