I thought she was taking a day off.

I agree! Kelleyanne is a skank!

Saw a clip of her interview on CNN and it was a total mess. She totally refused to answer any of the questions being asked of her. Instead she shouted back at Brianna that she’s doing America a disservice in wanting to discuss these topics about her candidate. Her response was very gritty, in my opinion.

Chair: (whimper)
Therapist: It’s okay. You’re safe. He can’t hurt you now.

Utah is reportedly in play and HO made the comment today that he doesn’t know the Miss Utah who accused him of kissing her on the lips, never heard of her, never touched her - basically she’s a liar.

If you watch Temple Taggart talk about this event and how emotional she gets about being kissed by this old man, I know whom I believe.

And the Salt Lake Tribune endorsed HRC today. I keep hear Rod Serlings voice and that creepy music…

Can’t help but to notice how all his defenders on television are are struggling extra hard tonight. Their like abused wives that don’t want to say anything about knowing that their boss beats his wife.

Speak up, and lose your job. Speak up, and get blackballed.

Those things are often true, but, I think there’s an even stronger dynamic at work. Strange as it may seem, women who’ve been physically violated often feel deeply ashamed. It’s as if the entire sin of the encounter is transferred onto us. We fear to mention it lest we be viewed as soiled – forever a lesser, deeply degraded person. Perhaps that’s starting to change, but for the women in these years-ago incidents, I’d be willing to bet that dynamic was (and maybe still is) at work.

Thanks for posting em-dash, great graphic, sez it all!

LOL Brian Williams on MSNBC just called the Trump GOP opposition the “Vichy GOP.” ROFL.

Trump’s image on that poster is the look of a powerful man who can do anything he pleases. Given Trump’s birther b.s. in 2011, most reporters already knew what kind of man he was. Even Fox News despised him but was unable to stand up against him. And then Fox News, like so many on the right, caved.

I was thinking it should look more like a Circus Peanut.

I saw a video a few minutes ago of donald going down an escalator talking to a ten year old girl (according to the head line)
and he says to her, I think he says "are you going up? Then says to the ten year old girl " Im going to date you in ten years.

Actually it’s probably more like a cock roach.

That works, especially if she’s flanked by two uniformed officers holding handcuffs. Not saying that HO be arrested that night but the visual impact…

Doesn’t matter. In the past week, I’ve had several friends tell me about people they know who were planning to vote for Trump and have now decided not to. Some are still planning to vote in the down-ticket races. Others are just demoralized and planning to stay home. Either way is fine by me.

You are correct that there can’t be many undecideds left. But there are still folks who were planning to hold their noses and vote Trump. Anything that dissuades them is a good thing.

Tip to any media outlets reading this discussion if you want a Pulitzer and an Oscar-award winning film made of your work, substitute “Trump” for “Roman Catholic priests” and follow the Boston Globe’s template. It is exactly the same dynamic at play.
