I'll go out in s limb and predict that these Trump Tapes will have absolutely no affect on the election. Most people, at this late point, have already selected their candidate and this revelation will not affect things for Trump. Nor will any Wikileaks revelations affect Hillary either. It's a tight race and maybe an argument can be made for the swing voters pushing it for one or the other, but I'm guessing that the silent undecideds had made up their minds long ago too. I'm not psychic so I can't call the election.Only saying the votes were locked in long ago. We'll find out after Election Day who that locked vote was primarily for.

I would love to see Pence take over the ticket. I don't know how that would work unless Trump resigned.
Biden said he committed sexual assault. lol. That sounds downright snowflakey!

I knew this election was going to be sick, but this has gone beyond my expectations. When I think about Trump's performance in the first debate, and how many chances he passed up where he could have slammed hillary hard...it makes me wonder...
I am from Chicago. I have lived here by far the majority of my life. I am no stranger to unusual election antics not to mention outright fraud. But this, this is something else. I am really starting to believe that Trump was hand picked as an opponent for hillary, who just happened to be sitting on some damning evidence. At the time of the debates, it seemed strange to me that of all the things she could have talked about she kept going back to Trump's comments about women and his disrespect for rosie odonnell. There were so many other issues she could have attacked on but she kept banging on about that one. Now I wonder if it wasn't all scripted well in advance. It is starting to look like it to me.
I really had hope that we would finally get something besides the status quo. Now I think the status quo is more deeply entrenched than a tic on a hounds back and there is no sign it will be letting go any time soon. Not only are we going to get four more years of the same, it will be the same with a side order of roid rage.
We are truly screwed with hillary in office. And it is becoming apparent that Trump was never meant to be a serious candidate. The really sad part is that I don't think this is sooo different than years past. It is just that the game is more obvious now than it has ever been before and no one seems to care. I guess the fluoride did its job...

touching a woman's arse is sexual assault, those threads about muslims sexually assaulting white women that tabloids headline once and awhile, who knew so many trump fans were snowflakes.

So I am a trump guy.(was a trump guy) I do look over some of his antics and what he does. I just chalk it up to don being don. I saw the video and audio of him degrading a woman. I can't stand anyone who belittles a woman to an object. I know the context of the audio was 2 guys joshing around but Just that he said it the way he said it and the fact it was about a married woman I can't accept.
I will not be voting for Clinton. I want trump to step aside and have Mike Pence step in. I really believe he has no chance now. Absolutely ZERO chance. The last thing I want is Clinton but with trump running I know she will win. Its almost as if he is doing this on purpose. I really wouldn't doubt it. He is pretty much the only opponent that she could beat. She isn't even beating him, he is beating himself.
Anyone change there mind recently and want to jump on the Pence wagon?

I just don't want Hillary. Trump has apologized for his comments. For this video to come out when it has, shows me that it was a planned attack on his campaign and to provide distraction. What he said was in poor taste, but he's never gotten anyone killed and lied about it. He wasn't under investigation by the FBI, only to get off free. Other people also made deals with the FBI.
I see the entire system as corrupt and all of these things are put on as a sideshow attraction to entertain people and make them talk and debate as if any of it really matters.
Here is Donald Trump's statement about the video.
"Here is my statement.
I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me, know these words don’t reflect who I am.
I said it, it was wrong, and I apologize.
I’ve travelled the country talking about change for America. But my travels have also changed me. I’ve spent time with grieving mothers who’ve lost their children, laid off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future. I have gotten to know the great people of our country, and I’ve been humbled by the faith they’ve placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down.
Let’s be honest. We’re living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we are facing today. We are losing our jobs, we are less safe than we were 8 years ago and Washington is broken.
Hillary Clinton, and her kind, have run our country into the ground.
I’ve said some foolish things, but there is a big difference between words and actions. Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days.
See you at the debate on Sunday."

Doesn't work that way. Pence is not running, Trump is. Pence only becomes president if Trump gets elected and for some reason can't hold office (i.e. ~ incapacitated, dead, impeached & removed, or resigns). If Trump stepped aside prior to election, the RNC would appoint a candidate for the Republican party (probably Ryan or Romney).

It was 11 years ago, if he said this last week I'd join you. I'd be on your side.
I've said stupid crap about women, and every man I know brags about their sexual conquest at some point.
I don't care about it, neither do any women I know.
I'm voting for Trump's policies and negotiation skills. His ability to recognize COMMON SENSE issues that politicians refuse to comment on.
Policies, SCOTUS, border security is now less important than stupid social comments?
Get real, get your head out of the sand and don't quit the fight.
You're about to lay complacent as a rape enabler, Hillary Clinton, takes over with credentials worse than Trump in every way.

I think it was the Thursday speech he gave. I came home and actually checked the bugout equipment and supplies
Or he could say once elected he will step aside in turn a vote for trump would be a vote for pence. Do you trust him that much though
