Donald Trump says that President Obama is not a citizen of the United States.
In a presidential debate, Donald Trump brags about the size of his penis.
After a presidential debate Donald Trumps suggests the moderator was on her period because she asked unfair questions.

Donald Trump picks a fight with a Gold Star family and suggests he has sacrificed as much.
Donald Trump says not paying taxes makes you smart.
Donald Trump calls Miss Universe fat.
Donald Trump boasts that as a celebrity he can do whatever he wants with women.
Scratch that last one. I misspoke. What I meant to say is Donald Trump thinks when you are a star you can do whatever you want including grabbing a married woman by her pussy.
Donald Trump is disgusting. I mean it. Really.

I’m thinking the American people have just about what they wanted- even if far too many of them want to blame everyone but themselves for the mess we’ve made.
Year after year people vote on whims, feelings, and whatever shiny thing attracted them in the last week of an election and now? All this whining about no choices?

Yes, this is an important one. They all are but this one especially.
Difference for me here has been that we have been solidly red since pipeline days and we are so small with only 3 electoral votes that my vote for President truly has not mattered for all these years. While I have voted it hasn’t moved the needle here. This time promised to be the same and I entertained the notion of not voting for President- just cuz I’m tired of it all.
However, we are close enough this time for every vote to count.
We’ll see what happens. Awful lot of Libertarian sentiment here and polls are showing a larger and larger share going that direction. Pffft.
We need to take the Senate folks.
Mr Trump may well implode but the scurrying in the last couple days by Rs is all about down ticket races. A lot of those scurriers don’t care about him- just care about holding on to Congress.

I have made up my mind. I’m going to vote for Ms Clinton.
And it has nothing to do with Mr Trump’s latest crap.
As you know, I’m a staunch Democratic Socialist of over 40 years. Also, I am decidedly anti New Democrat ( Eisenhower Republicans)
.I was very happy to see Mr Sanders do as well as he did in the primaries and what he managed to get into the party platform. I wasn’t sure that was enough to vote for Ms Clinton though.
I’ve decided it will do for now and intend to stay on her to fulfill those promises as President.
And for the first time since this state got over run by oil workers from the south, we actually have a chance to have my vote count. Might not happen but gonna go for it.
I am sick unto perdition of the bullshit being spread about Ms Clinton. I disagree with so many of her notions – I could go on for weeks- but there is no candidate in my memory who has endured such scrutiny and come out clean.
Other Bernie fans who are howling about her ties to Wall Street and corporate -america can vote however they want but as it has been a long damn time since we got anything like real progressive plans into the party platform I’m going to take that small victory and run with it.
And I’m going to let myself actually hope that my vote in a small electoral-vote total state can actually help dump the stupenagle garbage the hydra-headed Republican platform is by helping Ms Clinton into the white House.

Anyone who is outraged that Hillary Clinton didn’t defend the women who had affairs with her husband has never known (or been) “a woman scorned.” The fact that she chose to remain married to a philanderer doesn’t make her unfit for the presidency. It makes her a better woman than most, and demonstrates her resolve to honor a promise. Hillary was not the one who did the philandering, she was the one who stayed with the man she married, and hell yes she was angry as a wet hen at the women who knowingly boffed a married man. And they did it because power is the strongest aphrodisiac on earth.
Trump, on the other hand, is the one who assaults women, pursues women and beds them even when he is married and is going to trial for the forcible and repeated rape of a 13 year old girl, which makes him a pedophile. Every time you people read a story about a pedophile you scream for the death sentence, or castration, or both … unless it’s TRUMP!?? Come on! He’s the one who can’t be trusted, can’t keep from lying, can’t keep a promise and can’t keep his dick in his pants.
And Hillary is unfit?? Damn, she’s the strongest, fittest, steadiest woman on earth.

Here’s a partial list of awful things the drumfsterfire has said and done.
And here’s a story, just ONE instance, showing exactly what sort of bottomless pit of power hunger Mike Pence is.
So, if you still think these are the people you want governing the country, it says exactly what kind of people you are.

Interesting comments. I wanted to also mention an interesting email exchange between former Secretary of States Colin Powell and Condaleeza Rice that was revealed in Powell’s leaked email. Powell referred to the series of eight Benghazi hearings as a “witchhunt.” He said HRC, of course has some blame, but there is plenty of blame to go around including a Congress who failed to fund more security. Rice agreed. But, if these two senior Republicans are not convincing, ask why Congressman Kevin McCarthy is not Speaker of the House. The reason is he inadvertently told the truth in a Fox interview saying the purpose of the Benghazi hearings were to discredit HRC. And, if the words of three GOP leaders is not enough ask why were their eight committees and why Congressman Darrel Issa took nine months to call the authors of the first Benghazi report, Admiral Mike Mullens and Ambassador Thomas Pickering to testify.
HRC is far from perfect, but she is highly competent, experienced and has a significant number of global relationships as evidenced by polls in the G20 countries favoring her over a Trump by 19 to 1. Her biggest adversary is the carefully crafted caricature made of her by opponents using many disproven stories and some actual missteps.

For those who don’t know, we have had attacks on US embassies or interest abroad, under many presidents, from Reagan on to the current president. Remember the marine barracks bombings in 1983, or the Embassy attack in Somalia, and..I hate to drag all that out again, so I will stop. Only morons and simple-minded individuals would blame these presidents or their secretaries of state for these attacks. These are the same people who supported the president who lied us into the Iraq war and trillions later, are blaming the current president for the deficit that war caused, but which rate of expansion has been vastly reduced since he took over the presidency. They are blinded by his dark skin and nothing else. How dared he? Yes, he dared and we are all better off for it. He could have done more had the GOP not put party before country and obstructed him at every turn.

Then, you can add the sexual harassment and bigotry, misogyny, racism, etc.
When he first announced his candidacy, I thought it was a ruse. Then I dug more into his past and he is far worse than I initially thought. He has built a career screwing people literally and figuratively, many who are like his devoted followers.

I think it really is impossible for any registered Republican who, up to this latest deplorable shenanigan by the Republican candidate for President of the US, has continued to support the orange shyster, to finally come to their senses over this one.
The drumfsterfire bragged about a year ago, that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, and that his supporters would still vote for him. This is probably the one truth that’s ever come out of his lying mouth–because his supporters are as racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, narcissistic, fascistic, isolationist, deluded, and deplorable, as Drumf himself.
I do hope to hell and back, though, that the undecided white women who were still waffling about voting for him, for the sake of ‘party unity’ and such other garbage, may actually hear him talking about groping/sexually assaulting other white women, and come to realize that ‘party unity’ is really not worth electing a man who, should he find their own daughters attractive enough, would feel justified trying to violate them.
And I confine this realization to white women, because women of color, and really, all minorities, already know what type of rotten garbage this orange shit pile is.
The other thing to remember is that Mike Pence is just as bad. Pence may not talk about women’s pussies, but he would gladly put women in jail for making decisions about their own reproductive health that he, Pence, doesn’t agree with. Pence would gladly criminalize and torture–via so-called ‘conversion therapy’–queer/LGTBQIA+ youth. Pence may not ‘grab strange women’s pussies’ but he would happily blame those women for the grabber’s actions.
These are the two caricatures of the worst of humanity that the GOP saw fit to put in the ballot for the Presidential election this time around, because there are at least 30 millions of white cis US citizens who think that all those deplorable things drumpsterfire says and does, and that Pence advocates for, are just dandy.

Donald Trump is mentally ill. His loving family needs to commit him before he does any more damage to them and to himself.

Amen sister!! The man is a first rate liar. He hates women, ethnics, the poor, the sick, people in unconventional relationships and marriages, people who are not Christian and the list goes on. His favorite friend is Putin and Trump wants to control this country like Putin controls Russia. Say what ?!?!?! Last time I looked, it was ‘We the People”, not Trump the dictator. And now he thinks because he is a star he should be able to grope and touch women. He is THE worst excuse for a human on the planet.
The idea that The Tea Party continues to support him is unbelievable. But I guess stupid is as stupid does.

Trump should be speechless, but he isn’t and won’t be. I don’t think he’ll give up. In his ridiculous, insincere “apology,” he told us all that what he said was wrong, but it was more than ten years ago. Then he attacked Bill Clinton for his infidelities while he was president and said that Hillary Clinton bullied the women. Uh, Donald? It’s been more than ten years since Bill Clinton was president. And it’s been far less than ten years since you made your stupid comments about “blood coming out of her whatever” and it was “disgusting” that Hillary Clinton went to use the bathroom during a break at a Democratic debate and was a couple of minutes late returning to the stage. Apparently, we women are supposed to be ashamed of our bodily functions, and we are controlled by them, which turns us into blithering idiots. Who is the stupid one here?
Love,
Janie

To answer your question, Helen: “NONE, for his supporters, and for the majority of Trump’s congressional and political supporters.”
Trump represents the CORE of the Republican Party. It’s just who they are. I do hope Hillary makes your point about Melania being responsible for TRUMP’S behavior, as the Republicans assert that she is responsible for Bill’s, should it be alleged in the debates.

FABULOUS piece and one of your best. You’ve long been my ideal, but this piece makes you a standout. Who better than a strong grandmother to call out a sexist pig who preys on women as IF using my tax dollars to support his lifestyle gives him the right to? Just as his bid for the presidency needs to end, so do reality shows that allow a naive public to be lured into thinking there’s anything REAL about them, or impressive about the mentally weakened men that star in them. Let’s dump the Trump brand he’s so proud of. Let’s let Donald Trump’s OWN WORDS give to Donald Trump’s name BRAND the same exact thing he did to all his conquests!

The list omitted two (well, probably a lot, but these came immediately to mind):
1) denigrated John McCain for being a POW since he only likes soldiers who are not captured and
2) accepted a Purple Heart from a vet, saying, “I always wanted one of these.”

Helen, your list of Trump’s actions, written out like that, make it impossible to believe that a sane political party could possibly nominate him for President of the United States. He is absolutely unqualified, by experience, education, temperament, and every other measure known to humankind. And yet, people have voted, and will vote, for him, if he stays in the race. How did we get here?

I am up, watching CNN!:) When I awoke from my nap, the channel was on, my husband remained a faithful viewer and I could not help myself but watch. Don Lemmon did try tonight to keep the spinners on track. I was gratified to see a lot Republican strategists and spinners denounce Trump. He is an uncouth and foul mouthed individual, respects no one including his wife and children. The words he said on the tape came out of his own mouth, when he was ungarded and could let loose. That is exactly who he is and Helen has listed many of his other uncouth moments. I wish him luck defending himself, going forward, from the accusations that have begun to come out from women he has done these things to.
That said, the taped apology, when it finally came, was a non-apology. Not when you have to bring somebody else’s misdeeds in your apology. Bill Clinton is not running for president. He paid for the Monica Lewinsky affair dearly while in office. Besides, I always perceived that Hillary was his victim, especially when he let her put herself out there defending him and did not level off with her. Trump therefore is not going to garner a whole bunch of empathy by playing the Bill card against Hillary.

It’s time for the orange-haired shit-flinger to withdraw from the race. After all, he only got into it as a PR stunt and to push NBC to meet his compensation and re-sign him to host “The Apprentice”.
Most importantly, though, The Trumpster needs to focus all his effort in launching a search for Mrs. Trump #4; I have a sneaking suspicion that he’s going to be back on the market soon because a h-u-u-u-ge “bimbo eruption” coming on.
