Barbara, I know what ya mean. But my wife since the tape came out of the "boy talk" is consumed with it. Goes to bed watching it and gets up and turns it on.
It woke up some real discuss in one who up till then, knew who she was voting for (HRC) but paid no attention to the daily games.

It has been on for about two years.

Election/politics is big business employing a ton load of professionals.

I wonder if the tape had a different impact on females than it did males.

My husband and I were talking about it and he was questioning why none of the women went to authorities at the time it happened. I completely understood why they didn't go to authorities at the time.

I heard that only 20% of rapes are reported. (I have no idea how accurate that is). I suspect that groping is hardly ever reported to authorities.

My guess is that most adult women have been groped inappropriately at least once. I have no scientific data to back that up.

Kudos to Anderson Cooper for not letting him off the hook and pinning him down in front millions of voters on national TV. The orange masher is toast.

Indeed, the election fatigue has become numbing. As noted, it's been non stop for two years now and something needs to be done about it. This assault on the American public by our political system has got to stop. The American people don't deserve this crap.

Trumps bullshit has me up at night worrying about what his nutcase supporters are going to do. I'm considering buying a rifle.

I'd recommend a Louisville Slugger... or a twelve gauge pump action.

I thought i was the only one who felt this way. Maybe I am not as paranoid as I thought. Shotgun for me though.
